Week 21 of marathon training. The marathon is about 1.5 months away. Which also means my Disney trip is in a month and a half. But honestly, I don’t know if I’m excited or nervous to be going this time! I slacked a little bit this week and only did 1 of my short runs […]
WDW marathon training – week 20
We’re two months away from the marathon now! You know it’s getting real when the fastpasses have been made. By the way – coordinating fastpasses for 7 people was a bit of a challenge – but I found it fun! And we got everything we wanted, which was awesome. I am so ready to be […]
WDW marathon training – week 19
This was one busy week for me at work, but I made running a priority despite the craziness! At my library we do a program called Enchanted Library, which is a bunch of skits performed by the middle school students. They take place in different locations around the library and on Friday night we dim […]
WDW marathon training – week 18
It was kind of a weird week of training this week! Almost none of my runs went according to plan – sometimes in a good sense, sometimes in a bad sense. I dealt with weird schedules, pain, new shoes, and the weather, but we got another week done! This week was two short runs and […]
WDW marathon training – week 17
Last week was a big week with a 17 mile run! Literally after finishing the Hershey Half and then doing another 4 miles afterward I got lunch, drove home, took a shower, and then got back into the car for 2 hours to drive up to the Poconos for a work conference. The conference was […]
WDW marathon training – week 16
This was a huge week for me in terms of running. Well, and other things also, since I just started my full time job last Monday! Not only did I do the Hershey half marathon with a pretty big PR, I also ran the furthest distance I’ve ever gone. And actually felt pretty good about […]
Hershey Half Marathon 2016 recap
Although it’s no Disney, Hershey Park holds a special place in my heart. It’s our closest amusement park, being only an hour and a half away. They have great roller coasters, and of course chocolate! And they host a 10k and half marathon every year which for some reason I always do really well on. […]
WDW marathon training – week 15
Recapping my marathon training from week 15! I doubt many people really care but if I don’t post I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold myself accountable and I’ll allow myself to skip runs, and I don’t want to do that. This was an easier week, requiring the two short runs and then one […]
WDW marathon training – weeks 13 and 14
While I’ve fallen a bit behind on posting blog updates regarding my run training, the good news is that I haven’t actually fallen behind on the running! It’s just been a bit difficult to post the updates because I haven’t followed the training plan exactly like it’s written – but I’m mostly back on […]
WDW marathon training – week 11
I have to do a little bit of tweaking with my running schedule for the next few weeks. I wanted to finish week 11 this past weekend like I was supposed to, but my body was feeling really sore. And it’s good to listen to your body so I took a little bit of a […]
