Wow, we’re only two weeks away. Even though four runs were on the agenda for this week, I only got in two. You’ll see why in a moment, but I felt it was smarter to rest up and recover rather than push myself too hard this close before the race. I’m really nervous now about […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training – 3 weeks to go!
I can’t believe that in 3 weeks I’ll be running the Glass Slipper Challenge! I’m hoping to get in one more long run before that but the weather doesn’t seem to be cooperating. Honestly, in terms of running this was a pretty boring week. It was treadmill all week, about the same pace throughout. But […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 4 weeks to go!
We are only one month away from the Glass Slipper Challenge! I’m excited and pumped, though my (failed) run Friday didn’t exactly get me motivated. What does have my motivated is my new FitBit Surge – if you didn’t see the review I wrote this week, go check it out! I kind of “reversed” the week […]
Glass Slipper Challenge – 5 weeks to go
Cold, cold, go away, come again some other day! In case you hadn’t guessed, I was stuck on the treadmill this week. Three treadmill runs. On a related running note, if you didn’t see it I just did a review of Clif products and all that they have to offer to runners (Clif energy bars, […]
Runner’s Guide: Clif bars and more
One of the most important things when it comes to running is fuel. And that includes what you put into your body before, during, and after running. This is especially true for long distances, and if you’re training for a Disney race you’ll probably want to investigate some of the fuel options. Clif, the company […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 6 weeks to go
It was a pretty big week for my run training. I only got in 3 of the 4 runs, but I managed the long run, which is the furthest distance I’ve ever gone! And now that we’re 6 weeks away my costume is really starting to come together. I made my shirt for the half […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 7 weeks to go
The countdown on my phone says that I’ll be in Disney World in 47 days, which is a little scary! It’s really starting to feel real that not only will I be running my first half marathon, but I’ll also be doing a 10k the day before. Granted, I plan to do plenty of character […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 8 weeks to go!
8 weeks means that we are only 2 months away! I seriously can’t wait, I’m excited both about the trip to Disney World and running these races. And this week’s training felt really good. In spite of the holidays, I managed to get 4 runs in, and one of them was a long run. On […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training: 9 weeks to go
This week was kind of a downer for me in terms of running. I did go back and get in the 7 mile run that I had skipped last week, but then the 4 mile run I was supposed to do this week got cut short. I hate having to deal with all of this […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training – 10 weeks to go
So this week was my first week with a back to back training run. It was just a 1 mile on Friday and it was supposed to be 7 on Saturday… but I was signed up for a 5k so I only did 3.1! I may try to do 7 next weekend instead of 4 […]
