It’s been about a month since I posted on here. In fact since the Cow Town…so what is going on now you may ask? Maybe maybe not…but you wanna hear it, hear it go. Lol. Anyway I went for my first post Marathon run 3 days after. I ran 3 slow miles, I was pretty […]
The Cow Town Marathon 2013
The night before the marathon all I could do was think of what I needed for the morning. Race outfit and bib number pinned and ready, water bottles filled-1 part gatorade, 1 part water, showered, and time to sleep. Um…yeah right, I started texting, face booking, and playing wwf. Ok ok…I decided to just close […]
Taper week
I can’t believe it’s here! The Cow Town is on Sunday, 5 more days! Today is a 3 mile run. Short nice and easy. How tempting to just dash out there and run as fast as I can. BUT NOOO!!!! I have to take it easy. My plan is to run for 30 minutes. 30 […]
Hot Chocolate 15K recap
Friday night I set everything out for race day. I pinned my bib on my shirt, filled my water bottle…etc. I knew we would have to get up early and be there by 7am, (even though the paper I got at the expo said be there by 6am). Well we got out the door by […]
20 miler!!!
Throughout this training, Tiffany and I have been gearing up for our 20 mile run. The last long run before we start tapering for the marathon on the 24th. I remember I would scroll forward on my marathon training app at the beginning of this program and just stare at the upcoming 20 miles which […]
Midweek long run
After running a PR on Saturday’s half marathon, I was sore for a few days. I have 20 miles on Saturday and wanted to take it easy this week. Monday was a rest day (which I would have bumped up Thursday’s 5 miler because of my work schedule). Tuesday I had 5 scheduled and did […]
Lake Benbrook Half – Impromptu race
The best thing about marathon training is the confidence builder. Last year when the Cow Town half marathon was coming up I remember thinking, “I need to start training for this race.” I began running more and more around November and then come February I headed out to the race and finished at my regular […]
18 mile recap
Last Saturday, 1-19-2013, we had an 18 mile run scheduled. Throughout the week I was pumped. I ran my 5 mile, 9 mile, and 5 mile run then rested up for my long run. Tiffany and I agreed to meet up at 7am. Our friend Veronica met us too. She’s training for the half and […]
Snow, ice, 15 degree windchill
This week it has been really cold so far. Yesterday I ran 4 miles on the treadmill because of the bitter cold and today I woke up to thunder, snow, sleet, and ice. 5 miles on the treadmill. I am so glad I have it as an option. So many people complain about the treadmill, […]
9 miles with dogs
In order to guarantee negative splits I shall take my dogs. These two are complete opposites. Rusty makes it 2-2.5 miles tops. He quits part off the way and will just sit in the street. If he wiggles out if his collar he will just lie down and take a rest. Hawkeye runs and has […]
