I started writing weekly recaps in the beginning of the year and after a grand recap of 1, I missed last week. To be honest, there wasn’t anything much to write about – I was slowly limping back to some painful miles after almost 2 weeks off to sickness. I was back to normal by wednesday/thursday, but was still very much overwhelmed at having lost the base I was trying to build. So instead of jumping right back in, I…
This week is runDisney’s Dopey Challenge week and Goofy and the Marathon and everything in between. I’m very very sad that I won’t be joining the boys for the fun filled weekend (maybe I shouldn’t feel as bad as I’m still down sick). Instead, I am focusing this week’s post on tips to help through the week. Dopey, Goofy and Disney Marathon Weekend Tips #runchat #runDisney Click To Tweet Expo Get to the expo early to avoid crowds. This one is a no…
I’ve decided to get back into the habit of doing weekly training recaps. It’s been a while since I did them, especially as my week would go – Swim, Bike, Run – all done and green on training peaks. Now that I’m on my own and in charge of my own training, it is a good reflection on where I am and where I hope to be on April 24th. Monday – After an awesome week at Nashville Opryland with…
It’s virtual coffee date time with the first Saturday of month crew! If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that … I’m a bit scattered at not having a goal for the second half of 2016. For the past 18 months (April 2014 since I signed up for Dopey Challenge), I’ve been so goal driven that I don’t know what I’m looking at after April 24th London Marathon. I would like to go back to Augusta 2.0 in some form…
December and January are times for looking back and setting goals and resolutions. I love reading how the past year has treated people. And what they plan to tackle in the next year. 2016 is a big year for me personally – I turn 4.0 in September and it’s also our 15th anniversary in October. Races and Places March 5th – Chattahoochee 10k March 20th – Georgia Publix Half Marathon April 24th – London Marathon. The BIG one for the…
Just 2 days ago, I FINALLY cut off my participation bracelet from Ironman 70.3 Augusta. A lot of mentors cheered me on that I was finally beginning to look ahead. And I guess with it being just 10 more days to a new year, it was about time. Looking ahead, moving onward. Although I still want to take a moment to recap looking back at 2015. Simply put, 2015 was an amazing year for me. I set myself challenges that…
This was a post that is months overdue (in my defense, I haven’t blogged much since the race). In spite of the warm glow of post-race Augusta, I can no longer deny it. Since the end of the #LongRoadToAugusta, I’ve been on a break with my coach and I’m starting to wonder if this is the end of the road for us … And whether it is now or later, saying goodbye to your coach is never easy. Mike was…
