Running For a Cause

Running For a Cause

If you’ve been following along on my running journey for awhile now you may know that I’ve chosen to run in support of different charities several times over the past few years, in fact, the whole reason I began running was to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) in memory of my friend Kerry.  (You … Continue reading

Hartford Marathon Expo

Hartford Marathon Expo

Yesterday afternoon Jason and I (and Madison of course!) drove from the Cape to my moms house in Western Massachusetts, she’s only about a half an hour from Hartford so it’s perfect!

Fall Marathon Training Update!

So since I haven’t been blogging much, I’ve pretty much gone through all of my marathon training without posting much more than my short weekly training updates! So, how has this cycle of marathon training gone? MEH. Honestly, not great, but could have been worse. Unfortunately I struggled with a few things this summer: humidity, … Continue reading

Training Plan Is On The Fridge!

Training Plan Is On The Fridge!

As of this Saturday the Marine Corps Marathon is THREE MONTHS away – and I just TODAY formally sat down and wrote out my training plan. And hung it on the fridge… …better late than never I guess! I am pretty sure I am officially the WORST at following training plans.  Other than my first … Continue reading

Will brake for humidity.

We’ve been pretty lucky on Cape Cod so far that the temperature hasn’t been too brutal so far this summer (excuse me one second while I go find some wood to knock on…), but man have we had some rough humidity days! While our bodies can adapt to the heat over time, there is just … Continue reading
