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}

So, today, I broke the internet. At least, I broke my small piece of the internet. Behind the scenes here at Lisa Runs for Cupcakes, I could not access my site. Thanks to Mar, she let me know that the world was still able to see things. So, after a few hours of help from my host, RFE hosting, life was back to normal and I can access my blog! Normally, this would probably not even bother me but since {Read More}

To get you up to speed, here is my training recap of Week #1 and #2. And, to be perfectly honest, weeks two and three of NYC marathon training didn’t even feel like marathon training. I’m having quite a few issues popping up and instead of ending up seriously injured, I decided to take it easy and not push it. After all, I still have 15 weeks before race day which is a reasonable amount of time to get it together {trying {Read More}
NYC Marathon Training: Week 1 & 2
July 11, 2014 by 15 Comments
The last week of June I finally decided to get a plan together via SmartCoach and commit to my NYC Marathon Training. That week put me twenty weeks from the starting line of the NYCM. So far, I am very slowly trying to get my act together. We traveled back and forth to Maine a few times due to a family emergency. And, with all that travel in mind, I call these few weeks a success.
