First week of 70.3 base training, smack dab in the middle of a vacation week, was a success! Training started on November 19th and currently goes 6 days a week. The only day off I really get is Friday and I will probably eventually take it. For now I'm rearranging some of my workouts around. … Continue reading First Week of 70.3 Base Training

Planning for Rev3, Personal Training Certification, and More
A bit of trailing exhaustion and/or fatigue has gotten in the way of doing anything somewhat routine. After my short half mile pool session yesterday, I felt a bit under the weather because I was convinced that I might've caught some dreaded germs from the water. I felt a bit lethargic today but just chalked it … Continue reading Planning for Rev3, Personal Training Certification, and More
66 Days & $777 in Fundraising To Go Until My Next 26.2
Okay, so I've stayed off my feet and tried to relax a bit at work. With only two weeks until my next half marathon and only 66 days until my next full marathon, I want to focus and get my energy levels back.

Overthinking Is My Downfall
I'll preface this blog post by admitting that I am about to go on a self-loathing rant. Feeling lost seems to be more and more normal for me lately. Overthinking is my downfall. The more I overthink my training and my nutrition the more difficult it gets to maintain any semblance of normalcy. The last … Continue reading Overthinking Is My Downfall
Out of Town Race Weekend!
YIPEEEEEE!!! I get to spend this weekend racing in the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in LA. My hometown! So excited to head back for a few days and soak up the sunshine. It's in the high eighties, so thank goodness the race starts at 7:30am. Last year the course at RnRLA was incredible. It … Continue reading Out of Town Race Weekend!
14 More Days Until Rock ‘n Roll LA Half!
I have exactly 14 more days left until the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in LA. And, with an intense product launch at work, I'm really going to have to be diligent about logging my miles either before, during, or after work hours. It's been a decent training week. I'm hoping to log some more … Continue reading 14 More Days Until Rock ‘n Roll LA Half!
Catching Up With My Marathon Training
So I've written and trashed and rewritten this blog post a few times. It's not even a tell-all or anything. I'm just trying to get back into the swing of things here! I took about two weeks off from any serious marathon training and blogging to take care of some things at work. In that … Continue reading Catching Up With My Marathon Training
Would you be interested in joining my virtual training team?
Hey ladies and gents! I just posted a new vlog after a year-long hiatus. (Warning: it's pretty much the same thing I'm blogging here.) So after reading about a friend who just joined Team in Training for Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge next January, I clicked through to another blog from a charity runner … Continue reading Would you be interested in joining my virtual training team?
There’s Something About a Crow Pose
Yesterday, with my fantabulous Pocket Yoga app, I decided to go for a 45 minute yoga session before work. I was continually interrupted, but aside from those external annoyances, things were going great. I finally started feeling less tense and tight from all the running and biking I've been doing. However, I came across a … Continue reading There’s Something About a Crow Pose
Yoga + Bike Goodies + Hotel Booked + Oh Yeah, Please Donate to my Fundraiser!
It seems like just yesterday I was crossing the half marathon finish line, and now we're already at Thursday! I'm still relatively tense and stiff from the race and I've been meaning to get to the massage therapist's office all week. I will most likely have to schedule it for the weekend. In the meantime, … Continue reading Yoga + Bike Goodies + Hotel Booked + Oh Yeah, Please Donate to my Fundraiser!
