There are many things I don’t like about winter. The snow is certainly one of them, and we’ve got about 2 feet over here. But even moreso than that, I hate the cold. I can’t run if it’s below about 35 degrees, it’s just unbearable to me. So when I heard we had a day […]
The struggle of buying running shoes
I’m trying not to be upset with myself for not sticking to my training plan. The reason why I couldn’t is because I’m resting up from an injury, basically. And while I know it’s better to recover than to push myself, at this point I’m only a month out from the half marathon and I’m […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 11
I’m so late in getting this training post up that I doubt anyone will read this or comment on it – but I’m still working on holding myself accountable by posting. This is week 11 in the training and it was an okay week. No super long run this week, the longest was 4 miles. […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 10
Happy holidays to everyone! Not surprisingly this week was pretty busy for me, but I still managed to get 3 runs in (it was supposed to be 4, but this week that definitely wasn’t happening! So I cut out the 2 mile run). I couldn’t pass up this warmer weather! On Monday I stopped at […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training: week 8
With my trip to Disney I fell a little behind on my training. I was hoping to get in at least two runs while I was there but I only did one. I did of course do plenty of walking around the parks – my fitbit says over 10,000 steps every day, and most days […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 7
The next couple of weeks of training are going to be a little weird because I’ll be in Disney for 10 days and I don’t know if I’ll get any running in at all! Due to this I’m aiming for 2 runs the next couple of weeks instead of 3, and I’ll be rearranging things […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training: Week 6
This week was a great week for running! I only got two runs in this week instead of 3, but they were both excellent. Skipping one shorter run won’t ruin my training, and I was still recovering from my foot hurting (by the way, the new shoes are great so far – I haven’t had […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: week 5
Remember two weeks ago when I complained my foot hurt after my longer run? Well, it seems it wasn’t just a one time thing because I had bad foot pain after my longer run this week too. It seems fine on the short runs, but once I hit over 4 miles it starts hurting. So […]
Glass Slipper Challenge Training: Week 4
Some weeks are up, some weeks are down. This was one of the down weeks, unfortunately. In both the figurative sense and the literal sense! I had mentioned that my foot was hurting during last week’s run, so I took a couple of days off and didn’t run until Wednesday. Then on my Wednesday run […]
Glass Slipper Challenge training: Week 3
Before I get to my own training, I just want to talk a little bit about what happened at the Wine and Dine half marathon this weekend. From what I gathered from friends posting on facebook, they were evacuated from the corrals before the race started, and then started about an hour or more late. […]
