Summer gets pretty busy with so much going on and so many things to get done! I am squeezing in this post just like I have been squeezing in my training runs! The training has been going well for the most part. Although, I have made a couple of decisions that have impacted my training […]
Running, Bears, and Hooligans….
What a beautiful day for a long run. I know a lot of places get days like this every day but for us Alaskans, it doesn’t happen often enough! It’s actually hard to tell from the angle of this picture, but this is coming up to the top of a pretty significant hill that is […]
My Running Week after an Awesome Mother’s Day Getaway
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. […]
