So I was a little worried going into this week of training. The weekdays are so hard to fit everything in with work and mommy duties. I have been questioning whether or not I will be able to fit in an increase in mileage plus the addition of speedwork and hill training. So far so Continue Reading »
So last week was the last week of my recovery plan post marathon. There’s actually another week of recovery, but this week is the start of my fall marathon training. So I threw caution to the wind and wrapped up my recovery a bit early. I’m such a rebel. So I’ve been noticing on Continue Reading »
So this week I started Week 1 of Hal Higdon’s marathon recovery program. This basically meant I started a modified schedule of running again. Monday: 4 miles outside. Tuesday: Off. Preschool trip to a local amusement park. In the RAIN. Super awesome. Wednesday: 3 morning treadmill miles. Thursday: 5 treadmill miles after work. It was Continue Reading »

I am definitely not feeling 100% after the race, so I am REALLY enjoying my peace and quiet. So Lori and I Continue Reading »
