A Week of Tired Legs, Warm Weather, and Another Virtual Race

This was a week of tired legs, warm weather, and another virtual race. Heavier lifting left my legs tired and I was not prepared for the onset of heat and humidity. Check out the post to read more about my workouts from last week. #running #workouts #fitness

When I look back on this last week I can't help but note my tired legs and the warm weather. Therefore, it probably wasn't a great week for another virtual race! I can't complain though. I've been asking for warmer weather for months now, and my plan lately has been to focus on strength by lifting heavier (leading to tired legs.). I think the virtual race just made these things more noticeable.  Weekly Run ... Read the Post...

Runfessions of Quarantine Month 3

work from home chart

I'm calling this "Quarantine Month 3" because the last time I left the house to go to work was March 10th. Since then, the only time I've gone anywhere besides running or walking was to Grayson's 15 month pediatrician appointment on March 26th. Wow! That's pretty crazy to think about, now that we are just days away from June. I've missed a few of these lately but it's always good to hop on board with some ... Read the Post...

Why and How to Shift Your Running Focus During COVID-19

It can be challenging to stay motivated to run without any races scheduled. You may want to consider shifting your running focus during COVID-19. Here are some reasons why you may want to consider shifting your focus and some other things you can focus on to help you become a stronger runner. #running #runningtips

I think at this point most of us are realizing/accepting that our "new normal" will be here to stay for a while. As communities begin reopening we will slowly get back to doing some of the things we are used to, but they won't be the same as before. That probably goes for our running too, at least for a little while longer. Even if gyms reopen and races start being held again, will we do those things without feeling ... Read the Post...

The Double Digits of Quarantine

running essentials- aftershokz headphones

I am finding it hard to believe that we have made it to the double digits of quarantine. 10 weeks of working from home and not seeing anyone other than my immediate family. While it feels like forever, it also seems to have gone by quickly. It kind of reminds me of mile 10 in a marathon. You feel like you've been running for a long time, even though it went by quickly, but still have a long way to go. Our weather ... Read the Post...

15 mile long run workout this morning! Honestly, e 15 mile long run workout this morning! Honestly, every step of this felt challenging, so I’m pretty happy that I still hit my paces. I’m going to blame it on the humidity. WHY is it still so warm and humid when it’s almost October 😩🥵 I made the mistake of leaving my hair in a ponytail so of course it was a tangled mess by the time I was done. When will I learn? Just glad I got this done to wrap up week 9 of @richmondmarathon training! Is it still humid where you are? #run #marathontraining #richmondmarathon #longrun
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?
