Today, I’m linking up with Erika, Patty, and April for their weekly link-up called Tuesdays on the Run. Typically, I love this type of post. It’s always fun to look back and see how far you have come and all the progress you are making towards your goals…. EXCEPT when there really isn’t any progress. I truly feel like a broken record and a negative Nancy when I look at the running goals I set for myself this year. Last fall, {Read More}

June 18, 2015 by 11 Comments
Nope, I didn’t quit my blog. As some of my close blogging friends know, I have considered shutting down my blog a time or two. Yet, for one reason or another, I always end up coming back and posting on my slice of the Internet.

I love sharing race recaps, connecting with teammates around the globe and maintaining friendships with other {Read More}

February 18, 2015 by 26 Comments
It’s time for me to share Peaks and Valleys: Adventures in Training Week 5, 6 & 7, my third series of training logs from 2015. This recap is definitely delayed as I intended to have this posted on February 9th! Whoops. So, now instead of a two-week recap, you have a glance at three weeks thanks to being terribly, horribly sick starting on February 2nd. There was zero running from me happening. And last week, I was finally able to slowly add miles back in. {Read More}

It’s marathon season! And, pretty much since the weekends of the Chicago and Marine Corps Marathon, everyone and their mother has been running, busting out PRs and soaking in the glory of the race and I’m over here munching on pancakes every Sunday morning. But, please don’t get me wrong, munching on pancakes on the weekends has been fantastic! Our weekends are full of fun, family time and friends. It’s been a blessing in disguise to not feel the urge to rush {Read More}
