Double Digits and Chafing

For the first time in 2017, I complete a double digit run. Unfortunately it was super humid and I ended up with lots of chafing! Otherwise, it was a great week of workouts. Click post to read more.

Isn't it supposed to be October? Where did the nice fall temps from last weekend go? This weekend I managed to run my first double-digit run of the year. The only bad thing about it was the chafing. I was not prepared for the humidity even though I knew it would be in the 60s. While annoying (and painful) if that was the only bad thing about my first long run in forever, I'll take it.    Monday: 4 mile ... Read the Post...

How I Schedule my Weekly Workouts

long run

It's been two years since I trained for a race, but I still follow a pretty consistent workout schedule. There are a few factors that I consider each week as I am planning out my weekly workouts. I don't usually write out a workout plan, but I go into the week with an idea of what I want to do and then just go from there. Usually the most important thing is deciding which days I will run. Then I can spread them out ... Read the Post...

Month in Review: September 2017

hamstring curls

September was my first full month back to running after 6 weeks off over the summer. I took a little break from doing "month in review" posts and instead did one post talking about my summer in general. In June I wrote a monthly recap that was pretty optimistic. I had just gotten my orthotics and was feeling good. Everything went downhill pretty quickly after that, and here I am again, starting over once ... Read the Post...

End of Summer Running {Weekly Wrap}

dc run

This was another busy and tiring week, but at least my workouts were pretty good. It's so strange how it is technically fall but still feels like summer. I thought I had missed out on some of the worst of summer running weather but the heat seems to be sticking around at least for now.  This weekend I was in DC for my sister's bachelorette party and got in a great run along some of the trails near the Potomac (I'm ...

Spent almost every step of this 21 mile run questi Spent almost every step of this 21 mile run questioning my life choices. Like waking up at 3am to run 12 miles on the treadmill and 9 outside. This was a crazy week with a kid that wasn’t sleeping great and fighting a cold and super busy days at work. My legs were just tired the whole time today. It was really hard to run outside after so many treadmill miles and my pace was much slower than inside.

I reminded myself that this is peak week. It’s supposed to feel hard. If it was easy everyone would do it. I ran 53 miles this week and am not injured. The weather is perfect. I’ve gotten in every planned run of this training cycle so far.  I get to do this. 

And I managed to finish strong with my last 3 miles the fastest of the (outside) run. I owe that to a solid fueling plan and taking all my gels even when I really didn’t want to.

3 weeks to go until race day!

Yesterday’s long run was followed immediately by Yesterday’s long run was followed immediately by back to back kid activities, so there was no time to post about it. (I ate breakfast in the car and lunch at soccer practice- it was that kind of a day.) I was kind of nervous going in to this run, especially now that I’m getting down to last few key long runs. I had 16 miles with 4 x 2 miles on the plan, which sounded manageable but also challenging. The weather was perfect and I hit all my paces. At the end I got a little confused- thinking I was at 15 miles but I was actually at 14 🙃 Got home and realized I chafed really bad. Another long run down, and another week closer to race day.

Do you ever psych yourself out before long runs?

1 month to go! Who else is just trying to survive 1 month to go! Who else is just trying to survive the peak weeks of marathon training? #running #marathontraining
You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. J You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. Just living that 3:30am alarm clock life and chugging gels like it’s my job. #longrun #marathontraining #lifeofashowgirl
