Happy Wednesday to my followers and readers! To me it felt like a Monday... it was my first day back to work after a 5 day vacation. The nice thing is that even though it felt like a Monday, it really is Wednesday, and the weekend will be here again before I know it. Anyway, … Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday: Roadtrip to Shamrock Edition!
I know February is the shortest month, but it really seemed to fly by this year. It was another month of extreme winter weather here in Michigan, but fortunately my friends and I found a safe and clear outdoor path to run many of our miles! We still recorded a lot of indoor miles, but … Continue reading February 2019 Training Recap
Wow guys. I must be busy... since I just noticed that I never wrote a recap for the Winterlaufe 8k that happened at the beginning of the month! Geez. Winter finally decided to hit Michigan hard towards the end of January and into February. It seems like every week we have a new crazy winter … Continue reading Race Recap: Winterlaufe 8k 2019
Hey guys! It's been a while. I made some changes to my social media in the new year and I'm still adapting to it. If you follow my Instagram (@rd_ontherun) you see all of my workout updates. I'll figure out my blog, I promise! January was an interesting month. We saw some brutal weather here … Continue reading January 2019 Training Recap
If you read my post about My Ideas, Goals and Dreams for 2019, you may have caught that one of my goals for this year was to find myself as a dietitian. When I worked as an eating disorder dietitian, I read and thoroughly enjoyed the book Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD and … Continue reading My Intuitive Eating Journey: Hitting Diet Bottom
I started 2018 with a few running goals in mind. I wanted to run my third marathon and I wanted to run it in less than 6 hours. I wanted to run/walk 1000 miles total in the year, which was a pretty lofty goal considering I had done just 835 in 2017. I wanted to … Continue reading My 2018 Running Year in Review
Every year I set goals for myself... and although I find that putting it in writing makes a goal real, sometimes I'm too hard on myself when I don't hit them. So instead I'm going to write down ideas... some may really be goals, maybe they're just wishes and dreams... for what may come in … Continue reading My Ideas, Goals and Dreams for 2019
In 2018, I completed my 4th year of running a race every month. My total races reached 76. In 2019, although I do want to keep my tradition going, I will be trying to keep my racing to a minimum, as I will be doing some bigger "vacation races" and have more specific goals that … Continue reading Ready to Go 2019
I had a lot of goals at the beginning of November. I wanted to participate in the 30 Day November Challenge for as long as I could, hopefully into the double digits, but instead I made it to day 5. I was more focused on my T25 workouts at that point, and I was okay … Continue reading November 2018 Training Recap
After reaching a big goal today (1000 miles in a year, yeah!) and seeing my 2018 Year in Review Video on Facebook, I decided to look back on my goals post for this year. It took me a minute to find because last year I didn't post anything until halfway through January. Let's see how … Continue reading Goals for 2018… Accomplished??
For the first time in a few years I won't be running our local Christmas 5k. And since I have been keeping my "run a race every month" streak going strong for almost four years now, I wasn't going to let December bring me down! December races are a little challenging to find... apparently not … Continue reading Race Recap: Dashing Through the Snow & Fire 5k 2018
I stumbled upon this race back in August and signed up right away to get the special pricing - $35 got you a 5k with a cinnamon roll at the finish and a long sleeved quarter zip! Plus I needed a November race to continue my "run a race every month" streak. Win win win! … Continue reading Race Recap: Hungry Turkey 5k at the Detroit Zoo 2018
This year, I am thankful for my health and the health of those around me. A year ago we were shaving my mom's head as her hair was falling out from chemo. This year we celebrate her getting her getting her port removed a few days ago and being cancer free! 6 years ago I … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
When I wrote my last training recap, I had just accomplished my highest monthly mileage. September had been a month of ups and downs. I was only two weeks away from running my next marathon. I had no idea what was coming my way, but I knew I felt really good. And I thought maybe, … Continue reading October 2018 Training Recap
Alright guys, I promise - this is the last part of the story of my best marathon yet! After the split, things feel pretty desolate for a while on the course, but this year wasn't so bad. I had quite a few marathoners in my sights, and the girl that had commented "I wish they'd … Continue reading 2018 Detroit Free Press/Chemical Bank Marathon Race Recap Part 6
