I can officially say that I am an Ultra Marathon runner! I completed the Forget the PR 50k in just under 8 hours. I spent the weeks leading up to the race training in the woods with friends and continued to doubt myself if I would be able to finish the 31 miles in theContinue reading “I’m an Ultra Marathon Runner”

Count Down to First Ultra!
It has been so long since I’ve written anything for this blog that I didn’t even know how to come back to it. I’d been thinking about it for the past two months as I’ve prepared and trained for my first ultra marathon. The thought of finding a way to segue seamlessly back into blogging withoutContinue reading “Count Down to First Ultra!”
Columbus Marathon Recap
The weekend started out with a road trip just two hours south of home and 3 other running friends. In the days leading up to the race, I was unsure what the temperature would be like that morning or even what I would wear. We’ve trained all summer in hot and humid temperatures that IContinue reading “Columbus Marathon Recap”

To be honest, I think “oh, I’ll just update every two weeks.” But then that comes and goes and I still haven’t updated anyone on my training. Continue reading “Training Continues”
Success Week!
Getting right down into the nitty gritty with this one. As I mentioned in my last post, I started training for a half marathon that will take place in April, I joined Weight Watchers again and I started writing my workouts in my planner before they happen. It was all for the best! I trackedContinue reading “Success Week!”
Training has commenced
Uh oh! It looks like I fell off the blogging train a month ago and didn’t know how to get back on board. Well, I haven’t figured out a schedule to sit down and write that seems conducive to family time, working, meal prepping, half marathon training and sleep. Yes, that last one is usuallyContinue reading “Training has commenced”
