10 Minute Around the World Stability Ball Workout

10 Minute Stability Ball Workout

This morning I couldn’t sleep past 4:30 am (on a Saturday!). I am usually an early riser, but this was a little crazy even for me. I might just be excited to see all my college friends at a wedding tonight, or maybe I wanted to make sure I got my run in before the snow started. Anyway, I did the usual coffee, bagel, banana routine and got ready to run. I came up with this stability ball workout that I thought I would ... Read the Post...

Jingle Bell 5k Race Recap

Mile by Mile Running

On Saturday Rob and I ran our last race of 2013: The Jingle Bell 5k run/walk for Arthritis. The course took place in Ellicott City, around Centennial Park. Jingle Bell 5k Race Recap We got there by 8:20, even though the start wasn’t until 9:30, because we didn’t know how parking would be. We got one of the last parking spots in the lot, but there was also plenty of street parking available. It was COLD walking ... Read the Post...

Core Focused Total Body Workout

I finally made it back to the gym this week after a few months away. There were lots of “excuses” including all the running for upcoming races and the broken finger. But now that the fall running season is pretty much over, I decided it was time to cut back on my mileage and get back to cross training and strength workouts. The elliptical bores me but I managed to stay on there for 30 minutes before completing the core ... Read the Post...

How To Recover Properly From a Half-Marathon

Have you considered how to recovery properly from a half-marathon? This is so important after running a hard race. Here are some tips to make sure you recover well so you can continue running! After running 13.1 miles on a more hilly course than I am used to, my body was feeling pretty sore. I was walking a little funny on Saturday and could feel tightness in my hips and hamstrings.

Just over here taking a mid-run break to wring out Just over here taking a mid-run break to wring out my shirt and hair 🥵 Seriously the amount of sweat on this run was unbelievable thanks to a dew point of 75. Have I just blocked out summers like this or is this one worse than usual? Honestly though I’d still take this over the cold!

Are you over the heat yet this year? I think it’s the humidity that’s really getting to me!

Ignorance is bliss, sometimes. (Until you’re dyi Ignorance is bliss, sometimes. (Until you’re dying 5 minutes into your run wondering when it will finally cool off again). But really, this time of year I feel like there’s no point in checking the weather. It’s either hot or really hot. #summerrunning
Another cloudy day at the beach. At least it isn’t raining and windy today. I felt the 95% humidity on this fartlek run (maybe last night’s wine and bad sleep too) so it was a tough one. But workouts are for building fitness, not proving fitness, right?! How do you move on past a hard workout?

Just a few random thoughts (and videos) from Satur Just a few random thoughts (and videos) from Saturday’s race…even though this wasn’t a goal race there are always lessons learned!

First off, my daughter woke up  around 1 am the night before the race. She almost always sleeps through the night now, but out of the 2 races I did this spring she woke up before both of them. It’s like she knows I am going to leave somehow. At least this time she went back to sleep pretty quickly and so did I!

Parking was easy, but it was a long walk to and from my car! (In past years I had parked closer but there was a ton of traffic coming and going)

The start line was so crowded that I couldn’t line up in the appropriate pace area. Many runners had the same challenge so the first few miles were chaotic with some people around me walking and others trying to run faster and weaving. I was just trying not to crash into anyone.

I didn’t bring my own water and wish I did! I needed it due to the weather and the water stops really slowed me down.

My watch never lined up with the mile markers. For some miles it was far ahead and others it was far behind. But overall my watch read 10.09 so it wasn’t too far off overall. 

Hard iced tea is a nice post race option. They also had hard lemonade and Heineken. (A few sips was good enough for me though)

Spring races < Fall races!

What’s the best post run beverage you’ve gotten after a race?
