CHRISTMAS = REST DAY I wanted to and enjoyed every bit of Christmas. After some miscommunication, I found my precious hambone in the trash.

This is the monster of a hill that I CHOOSE to run for my repeats! After some Googling & math, I think that this hill is a 7% incline/grade.

I was following a 10 week training plan that had 40 runs total. I completed 16 with only one long run of 5 miles before the race.

I say it is 95% my fault because the temps dropped and I was not dressed weather appropriate because it felt so good! Then 5% my kid's fault

Since the death of my treadmill in July I haven't really ran. I checked my Garmin app and literally the month of July I logged 5.25 miles..

I could have done them on the treadmill but quite frankly, this perimenopause season that I'm going through made treadmill running a HARD..

It was a lot of excuses and not a lot of running. I started a low heart rate training plan with my Garmin. It start the last week of April

I battled strep, the flu, avoided major injuries, and kicked off Easter weekend with an ear infection and both ears plugged up.

On the plus side, the pain in my upper back is finally starting to subside! On the down side, I did not read through my training plan.

I pride myself on the fact that I have never gone to the bathroom on the side of a trail...plus there is no place to drop trou.

This is going to be a short post. We were hit with Flu type A last week.

I don't necessarily buy into the whole Punxsutawney Phil thing but if we are set to get an early spring this year I won't be mad!

Coming off of a week of sinus pressure and stuffiness and just basically miserable from the neck up, it's a new week.

I can't believe it's time to start training again! I'm doing the challenge again this year meaning I'm running the 5K and the Half.

This was a crazy weekend so let's just dive into it! Thursday didn't go quite as I had planned. I wanted to have everything packed and...

Before I jump in, I want to remind y'all that this post is only covering Monday - Thursday and I'll have a separate post coming with the...

I ended up treating this week like a total recovery week! You'll see a lot of stretching and mobility added to my schedule and it all...

Y'all I have history of burn out in the last few weeks of training! Since this is my 3rd race that I have trained for and recapped for...

I just realized I don't think I have ever explained how I fuel for my runs. This is a total side note before I get into it. Any time I...
