Race Recap: Louisiana Half Marathon 2019
This race recap was a long time coming! My schedule has been completely swamped and I haven’t had the time to update my blog. But, better late than never. The Louisiana Marathon and half were incredible. You MUST MUST MUST do this race if you are looking to complete the 50 states challenge. The people…

Training Recap: Week 6+7+8+9 Escape from Alcatraz
I just wrapped up month 2 of my 5-month training plan. Something that I am learning is that following a training plan is becoming very difficult for me! I’ve been incorporating a lot of Orangetheory into my routine — about 3-4 sessions a week, at the expense of my running training, but what has been…

Training Recap: Week 3+4+5 Escape from Alcatraz
Week 3 and 4 were quite interesting. I’ve been really scatterbrained lately, which is odd because school is not in session 🙂 In an effort to help me with training, I’ve rejoined Orangetheory Fitness. I had a membership a few years ago, and I really liked it. I just found it difficult to incorporate into…

Race Recap: Honolulu Marathon 2018
One of my favorite states of all time…Hawaii! When I first heard of the Honolulu Marathon, there were a few things that drew me in: 1) a marathon in paradise and 2) no time limit! (A back-of-packer like me needs all the time she can get.) The Honolulu Marathon is in December, which is a…

Training Recap: Week 1+2 Escape from Alcatraz

Race Recap: Rock n Roll Denver Half Marathon 2018
This is my third time running the Rock n Roll Denver half marathon. However, this was the first time I didn’t live a block away from the start line! Over the weekend, I received a lovely nuun shipment! I added a few extra flavors to my standards: watermelon and tropical fruit. Together, they taste like…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll Savannah Half Marathon 2018
I had been wanting to run Rock n Roll Savannah since 2012. It was one of the first races I registered for when I bought my first tour pass. My goal was always to run the full marathon, but I came up very short on training time. My longest run had been 17 miles on…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon 2018
Las Vegas is a fun city. It is more fun in November when you get to run on the Las Vegas Strip in the evening! I’ve generally had a pretty good time at this race in the past, but the day before the race I came down with a cold. It was such bad timing…

Race Recap: Hot Chocolate 15K Denver 2018
This was single-handly one of the most fun races I’ve done…ever! The Hot Chocolate series is a multi-city race circuit that includes 5K and 15K distances. I wish they actually went up to the half marathon distance, but I can see how these distances actually make the race more approachable and fun. My husband was…
