Finally!! Snow!! We haven’t had a real snowfall in quite some time. So exciting! Except for the fact that it took hours to dig ourselves out of this and to get the driveway plowed. So beautiful. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for somewhat cooler temperatures so the snow hangs around for a bit. At […]
Training on Hold: Enjoying the Holidays
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. […]
WeeK 16 Completed: Hard and Easy Training Days
The training program that I have been using has worked so well for me. The workouts, at times, seemed too easy, yet I was getting stronger. It was perfect. Then an injury set me back a couple of weeks and the training had to be adjusted. But, as I mentioned in my last post, I […]
NYC Marathon: Trust The Training
It has truly been a busy month and fall is finally here! Which means…that fall marathons are coming up and that includes my dream come true marathon – NYC! But the most exciting news is that I am back to running. The NYRR VT has decreased my weekly miles due to my recent injury, […]
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 […]
