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 […]
More Family Time and the Skinny Raven Half Marathon
Okay, the wedding and all the excitement is over. But the running continues….:) I had planned on doing the Skinny Raven Half Marathon that was scheduled on the day after Matt and Sonja’s wedding. Since Jose was here visiting, he decided to run the half with me! He runs regularly, but he had not been […]
Matt and Sonja’s Wedding
Weddings are always so much fun and so exciting! And when it is your daughter, it is even more special. When we got to the wedding, Sonja was just adding some finishing touches. We didn’t see Matt or the groomsmen until the actual ceremony started. And Sonja didn’t seem all that concerned that the flowers […]
Family Visits and Wedding Planning
Wow, it has been a really super busy month!! I am still getting my marathon training in for the most part, but I did skip a day or two these last couple of weeks. It actually worked out because it gave me a little more rest time before the Skinny Raven Half Marathon that I […]
Week 6 of the NYRR Virtual Trainer Completed
I love track work-outs! And finally, I started speed workouts with this week’s marathon training schedule. The Virtual Trainer begins these workouts fairly light and then builds on them as the weeks go on. This week was interval training that started with a 1.5 mile warm-up at about a 9:30 pace followed by 800s X […]
