On The Run
...I have a love hate relationship with this marathon. This was about 3 weeks after Chicago. I wasn't sore anymore but I wasn't expecting to do as well as I did. Considering the course of the marathon, hills and bridges, I thought I was going to do worse than I did in Chicago. However, I'm [...]
This post is way overdue and so is they New York City Marathon (that one is coming next week). A few things to share before I start going deep into how the marathon went: I ran this marathon with little training or course research. Chicago, I now know why they call you the windy city. [...]
This is my journey to the 2019 Chicago and New York City Marathon (my fourth and fifth marathons). This year I'll be fundraising for the Chicago Marathon and running for the Autism Speaks Team. You can visit my fundraising and join me in helping supporting Autism Speaks by making a donation here. This time around I want [...]
I have one more week left of base training before I start officially training for the 2019 Chicago Marathon. As of now I'm feeling much better about my running. I've lost a few pounds and my daily runs (4-5 miles) feel great. Here's a recap of what's happened between my first base recap and now: [...]
After a long running hiatus I'm finally back. I've got two big marathons coming up this year and I'm determined to set a new PR, I'm going for under 5 this time. I was 11 minutes over 5 at Boston and I'm really hoping to make it under 5 at the Chicago Marathon. I started [...]
I have been kicking things back into full gear with my running regime and it's been feeling great. It’s funny to see just how much I want to work out now… I don’t feel like myself when I skip a few days. One thing that I am in desperate need of is sports bras. My collection has [...]
After running the Boston Marathon I took a break from running. I stoped the first two weeks to let my body recover, then I got really busy with work and then I just never made the effort to put the shoelaces back on...sad, I know. I ran maybe three times a week and really just [...]
My mom and I ran the Hot Chocolate race again this year and had a great time. We opted for the 5K this year instead of the 15K. I took it easy and ran/walked the entire race with my mom. I'm not going to share too much about the race since it really hasn't changed, [...]
I am so excited to finally announce that I'm running the Chicago Marathon in 2019! I'm running with a special charity, Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks is an organization I have fundraised for in the past. As a sister of Alpha Xi Delta, we fundraised, walked, and volunteered at walks for Autism Speaks. We also volunteered [...]
This weekend I completed the Giant Race Sweep Series which meaning I ran in all four Giant Races: My favorite part about running the series was getting all the medals! Who doesn't like this part?!? In total we go 7 medals. Pretty sweet if you ask me. Along with the Series Sweep I also participated [...]
