For a few years now, I make a list of the races I plan on doing in the upcoming year. This was really helpful when I was on a streak of running at least one race per month. Sadly that streak came to an end in 2019 when I did not run my planned race… Continue reading My Running Year in Review

October 2019 Training Recap
We are more than halfway through November, and here I am finally writing a recap of my October training. I’m going to do things a little differently this month. Rather than copy and paste my usual format, spewing out stats and numbers, I’m just gonna write what’s on my mind and on my heart. You’ve… Continue reading October 2019 Training Recap
Race Recap: Indianapolis Monumental Marathon 2019
“There will be days you don’t think you can run a marathon. There will be a lifetime of knowing you have.” In the weeks and days leading up to the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, I had a lot of moments where I was not sure if I could run a marathon. Even the day of the… Continue reading Race Recap: Indianapolis Monumental Marathon 2019
June Training Recap
As I sit here on my first day of my long weekend and reflect on June, I am realizing... wow. It was a busy month! Besides my own training and racing, I cheered on friends at a few races, worked at a trail race and a triathlon, helped my friend get her house ready to… Continue reading June Training Recap
Race Recap: Greater Midland Dow RunWalk 10k 2019
After accomplishing a couple of incredible PRs in the half marathon distance, I decided to "seek discomfort" (as my friend Katelyn puts it) and push to get a 10k PR. The 10k is my least favorite race distance. It is too short to take it easy, and a long distance to go all out. It… Continue reading Race Recap: Greater Midland Dow RunWalk 10k 2019
April & May 2019 Training Recap
April ended with a bit of a weird feeling that hung around for a while in May. May was a busy month between doing a run streak, training to beat my 10k PR, and having fun in my social life. So although I'm a little disappointed that I did not do any blogging last month,… Continue reading April & May 2019 Training Recap
Race Recap: Owens Corning Half Marathon 2019
It has been 3 weeks since the Glass City Owens Corning Half Marathon and I am still struggling to write this recap. I would love to give the excuse that life has gotten so busy and I haven't had time (and I have been busy, so that wouldn't be a lie) but it is honestly… Continue reading Race Recap: Owens Corning Half Marathon 2019
Marathon Monday 2019!
Good morning everyone! How are you doing on this Marathon Monday? I will be at work today, checking in on the app to see how my friends are doing, wishing I had taken the day off so I can watch the race live. It is on my bucket list to go to the Boston Marathon… Continue reading Marathon Monday 2019!
Race Recap: Yeungling Shamrock Dolphin Challenge – Part Two
I know what you're thinking - it's about time Megan wrote the next part of the race recap. Okay, probably not, but I'm definitely thinking it! So let's get on with it and recap the 8k! This was my first time running back to back races on different days. I have run the Irish Double… Continue reading Race Recap: Yeungling Shamrock Dolphin Challenge – Part Two
Race Recap: Winterlaufe 8k 2019
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
My Ideas, Goals and Dreams for 2019
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
Ready to Go 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
