As promised, I'm giving my running its own post for 2015! This was a big year for me. I ran further than I ever have before. I ran faster than I ever before. I ran races that I never thought I could. I ran after my goals and I crushed them. So first, lets talk… Continue reading 2015 Running Year in Review

2015 Year in Review
2015 was an incredible year for me. I finally felt like I had made the right choice in my career, thanks to my new job. The only time I don't feel like going to work is when I know my schedule is light. I love my busy days. The people I work with are incredible. My… Continue reading 2015 Year in Review
Race Recap: BARC Christmas 5k
Well guys, I reached my goal! I ran a race every month during 2015. (Although if you want to be technical, in March I did not run an organized race - I just challenged myself to running a 10k on my own). My December race was the Bay Area Runners Club (BARC) Christmas 5k. This… Continue reading Race Recap: BARC Christmas 5k
Banking the Miles: Fall 2015 Update
It is hard to believe that 2015 is on its way out. This year has been great - and busy! - which has translated into me not keeping up with this blog as much as I would like. Once again I will add "keep up with blog" to my Goals for 2016! Anyway... my running… Continue reading Banking the Miles: Fall 2015 Update
Thirty Things Before 30: #15 & #23
I posted a blog back in March titled "Thirty Things Before 30" - a bucket list to complete before I turn 30 on July 29, 2017. I recently completed a few of those things... and it wouldn't be fun if I didn't write a blog about them! #23: Go on a road trip with a… Continue reading Thirty Things Before 30: #15 & #23
Race Recap: Race for Makueni and Mid-Land 10ks
Hello friends. It sure has been a while. I have been really busy - in the beginning of October, I stood up in my best friend's wedding. And just like the last time I stood up in a friend's wedding, my training and eating went :::whoosh!::: right out the window! I hardly ran at all… Continue reading Race Recap: Race for Makueni and Mid-Land 10ks
Race Recap: Run For Your Heart 5k
My friends and family are wondering who I am, and what did I do with the "real" Megan, because I have started getting up at 4:30 in the morning... for BOOT CAMP. I started a boot camp workout class on Wednesday, and even on my days off from I am getting up no later than… Continue reading Race Recap: Run For Your Heart 5k
Race Recap: The Crim 10 Mile 2015
My last training run before the Crim was a tough 8.4 mile route up at my parents' place. When I got home from the run, I said to my parents, "I really hope adrenaline kicks in during the race because that was really rough." For the rest of the day I felt crappy. I had… Continue reading Race Recap: The Crim 10 Mile 2015
Banking the Miles: July/August Update
I'm running the Crim in less than 2 weeks. To say that I am nervous would be an understatement. This will be the longest race I have ever run... by a whole lot. I haven't even run an official 10k in more than a year... and in less than 2 weeks I will be running… Continue reading Banking the Miles: July/August Update
Banking the Miles 2015: June Update

I finally reached my goal of 50 miles in a month!!! June 2015 has been an absolutely amazing month. I… Continue reading Banking the Miles 2015: June Update
Race Recap: St. Mary’s Bee Healthy for Life 5k
After my awesome performance at the Cedar Point race, I set my sights on training for a 10 mile race - my goal is to run the Crim this year. I have been super diligent about my training plan, and it is definitely paying off. I have been doing run/walk intervals... I'm sure there's mixed… Continue reading Race Recap: St. Mary’s Bee Healthy for Life 5k
Race Recap: Cedar Point Millennium Force 5k
I remember being at Cedar Point one year, when I realized that walking around the park was almost a 3 mile journey, thinking "It would be so cool to run a 5k at Cedar Point!" The next year, the Chris Smith Memorial 5k was started... a 5k race through Cedar Point. Since then, I have… Continue reading Race Recap: Cedar Point Millennium Force 5k
Banking the Miles 2015: May Update
Well guys, I have really been slacking. I have been slacking on my miles and I have been slacking on my posts! So much has happened in the last few months... a few of my friends and family have gotten engaged, pregnancies have been announced, my best friend moved to another state, and another friend… Continue reading Banking the Miles 2015: May Update
Race Recap: The Chip River Run 2015
This is my third year running this race, and every year it has been so very different. Not only the course but the conditions. Each year presents its own challenges, but this year... this year was definitely the most challenging. My lack of posts coincides with my lack of training. I have been seriously slacking.… Continue reading Race Recap: The Chip River Run 2015
Race Recap: Go the Extra Mile for Covenant Kids
I had every excuse not to run today. I haven't run since April 3rd. I'm still trying to get over an illness. I had plans to go try on bridesmaid dresses with my friend 90 minutes away from where I live. My new friends from church encouraged me to run the race. At first I said,… Continue reading Race Recap: Go the Extra Mile for Covenant Kids
