Training for Boston Already?

This week was the first week starting my training for Boston. Already?? I am using a plan from the Advanced Marathoning book by Pete Pfitzinger, specifically the 18 week plan that caps at 70 miles (18/70). I like the way the miles are distributed, instead of the mid-week miles being very similar in

Holiday Halfathon

The Holiday Halfathon is my favorite of the halfathon series. I like the course (a point to point starting in Madeira Beach and running up to Largo), like the time of year, like the Christmas-y shirts (that is my wrinkly shirt pictured), and like the group of runners who seem to do this one every y

Women's Running Half Marathon

For Mom

My mom has been bugging me to update my blog :) so here it goes:My running has been basically in maintenance mode, I've had my miles around 45 per week (or so), and this week and next I will creep it closer to 50. I started back to some speed work, just to get back into that mode since I hadn't do

Nike Women's Marathon 2010 Race Report

Short version: Hills and rain, 3:42:59 official timeLong version...I was really excited to do this race. With it being so popular, it is hard to gain an entry into, and when Kathryn, Carin, and I entered the random lottery, we were on pins and needles for a month waiting to get in, which we found o

Ready To Go!

Yesterday's run was 6 miles, with 2 at marathon pace (with Pacer Mark). Jamie joined Mark and I for this run. When we started on the marathon pace miles, 8:15-ish pace, I was thinking that it felt kind of hard. But the deal was that I am not allowed to look at my watch or complain about it. So I

Nervous

Sunday's run was an easy eight miles with Kathryn, Carin, and Jamie. The run went by nice and easy, eight miles went by fast compared to the last few weeks of our Sunday runs. Officially taper time now! This morning was a short four miles, I started out with Mark, once we hit three miles I turned

Pacer Mark

Wednesday's Miles: 8Thursday's Miles: 6.25I am thinking of running with a pace group in the marathon next week. I haven't ever had an opportunity to do this, only for the first 6 miles of a half marathon (before the pace group split from the half marathon route), so I do not have a lot of experienc

Nice Weather!

Miles: 6.75I wanted to run more :) The weather was perfect!! Mark and I ran in the neighborhood, just basic route (not deluxe). After we got to the house, he continued on for a few more miles. Tapering is nice, but perfect running weather is even better!
