My sweet boys and the marathon
I haven’t posted anything in two weeks and that’s because I haven’t been running much at all the past few weeks. I’ve been busy dealing with a sick kitty and with that comes lots of stress and heartache. The stress and heartache took a toll on me and running was…

I’m back, baby!!
So, after two abysmal weeks of marathon training, I had a pretty sweet comeback this week. My long run was difficult, but doable and while it was ‘only’ 10 miles, I was having lots of stomach issues and didn’t eat nearly enough beforehand, so the fact that I finished was…

Of course
Of course I published a ‘woe is me, I suck at running’ blog post, only to turn around a few minutes later and have a pretty amazing run. I’m still dealing with a lot of self-doubt about this whole running ‘thing’ right now and part of it is my weird…

Slump n’ dump
I feel like such a jackass complaining about anything in my life right now because I have friends going through some really hard stuff right now. My issues pale in comparison. That being said, I’m officially in a running slump. You’ll notice week 9 is conspicuously absent. Yes, I ran.…

Chicago Marathon week 8
So, not much to write this week because I was out of commission. I was pretty sore Monday and Tuesday and decided to take both days off (I pushed way too hard on the treadmill and totally ignored the ‘go slow’ cardinal rule of long runs.) Wednesday rolled around and…

Chicago Marathon week 7
Oh my word y’all! Time is flying! I’m now 10 weeks and 6 days out from the marathon (um…didn’t I just start training a few weeks ago?!) This was an interesting week running-wise, but it ended in the best way possible. This week I noticed how tired my body felt.…

Chicago Marathon training week 6 recap
Hey, y’all. Just popping in for a quick training recap. I finally got my mileage up, despite having a crappy week all around last week. My long run/weekend run was not ideal at all, but I adjusted as best I could given the wildfires/weather. I also finally broke down and…

I’m done
Through all the years I’ve been running, I’ve tried to package myself fit into the neat and tidy ‘runners box’ when it comes to training for events. You know, the one that has you get up at the crack of dawn to fit long runs in. The one that says…

Title? Ain’t nobody got time for a title!
If I had to rate today on a scale of 1-10, I’d give it a 5.7342, which is about five times higher than I’d give any other day this week. Nothing significant or great happened today, but it’s just been less of a shitty day. I finally whittled my pile…

Whine Wednesday
Where to start? I have no idea. Be prepared for a choppy post. OMFG. Is it seriously only Wednesday? This has been a rough week for me so far. I’m always ready for Friday, but I’m REALLY ready for it this week. Unfortunately, I have 2 more days before I…
