Finally a chance to catch my breathe and post about the Carlsbad Marathon! I did it. I ran it. I finished. 4 hours and 42 min. Under 5 hours. PR’d my 10K and Half marathon splits. So I not only did it I rocked it for me! I still can’t believe it. All the week [...]
Raising a runner
December 16, 2012 by 4 Comments
We have been “training” every Thursday night. MB and I do our girl talk runs and sometimes tb joins us…soccer has definitely increased her endurance. So this morning we got up at 6:30 and put on our ladybug uniforms and headed to fountain hills for the iron girl 5k. We had so many laughs and [...]

Well I didn’t quite make the 21 miles I was short by 3 and ended up logging 18.2. It was my mid-week runs…I had a couple meetings come up that cramped my lunch time runs and so I just got in 3 one day and the other had to do a 5 before work but [...]

I am so falling off on my blogging other than the weekly training updates….life is good. We finally had a down weekend and I can see the counter again in my office which feels good. This week we had the book fair at school so I spent a night selling subway sandwiches in 3 inch [...]
Weekend in review- race update
January 16, 2012 by 2 Comments
35,000 ft with sore muscles and my sweetheart sound asleep next to me. Dreading the enormous about of chores waiting for me at home when I just want to crawl into my bed and snuggle up and sleep. But that is part of the toll of a good weekend. A good friend came in to [...]
My 2012 Race Schedule
January 4, 2012 by 2 Comments
I am attempting another year of races – both half marathons, triathlons, and some fun 5 & 10Ks. Not sure how this year will turn out, now that I am back to working outside of the house versus working from home it is proving to be much harder to find daylight hours to get my [...]
Turkey trot
November 25, 2011 by 2 Comments
We traveled to Florida for Thanksgiving this year. I decided it would be fun to do a turkey trot and battle those pumpkin pie calories. We decided to make it a family deal. I can’t even begin to describe how much this meant to me. Getting past the early wake up (6am EST or 4am [...]
a year ago

About a year ago I started training for my first half marathon. A long run for me was 3 miles. That would wear me out. That was a year ago. This weekend I went for a group bike ride with some ladies in my neighborhood. My first group ride- it was a lot of fun [...]
Gotta get back in the groove
September 13, 2011 by Leave a Comment
The training plan is off track and I don’t like it. First I was sick. Then there was the GS camping weekend. Then I was still sick and exhausted. Then TB had to travel. The end result is I haven’t been able to run in over a week. It is driving me nuts. I am [...]
The heat needs to go
September 5, 2011 by 2 Comments
I am so over this heat. My training plan is getting up in the miles. 9 miles was on the agenda for today. I was ready for the 9 miles, but not for the heat. It’s time for the heat to go. I just can’t do these long runs in 105+ temps. The first 5 [...]
