17 seconds. That’s how far away I was from a PR in a race that I went to thinking that anything under 1:15 I would be happy with. Turns out I was ready for a PR…..I just wasn’t quite prepared to go absolutely eyeballs out enough to squeak under my 1:13:21. Its funny thinking about…

fueling, half marathon, long runs

Everyone knows that nutrition is a huge part of running a fast marathon, that you can’t really make it through a marathon without some kind of fueling, but what about those of us who are running a half marathon?

It’s still hard to even believe I have done it. Hard to believe that I did in fact achieve my ultimate running goal, the only hard set running goal I ever had. You know I am an intuitive person, so I do not usually set goals, but this was one I had from the very…

If you had asked me a week ago if I could guess what I would have run at this race, I would have asked you if I even finished. Last Wednesday was miserable. So bad that my strength coach Drew ended up making me lie on the floor of the gym doing breathing exercises to…
