I have been taking some time to work on my half marathon training plan the past couple of weeks, and I think I've decided what I'm going to do. I came to my decision in a rather unexpected way. Towards the end of December one of my running friends asked if I was going to … Continue reading Training Plans and Running Clubs
Becoming a Marathoner in 2019
I had a bucket list wish to complete a marathon in my lifetime-specifically by the time I am 40. So a couple weeks ago I registered for the Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Marathon. I'm feeling very excited.

August is Here
It is now August and I must admit there hasn't been anything particularly spectacular that has happened on the running front lately. I haven't hit any PRs, nor have I ran any timed race events since June. Last week we went on vacation and I only ran three times the entire week. Don't get me … Continue reading August is Here
