15 was the plan and I didn’t quite make it (I did 14.30 miles) due to several factors but I’m OK with that. I broke 13.1 and that is what I was most concerned about. The first 4 miles felt easy except that I really really had to pee so I was very distracted lookingContinue reading “Almost 15… I’ll take it!”

Hope
After several days of really questioning if I am going to be able to do this thing or not, yesterday definitely gave me some hope. First was an 8 miler that for the most part felt "easy," a funny thing, I made an effort to go out slower than usual and I also made aContinue reading “Hope”
Wait and See
It seems I’m doing more thinking about running then actual running these days- part of it is that runs that were once considered “long” are now the shorter ones (like yesterdays 7 miles)- but the other part of it is this injury and trying to figure out how I’m going to reach this goal ofContinue reading “Wait and See”
The Long and Short of it…
The Long is the run I intend to do tomorrow- 15 miles… last long run? 2 weeks ago. The short of it? Life has been beyond crazy, hectic, insane, off the charts, to be able to sleep, eat and do other things (such as training for a marathon perhaps?!), never mind blog- so IContinue reading “The Long and Short of it…”
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly…
First the good, I got outdoors for 5 miles today, it was relaxed and easy, no real pain in my knees until about mile 5, just much tightness in my hips and knees and my right foot is sore-ish but I was able to run the whole thing which made me happy. I’m not evenContinue reading “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly…”
Good Intentions
After much talking to myself, pumping myself up for 13 miles, I got out there and was surprised to find it all going very, very smoothly. There were many things I was worried about and baby boy #6’s 2 horrible nights in a row (I think I slept 4 hours last night and about theContinue reading “Good Intentions”
Where I’m at.
It was a bit of an odd week after the runners high had finally worn off after last weeks 1/2 marathon. I could barely walk, let alone run for 3 days after race day. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were all write offs in terms of training, although I did have a nice swim on the WednesdayContinue reading “Where I’m at.”
Post race stuff
My official chip time was 2:19:40 I got scared when I looked myself up on the website as the first number said 2:21:38- but that was the clock time and I started way back- such things mean a huge deal!! So I was happy to see my chip time listed. Things that bugged me… MyContinue reading “Post race stuff”
13.1 miles down 13.1 to go…
It’s funny, if I had been writing this yesterday, after the race , you would be able to get a better idea of the excitement and thrill I felt finishing that race- now, the day after, after I have come down from my runners high- I still feel good about it but I have hadContinue reading “13.1 miles down 13.1 to go…”
Que sera sera…
I am in a bit of denial that the race is tomorrow. When I am out there running I can grasp the concept of running 13.1 miles but when I am just going about my day to day business it doesn’t quite sink in that I am running a Half marathon… TOMORROW! I did 2Continue reading “Que sera sera…”
