2011: a recap

An ex-collegiate athlete, I ran cross country and track in high school and for a small college. After college, I took a few years off and was a casual runner. I ran for fun and completed few half marathons and a marathon but never focused on time or pace. I just ran to burn off … Continue reading »

Week 7 (12/5-12/11)

So, I thought each week I would do a weekly recap of what it is like to train/run during my second pregnancy. I have no real goals other than to run as long as I can during my pregnancy, given my doctor’s approval. I figured I would throw in some races for fun but just … Continue reading »

Christmas Came Early this Year!

It was a whirlwind trip and we enjoyed the time away but of course, being the homebody that I am, I am always happy to come back to … Continue reading »
