Beginning to think sleep is overrated. That is of course until day three when everything seems to come crashing down. haha… I have found that is probably my body’s breaking point, after day three of little to no good sleep. I can count on at least one night of good sleep after day three. ThankContinue reading “Marathon training day 51… Can’t sleep”

Well, it’s been about two entire weeks since my last post. Although I haven’t made time to write, I have been keeping up with my training. There were some changes throughout these two weeks that have been challenging training wise and have given me a lot to think about and work on. I’m learning aContinue reading “Marathon Training Day 37 – defeated but not surrendered…”
Marathon training day 23… more than running
It’s been about 5 days since my last post, and so much has happened. I’ve kept with my training plan as best I could, except for yesterday when I skipped my run. The pressures that had been building up in my mind finally caught up to to me physically. I was exhausted, about to burnoutContinue reading “Marathon training day 23… more than running”
Marathon training day 16…
Today is my #4’s 18th Birthday! We celebrated by getting braces. $$$… Yay me! The day started great, nice and early. I decided to add more miles regardless of what my training app says, so I just ran until it felt right to stop. Today that was for about an hour and five minutes. IContinue reading “Marathon training day 16…”

Marathon training day 11…
I had to capture the beautiful sunrise on this morning’s run. Today, I finished my planned 5.5 mile run in about 1hr 20 min.

Marathon training day 10…
Today was hard! I missed writing about my run yesterday because I was busy drowning my sorrows in a 3+hour bubble bath and a bottle of wine! Ugh! I cried heartbreak and pain that I must have been holding in for a very long time because the pain was coming from deep inside my chest,Continue reading “Marathon training day 10…”
Marathon training day 8…
3 mile base run in 39 min. Form is better, and this shorter run is getting easier! My goal though is to get it done in 30 min. I have about 88 miles planned for this month, and although it sounds like a lot, it’s really about half of where I need to be. IContinue reading “Marathon training day 8…”
MT day 7 – Rest Day
I have designated Saturday and Monday as my rest days, so no running today. Today I decided to strap on my new kicks and go for an hour walk instead. Prayer and meditation would have to take place during my walk because I was a little pressed for time this morning, and I was eagerContinue reading “MT day 7 – Rest Day”
Marathon training day 6…
Long run planned for today. 7 miles DONE! This was a good opportunity to see where I am as far as pace for long distance. This run was at an average pace of 14:25 with a run:walk ratio of 5:1. I felt GOOD! I was also excited because I was sporting my new running shoesContinue reading “Marathon training day 6…”
