Fall Blog Post Round-Up

I tend to write about fall quite a bit. Here is a round up of my past blog posts all about fall: gear, races, running tips, and more!

Happy first day of fall! Well, I guess it's happy if you like fall. I'm not totally ready for cooler weather but I don't mind September when it's still on the warmer side. I tend to write about fall alot on here so I thought I would share a round-up of 5 fall blog posts I have shared over the last few years.

September StrideBox Review

Mile by Mile Running

You know you've been really busy when your September StrideBox arrives on Wednesday (I think...maybe it was Tuesday) but you don't open it until Sunday! Usually I am tearing into that box as soon as I get it.  Another way that you it's been a rough week? When you got to grab chia seeds for your smoothie but grab the chocolate chips instead. I was thisclose to pouring them into the blender when I realized my mistake. ... Read the Post...

A Good Week to be Back to Running

spinning

I was so happy that I was able to run this week. It was one of those weeks that flies by because there just isn't enough time in the day to get everything done. So my morning workouts were my time for myself, before the craziness of the work day began. Of course, I was happy to be back to running because it's one of the ways I manage stress.  My body didn't like being stuck at work for a ridiculous number of hours ... Read the Post...

Running Routes For Everyday Runs

Mile by Mile Running

Do you run the same routes every day, or do you change things up? I am a creature of habit when it comes to running routes. I have about 5 routes that I run all the time. I did change things up much more when I was marathon training. Now, for my everyday runs, I stick to the same set of routes. However, I do like to alternate them! I don't like to run the same route more than once a week. 1. The close-to-home ... Read the Post...

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!

#running #marathontraining #longrun
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
