75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Do you want to know a secret while all runs in your plan are important the people that write them for you don’t really expect that you will do every single one. But how can both of those things be true. Well we get that things come up and life happens along the way and... Continue Reading →
This week was mentally a rough one. Not hard really I just found myself really checked out of running. Last week was peak week with that doozy of a long run but this week really is a regular training week too. I’m not sure if it’s because if in the past the longest run was... Continue Reading →
This week was peak week and I’ve survived! In the past peak week for halfs has always come right before taper time but in this plan next week is still a pretty regular training volume, just the long run is A LOT shorter! But psychologically I’m totally done ya’ll! Even though I’m okay skipping a... Continue Reading →
So I’m technically mostly done marathon training at this point and this is pretty much the only time I can be honest and write this post. It is peak week after all and I’ve just done my 20 mile long run as this goes live. I’m at the point in training where I am milage... Continue Reading →
This week overall getting my runs in was a little tough for a few reasons. After my long run last week my knees were pretty sore. I wonder if that’s because I did it in a new pair of sneakers, so that’s sort of freaking me out a bit.. But I knew they weren’t injury... Continue Reading →
This week I got all my kms covered so that’s a big win. Little things kept popping up to make running harder than it should have been but I made it through. I am totally in the stage where I’m counting down to the end and not only is that okay it’s totally normal. This... Continue Reading →
This was the first in person race I’ve done since the pandemic started. There have been just a few in my area and some that even happened last fall but before now I just wasn’t ready. Specifically I definitely wanted to be double vaxed before I participated. When the email came through for this one... Continue Reading →
This week ticked on as predicted. I’m actually mostly back working with honey which has been really nice. My helper at work has learned everything there is to know at this point and she can handle my stuff with litte oversight which is great. After my long run this last weekend I had a lot...

First off I apologize to regular readers because all I’m getting out is training updates but that’s a pretty accurate representation of how my life is right now. This week was always going to be a tough one because I had to take my work truck off the road for what I thought was going... Continue Reading →
There’s no getting around it marathon training is adding up as is life. This past week of running was fine as was life but both together was lets just say less than fine. Alright that’s a bit dramatic but we are where we are. I guess dramatic is just the mood that I’m in. Nothing... Continue Reading →
