    Notes from the trail 10.01 (Sun Never Sets Edition)

    My running game has kinda been on autopilot ever since my month of running 150 miles and the marathon earlier this year. However, at my work we had the 9th edition of our “Sun Never Sets” 5k relay, so you know I had to lace up the trainers for that.

    150 miles

    One of my goals for May was to switch up my typical running flow and run shorter distances more frequently. I ended up running 5 miles a day for a total of 150 miles for the month, and my daughter was with me for the last one tonight.

    Notes from the trail 05.16

    I’m trying to run 5 miles a day and crest 150 miles in the month of May. I’m at the midpoint, and it’s going ok, but the weather looks like it might crank up the difficulty setting to legendary. Today we had a 96 degree heat index and it’s just getting started.

    Notes from the trail 04.12

    After running a marathon, moving house, spring break, and going down with some evil sickness, I’ve been a bit slow to get back up to my usual running cadence and distance this month, but I’m back on it this weekend.

    Running my first marathon

    One of my goals for this year was to run a full marathon. I’ve run a half-marathon a half-dozen times in the past, but a full one always felt out of reach. In the past year, all that changed, and I finally did it!

    Notes from the trail 03.11

    My training plan for the upcoming marathon (this Sunday!) was rudely interrupted by an obligatory work trip to Cancún. I know right? The nerve! I dealt with it because I love travel running. There are worse places to have a few tune up runs. 😉
