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 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
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

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.

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
Ooof, it has been 2 weeks already since I completed the Yeungling Shamrock Dolphin Challenge in Virginia Beach, and I'm finally getting around to writing a recap of my experience!

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
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
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
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
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
