I just realized that I didn’t post my runs last week, because of the epic stomach bug. So this will be a quick two week review. For the week of Jan 12-18, I only got to run twice. Sunday: And Wednesday: Both were good runs. On the Wednesday run, I tested out a new jacket. […]

Last year I ran a really great trail race on Lake DeGray. I knew the trail very well, and placed second out of the women and thirteenth overall. I know this is so vain and please don’t think less of me for my next statement. I was not happy with the photo that was taken […]

Well, week 11 started off pretty normal. I beasted my short Monday run and mid-distance Wednesday run with no problems. Saturday, I was supposed to run 16 miles. I skipped. I did not feel like running, so I didn’t. Gasp! Week 12 started out super busy and it was my last rest week for this […]

A few weeks ago, KIND Healthy Snacks sent me a “good luck” fuel box to use while I am in this cycle of marathon training. Since I live in rural Arkansas, I have only seen KIND Healthy Snacks on a few shelves. You guys know how picky I am, so I never bothered to try […]

Yippee! Rest week! I was mentally ready for this week and it went pretty good. On Saturday, I was the final victim of the stomach virus that swept through the family. I thought I felt pretty good, but as my time tells, I was doing pretty bad 🙁 Oh well, no more running after stomach […]
