Everyone knows the saying: no one can make changes in your life except you. Well, all of a sudden, this one little saying has become all too real to me. I am now officially into my 50′s, and working in a physical therapy type atmosphere, with everyone at least 15-20 yrs younger than myself, I [...]
Just “shuffle”ing along…..
Another pretty solid week of running was finished with a 10 mile run Saturday morning. This was my best run since coming back to running. Everything felt fairly effortless, and my pace got quicker as I clipped off every mile. You have those type of runs every couple of weeks, where you feel like you [...]
2 x 4 = 8 good runs!!!
I have had 2 consecutive 4 run weeks. I guess one of the good things about putting in all that training in the past is that your body can accomodate to the new stress pretty quickly. I ran a total of 22 miles last week, and this week I ran: 5 miles on Tuesday 7 [...]
A consistent week..finally!!!
I have not run more than 20 miles in any week for all of 2011… heck, I haven’t run more than 20 miles in one week in over 6 months.. It’s amazing how you can easily justify how other things can become a bigger priority, and exercise can become non-existent in your life.. I swore [...]
My week
This week might have been the easiest week of my training cycle. My family went to south Florida from Thursday to help my mother in law prepare for her 50th birthday bash. I was able to run without worrying about getting the kids off to school, or waking the kids up, etc. Which was nice…but [...]
I did it!!!
At least the training for the marathon, that is…. I feel so blessed and happy that I was able to get through the training for my 3rd marathon. I guess the more amazing thing is that my 1st marathon was a little less than 10 months ago, and I feel as though I have learned [...]
7 weeks left….
until the big day!! I was having a difficult time with the training when I came back from vacation, along with having a really crummy goal pace run… but since then, things have really made a turn for the better. I am back on track with my running. Below are some of the runs that [...]
Mental battle with the training
My bad for not posting for awhile. I have been away and when I came back to work this week… it has just been one thing after another. But I am somewhat back to normal and everything is all good… Praise God!!! But honestly, I would say that this has been my most disappointing week [...]
Bumps in the road
On Saturday morning, I journeyed out to finish my highest mileage week ever. It seems as though every week, I seem to break my record with re: to mileage… but this is it!!! I will not go beyond 55 miles for my program in preparation for Chicago, so I felt as though this would be [...]
Feeling the beat down
The last couple of days have been challenging for me from a running standpoint. I’m still a fairly new runner, with my first half-marathon only 18 months ago. I was averaging about 10 miles a week at that time, and for my first two attempts at a marathon, I was averaging 20-25 miles/week. It’s funny [...]
