I had a great long run of 9 miles on Saturday. I ran my regular route which is pretty hilly but I was pressed for time. I typically go into Anchorage and run a flatter course for the long run. Even with the hills, I still ran about a 9:40 pace (1:27:07). My training program […]
Progress with the NYRR Virtual Trainer
Like I mentioned in my last post, I won 1st place in my age group in the Heart Run. I definitely was not expecting that and didn’t even stay for the awards ceremony. But, this week I received this in the mail. So cool! 🙂 Having won an age group 1st place finish really boosts […]
The Alaska Heart Run Recap
The Alaska Heart Run was today. I haven’t done this race in years mainly because it is a 5K. Those races are sprints which I hate. I like longer distances where I can get set in my pace and just cruise to the finish. But I am doing these races anyway to get back into […]
Alaska Heart Run and NYRR Virtual Training
Training this week has been a little exhausting. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am using the NYRR Virtual Trainer for my June half-marathon (part of my journey to getting to the NYC Marathon). This week-end I am planning on running the Alaska Heart Run 5k. So, the training program has taken that […]
NYC Marathon: Baggage and Transportation Options
Yesterday was the day to choose baggage and transportation options for the NYC Marathon. I really wanted to take the bus so I was online the minute the NYRR posted the options. Choices are on a first come basis. It just seems logical to take the bus being that it is only 0.7 miles from […]
Training for Mayors Half Marathon
I have planned on doing a couple of races as preparation for my NYC Marathon training. One of those is the Mayor’s Half Marathon here in Anchorage, Ak. This week starts the training for this half. I was undecided about which training program to use. There are so many and all of them have good […]
Running and Easter Fun
It is so nice to be running in 50 degree weather!! And the snow is finally melting. Awesome day out. Yes I was able able to return to running after that week off, although my foot is still a little tender but it doesn’t really hurt during the run. I am restricting my miles for […]
Training and Injury DeJa Vu
I love running gear, all kinds! And this is my right out of the mail NYC marathon motivator…for now anyway (I have gotten over the fact that it cost more than $30.00 to ship to Alaska!) It fits so nice, perfect! Now I just have to keep running. The running has been going fairly well. […]
2016 Bear Tooth Skinny Raven Shamrock Shuffle
I do not particularly like 5K races because for me, they are just a sprint from start to finish. I am not a sprinter by no means. I prefer the longer races where I have time to settle into my pace and just run. But, I signed up for the Skinny Raven’s Shamrock Shuffle 5K […]
The Right Running Shoe, Again!
I really miss those days when I could just go out and run. Yes, those days of my youth. I could run in any kind of running shoe and never get injured. Nothing hurt. Now, with every pair of shoes I buy, I need to know the return policy because it is likely they will […]
