The love of running (recap of marathon and more)

You don’t have to spend much time with me to know that I have a special place in my heart for running. I think about it almost all the time. I think about being outside. I think about the other people doing the same thing as we run past each other in opposite […]

Rest day recap of Maritime Race Weekend…

I’m sore.

Today is nothing but resting my legs, eating lots of good food and drinking a crap ton of water to help recover after the Maritime Race Weekend and earning not one but three kick ass medals.

Week 10 Marathon training (8 to go) and a more intimate paleo update…

It’s pretty standard that avid runners have a hate/love relationship with running. At least it does when in comes to this particular runner…

That is we I hate to love to run.

Some weeks will be spectacular while other weeks will suck the biggest donkey balls I can fit in my […]
