This week happened to be a pretty good week for running! I managed to do all of my runs outside, and they all actually felt pretty good, despite the temperature being at about 40 degrees most of the week. I’m very happy with my times, and I ran the furthest I’ve run since the Tower […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 12 weeks to go
12 weeks! That means we’re only three months away from the Glass Slipper Challenge, and I definitely do not feel ready for a 10k followed by my first Half Marathon! But slowly but surely I’m making progress. The weather has had me bummed out a lot recently, but I did a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 13 weeks to go
Running just seems to get harder and harder these days, with the cold weather for me. I was in on the treadmill two days but today it was 55 degrees so I was actually able to get outside! It felt good to be out but it’s definitely harder than being on the treadmill, and can […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 14 weeks to go
Training for this has been so much tougher than it was for the Tower of Terror 10 miler. I think a lot of it has to do with the weather, and my reluctance to run outside in the cold. Add in some injuries and it just isn’t a great start! I only did two runs […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 15 weeks to go
Still trying to get back into the swing of things after being rather sick the past week, and finishing up the play that I’m in (closing night was Saturday!). I’ll get a little more free time, though I will be starting rehearsals for a new show soon! Just fitting in my runs this week was […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 16 weeks to go
This past week was a tough week. As you may be able to tell by the fact that I didn’t finish the training until Monday, when I should’ve been done on Saturday. Better late than never though, I guess. On Tuesday I went for a run in Valley Forge, and I picked a different part […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training – 17 weeks to go!
Only two weeks after the Tower of Terror 10 miler, and it’s time to start training for the Glass Slipper Challenge, happening in February! The Challenge involves running the Enchanted 10k on Saturday, followed by the Princess Half Marathon on Sunday. It’s a big goal, but I’m excited for it! And what better way to […]
ToT 10 miler training: 1 week to go!!
Actually, in less than a week I will be running the 10 miler! I’m so pumped and ready for it, but I’ll admit I’m a little bit nervous too. It will be my farthest “official” 10 mile run. Plus, it’s at night, and although I’ve been running in the evening to prepare my body, I […]
ToT 10 miler training: 2 weeks left
We are only two weeks left, and it was quite a week of running! I was signed up for a 5k on Saturday, so I decided to do my long run during the week, on Wednesday. I tried my best to do everything I could to mimic race conditions, since it’s the last long run […]
Things to Carry with you When you Run
When I first started running, this was one of the biggest questions on my mind: what on earth do I “need” when I go running, and what should I carry with me? Through training and experimentation I’ve discovered what works best for me. This, of course, will vary for everyone based on multiple factors: […]
