Trying New Things And The Recipe For Success

Mile by Mile Running

As you may or may not know by now, I am definitely a creature of habit. I get comfortable in my routine, and have difficulty changing things up. While it's good to be willing to try new things and be flexible, I think there is also something to be said for having a routine. I feel the most calm and in control when I know what to expect and have a clear plan. Also, I function my best when I am doing things that I am ... Read the Post...

Grown-up Weekends Aren’t Much Fun

rob

For some reason when I sat down to write about my weekend I got total writer's block. Maybe that's because not a whole lot happened? Or possibly because I am slightly sucked into the episode of Parenthood that I am watching (thank you all for encouraging me to keep watching it- it's definitely gotten better!) So anyway, let's talk about the weekend, exciting or not.  Lately our weekends have been pretty busy with ... Read the Post...

Meal Planning And Prep Week of March 8th

meal prep

Last weekend was a busy one but I still made sure to get my meal planning and prep done, especially because I knew I would be busy during the week too! I did half of my prep on Saturday and half on Sunday to make the most of any free time I had. I also started with prepping lunches and saved things like baking for last in case I ran out of time.  Meal Planning And Prep Week of March 8th  Sunday: Crunchy ... Read the Post...

Five Things About My Day

breakfast

When I saw that the topic for the Friday Five this week was "Five Things About My Day", I started laughing at the irony as I was trying to put this together on Thursday. It was quite a day! Unfortunately I can't share too many details about my day at work...partly because of confidentiality and partly because it would just be inappropriate. So at the end of a pretty crazy week, let's see what I can come up with! 1. ... Read the Post...

Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 mile MP/1 mile easy. I took a few hours of PTO in the morning to do this on the trail because I knew wouldn’t be able to do it this weekend. This was my first time on the trail since my marathon last November. It was nice to be back there and the perfect place to do this kind of long run. It was the kind of run where you start thinking “ok cool I just did a tough MP workout” but then you remember you actually need to run 26 miles in a row at that pace. Luckily there’s still 9 more weeks of training…although that doesn’t really sound like that much!
41 miles for the week and got in 2 strength sessions. Taking it easy this weekend other than chasing the kids around for all their activities! #run #marathontraining #longrun
It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It is a little frustrating to have to plan more time for an easy run. But it’s definitely worth it to recover quicker and feel better on workout days! #run #marathongtraining #easyrun
You know marathon training is starting to get real You know marathon training is starting to get real when you start losing track of what training week it is. I had to check my calendar but this was week 6, so 10 weeks to go! 

I ran the Charles Street 12 last weekend so this week was all about easy miles and recovering from the race. That went well until I went and ran all the hills yesterday followed by walking around a maze and fun park for 5 hours. I got in some strength and mobility this morning and now I’m back to focusing on recovery!

If you’re training for a race how many weeks do you have left?

15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 9 15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 91% humidity 🫠 Pretty sure that was harder than my race last weekend, but got it done. Now off to my second workout of the day- taking the kids to an outdoor fun park. RIP to my legs. 
What are you up to this weekend?
