Heading to Flordia today for a weeks vacation. We are both super excited to be going on our first vacation together. Jesi unfortunately had to go into the office this morning, while I had some work to do I could do it from home. I did a few domestic things and finished the last load … Continue reading Gotta Run Before We Go
Running On Vacation
Jesi and I have ventured to Florida to visit family and Mickey Mouse. I traveled in my Brooks Pure Flow but packed my Hoka's since I've really been enjoying the feel of them. I got up this morning to a nice balmy 78 degrees with 92% humidity. But undeterred I struck out for what turned … Continue reading Running On Vacation

My Marathon Playlist
This the playlist I have created that has helped push me through my training. Sometimes I used landmarks as points to run to when I get tired and sometimes I use songs. I found many of these after listening to motivational speeches on YouTube. This is the mix that I have found incredibly helpful for … Continue reading My Marathon Playlist
Eleven Miles And A Tumble
Eleven miles in a little over two hours. It felt amazing. I felt fast and smooth. It was as if I was gliding. The Hoka's have been a true gift on long runs helping my joints and my legs remain fresh for longer. I took a bit of a different route to get to the … Continue reading Eleven Miles And A Tumble
Rest Day and Achieving the Impossible
I felt pretty good this morning. A little dull ache in my foot but nothing that seemed horrible or worrisome. However, since my training plan said rest day I decided to stick with the rest day so that my 11 miles tomorrow would be smooth and as successful as the last few long runs. Even … Continue reading Rest Day and Achieving the Impossible
Back In The Saddle…Well Running Shoes
Four miles done last night...and it felt great. I ran with Regina and Becky and had a blast. Pace wise I never quite match my solo time especially since Becky likes stopping to pet the various local dogs, but the camaraderie with them always makes the run enjoyable. I had some slight twinges in my … Continue reading Back In The Saddle…Well Running Shoes
When You Don’t Know What To Do….The Best Thing To Do Is Nothing
Took yet another day. But alas it will be ok! I think. I hope. Yes, it will.
Took An Extra Day
While I took the scheduled rest day on Monday expected to return to running on Tuesday, I ended up taking an extra rest day. I found that despite taking Advil, wearing a brace and being mindful about my ankle my foot still felt not 100%. Rather than push it, I took Tuesday off from running. … Continue reading Took An Extra Day
The Changes to the Marine Corps Marathon
At the beginning of the week the Marine Corps Marathon made an announcement that they would be making an announcement. They were vague in the reason for the announcement other than to say it related to the race time, course and transportation. I laughed and said it's a race, what else could they be discussing. … Continue reading The Changes to the Marine Corps Marathon
