75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
This was my first week of tapering and I’m not at all sorry I skipped roughly half of my runs. Typically when it comes to tapering for a race I usually do less than the plan calls for. I don’t really have a great reason for that but it has worked well for me in... 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 →
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 →
I’m someone who breaks big and hard things down into percentages and fractions. It started in high school with guarding crowded open swims and it continues with long runs today. This week every 3 km was 10% of the total and after 6 km I only had to do what I just did 4 more... 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 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 →
I finished last week tuckered out. So at the start of this week I knew that I might need to skip a run and I’m okay with that. I didn’t, well I sort of did, I turned one into a longer walk. This week was a little stressful at work, nothing too serious but like... Continue Reading →
