Race recap: 24 Hours of Palmer Lake 2024

It was a beautiful day at Palmer Lake for a 24 hour race! I had a few goals for my race...A) get in my 15 training miles B) toy with the idea of going 26.2 miles and C) toy with the idea of going 50K. I made my A goal, and failed at my B … Continue reading Race recap: 24 Hours of Palmer Lake 2024 →

Happy Runniversary to Me!

It's my runniversary, y'all! I think it was last February 2nd or 3rd that I made the decision to begin running and I haven't looked back since. Based on the cobwebs in my RunKeeper profile and blog, you might've thought that I've fallen off the face of the Earth. To the theories or speculation of … Continue reading Happy Runniversary to Me! →

Back in the Saddle, Back in the Water

This was definitely a week of firsts!   I got on my bike three days this week -- and if you count the two roundtrip courses I had to do, it was five! Even though I am still relearning a lot of the basics I thought that I'd manipulate myself into riding it a bit … Continue reading Back in the Saddle, Back in the Water →

The Rainbow Bridge says that when we leave this world, the pets we loved greet us again. I hope Kristin found her sweet Fëanor waiting — young, bright, and running straight into her arms. 💛🌈 🐾 Lately 🍂 9 weeks of corporate travel since June, and probably one more to go before the year is up. Loving lazy days ☕️ 📺 🐱 🛋️ 5.5 miles in total today (split AM/PM). Long run tomorrow 🏃🏻‍♀️ Two sessions today Evening treadmill run Quick evening run on the treadmill After-work run…a little later than usual Upper body lifting class tonight after work 💼 Half marathon 66 at the @rundisney Halloween Half last weekend. 90% humidity at the start line 🥵 I went out a bit too hard at the beginning because I was trying to give myself enough of a lead ahead of the balloon ladies. By the time I got to California Adventure I felt pretty rough…wobbly in the legs, not quite seeing stars but pretty close. I kept a close eye on my electrolytes and slowed down a bit. Worst case scenario I could always call it early, but I really wanted to finish. Always a close call but I made it to the 7pm lift class 🤗 Pre-dinner run…on a weekday…while traveling for work. Small wins. Miles for hope. Tomorrow’s half supports @stillirun and @afspnational, and honors my mom’s memory. 💙 Every step is part of my fundraising to help prevent suicide and remind others they’re not alone. Finally made it to a strength training class after 3 missed classes 🏋🏻‍♀️ now I’ll miss 3 more until I’m back from my work trip and half marathon. I did order a yoga mat tonight. My gym has some not-hot-but-warm stretching classes on weekends that I hope to attend more often!
