After 16 weeks of training, the Richmond Marathon has now come and gone. I went into this training cycle unsure of how it would go. My husband and I were both training for this race and have been busier than ever. But we managed to make it happen and both completed 26.2 miles on November 15th!

I completed my 8th marathon, the NCR Marathon, on the NCR trail in northern Maryland which is considered a small, local race. While training for this I definitely had my doubts along the way. This was my first marathon after having my second baby in July 2023 and life has been a little crazy this year! In the end it all worked out and I met my goal, and I am so glad I ran this race. I'm hoping to share my experience for anyone else who is having their doubts about running a marathon or is considering running this race.

The past two weeks were all about recovery from my marathon. Well, they should have been. However, it wasn't all just about race recovery. I took the first week off from running (and all exercise) and also fought off a stomach bug. The second week I started easing back into some light workouts. Let's take a look at how these marathon race recovery weeks played out.

On October 2nd I ran the Potomac River Run Marathon, which was my 7th marathon and my first in 6 years. It was also my first live race in 2 years. In this recap I’m sharing all the details of my race, including why it was a particularly challenging one for me.

I'm writing this a few days before my marathon. During this last week of the taper I've had a lot of thoughts about my marathon training cycle. I wanted to take some time to write down all my thoughts before my race even happens. Because no matter what happens this weekend, I want to appreciate what went well and learn from the things I could have done better. I know I won't be able to have a race recap up the week after the race, so I'm planning to post this first and then a recap will come next week.
