The training and building up to the New York City Marathon was very stressful in so many ways. I have not run a marathon in over 10 years and this was quite the challenge for a return to marathoning. I was a bit disappointed in my performance that day, and I know I can run […]
Winter Running and Winter Fun!
Baby, it’s cold outside!🎤 Winter running can be fun, but if the temperatures drop too low for me, it can become very miserable. We are having a pretty chilly winter here in Alaska with most recent temps below zero to teens. But, as long as the temps remain above 15 and without a major wind […]
The New York City Marathon Experience Continues…..
Our New York Marathon experience continued the following day. Our plan was to eat a light breakfast, check out the finisher’s gear at the pavilion, and have lunch at the Tavern on The Green. Having seen the Pavillion online, I was very excited to go there in person. We had waited in that long line […]
I did It! I Completed the NYC Marathon!
I did it! I completed the New York City Marathon! This has been such a long, incredible journey. So much excitement along the way along with some disappointments as well. It took me 4 years to get into the Marathon via lottery. I struggled with getting my training in along the way due […]
Week 17 of the NYC Marathon: The Last Long Run
Finally, I received my corral and wave start information. I’m not too thrilled about being in the Orange Wave because I have heard that it is a little steeper coming off the bridge, and it has multiple turns. In a way, I wish I did not know this information because then it wouldn’t even matter. […]

Back on Track
I spent Labor day weekend with the grandkids and decided to give the injury a few more days to heal. Miss Madelyn loves playing dress-up in her wedding dress – so cute! Tylor hung out in the garage with Scott most of the time doing man stuff ha ha And a random photo – Demi […]
Running Injury! Less Than 9 weeks Until The NYC Marathon
The week after the half marathon, I continued with the NYRR Virtual marathon training program. I did my regular runs of 4-5 miles , a hill repeat work-out on about a 4% incline and of course the long run of 16 miles. Being concerned that the NYC Marathon is a hilly route, I decided to […]

Since Jose was here visiting, he decided to run the half with me! He runs regularly, but he had not been […]
