Figuring Out Life, One Mile (and Meal) at a Time
It has been a week since I ran the Detroit Free Press/TCF Bank International Half Marathon, and it's about dang time that I write up my race recap. TL;DR - It was a whole lot of fun, with some crazy ups and downs thrown in, and I'm not just talking about the bridge and the… Continue reading Race Recap: Detroit Free Press/TCF Bank International Half Marathon 2019
Today marks one month until I stand at the start line of another marathon. To say I have mixed feelings about this is an absolute understatement. August and September had some major ups in my training and running accomplishments, and also some major downs. Just like hills are an important part of a training plan,… Continue reading August & September Training Recaps
When your training hits a speed bump, especially while you are on vacation from work, you start to reflect on a lot of things. Today I’m reflecting on the fact that I don’t blog nearly as much as I would like to. And I have missed some recaps of races along the way. So here’s… Continue reading 2019 Race Recaps (So Far…)
With how many races I have run over the years, you would think it would be difficult for me to choose my favorite race. But hands down, Crim is it. This year was my 5th year in a row running this race and it was another incredible year! Each year has its own special memories,… Continue reading Race Recap: Crim 10 Miler 2019
Here we are, halfway through August, and I am just getting around to writing my July training recap. I also am realizing that I have slacked on updating my blog lately. I haven't done race recaps for any of the races that I ran in July. I haven't shared my thoughts on anything in a… Continue reading July 2019 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
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
What you've all been waiting for... the final part of my Yeungling Shamrock Dolphin Challenge race recap! Part two captured the 8k on Saturday and this blog will sum up the experience, focusing on my awesome performance at the half marathon on Sunday. Sunday was another dark and early morning for us. We still dressed… Continue reading Race Recap: Yeungling Shamrock Dolphin Challenge – Part Three

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!
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
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! It was such a fun weekend full of friends, good food, and of course running. To really capture everything I want to share, I'll split… Continue reading Race Recap: Yeungling Shamrock Dolphin Challenge – Part One
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!
