Apologies for the long, ramble-y post. I got a lot to say, yo. Ah, the long awaited and highly anticipated 20 mile run. Going into this run I was REAL nervous, I think we can all agree that it sounds…
Marathon Training Week 12: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
the good I never thought I’d say this but I actually really enjoy long runs. Similar to last week, running 18 miles wasn’t that bad. Even I think this sounds absolutely crazy considering I used to cry my way through…
Marathon Training Week 11: running 16 miles didn’t suck
I ran 16 miles. I keep repeating this to myself (and Jeremy and my parents…) because part of me is in disbelief that I not only ran 16 miles but it wasn’t that bad. Seriously. When I got back home from my run…
Marathon Training Week 10: Five Things Every Runner Needs
L’shana tova to those celebrating today. Wishing you a sweet and healthy new year <3 — Whatup, week 10! I’ve been waiting for the insane appetite to kick in and this week it happened. Since Thursday my belly has been a bottomless…
Marathon Training Week 9: Why I Need a Run Coach
Apparently I have A LOT of things to say this week. Apparently it’s also Monday which I keep forgetting, yay long weekend! So, I Hired a Run Coach Last week I treated myself to a week sans running. I cardio danced…
Marathon Training Week 8: Not Running
Yup, I didn’t run AT ALL this week. During my 13 mile run last week my body felt tired. My legs felt heavy and I seriously struggled with the miles. During that strugglefest of a run I decided why not give…
Marathon Training Week 7: Switching it Up
Last week I chit-chatted all about creating the perfect running playlist. Sorry for not including an actual playlist, honestly it’s all musical theater, Green Day and a few cheesy songs only I love. This is why no one ever wants to…
Marathon Training Week 6: Create the Perfect Playlist
If you can run without music, I’m really impressed. I know this is what I’m supposed to do, but I’m also supposed to foam roll before running + avoid dairy the night before running. I’ve eaten Indian food before every single…
Marathon Training Week 5: Longest Run Ever (Accidentally)
11 miles + a very crowded Brooklyn Bridge + getting stopped every couple of blocks = my longest run ever. Which shouldn’t be the case considering I’ve run 13.1 miles a few times… Not exactly what I was going for,…
Marathon Training Week 4: Summer Streets
It’s really weird to do a 10 mile run and know I still have so much more training left to go. Going into this run I was not feeling it. I didn’t think I was ready to run that many miles. Summer Streets made…
Marathon Training Week 3: Why I’ll Never Call Myself A Runner
Minus a 7.7ish mile run my weekend in a nutshell: I just want to spend all my free time outside reading :). I’m also totally that girl who is already getting weepy thinking about summer ending. So, about that 7.7ish…
Marathon Training Week 2: Tracking My Workouts
It’s Monday which means it’s time for marathon training post #2! This week ended up being a total bust I’m sad to say. I knew it would be tricky to begin with seeing as I spent the weekend in Colorado for…
