Two blog posts in one day – I’m not sure what anyone did to deserve this, haha. Also, I don’t understand how people blog every day. It’s only my first day and I’m exhausted. But, again, I’m trying to stay consistent with my training and I think the accountability of…

Holy cats! Today is the first official day of Chicago Marathon training. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. The next 125 days are going to be something else, that’s for sure. I still need to get my race recap from San Diego up – I hit my B…

Y’all, I’m having a Monday. It’s like, the Monday of all Mondays that ever Monday’d. Most of it is first-world stuff. Most of it will be forgotten or resolved in a week (or two.)  But for now, I’m sitting at my computer with tears spilling out, trying (unsuccessfully) to console…

Whew! I made it through another half marathon. I still feel like I have an endorphin high. Even though training fell apart and I’m not where I want to be, I really needed the boost. My last few half marathons were awful and I feel like this was my redemption…

Three days, you guys. Three days. In less than 72 hours I will be crossing the starting line of another half marathon. The reality is setting in and I honestly have NO clue how this is actually going to go. I’ve been ‘training’ for this race since February and I…

What is it about December? This should be the happiest, most magical month of the year, but I always find it to be depressing. There’s the excitement of the holidays, followed by a period of self-reflection that always leaves me feeling down. Usually the depressing part finds its way in…

Apparently, the best way to become a writer/blogger is to, well, you know, write and post shit to your blog. Novel concept, I know. It’s been so long since I’ve last posted, I actually forgot that I posted somewhat recently. At the time, I was super pumped to start training…

Training for the LA Rock n’ Roll half has officially started and I’m pumped!! I’ve been riding the running struggle bus since last fall and now that a new training cycle is here, I feel like I have a clean slate. It doesn’t matter what happened in San Diego last…

**forgot to hit ‘publish’ a few days ago…oops After taking the better part of three weeks off to allow my calves to heal, I figured it was time to give this whole ‘running thing’ another go. I’m cranky AF and no longer in any physical pain, so it’s time. I…
