InTheLongRun

I recently realized I haven't actually posted about my run streak and today marks a fun milestone...1000 days! I became aware of "Runstreaks" a several years ago by way of social media. I was aware of lots of runners who participated in streaks but never had a desire t...

I'll never be able to count the times I've said "you can't out exercise a bad diet", yet for the last two years, I've been pretending I could. I haven't let up on my workouts. In fact, I've ramped them up if anything.  Last year I ran 24 races which included 2 marathon...

I often find myself wanting to write more and blog more but I feel like I don't have anything earth shattering to post, sometimes my ideas don't feel worthy, heck who knows if anyone even cares to read what I write. Last week I was reading another blog and I found myse...

I love new beginnings, Fresh starts. It's why I love New Years Eve, its the night every year that I spend mentally cataloging and closing out the ending year and preparing for a fresh new year. I used to love the innocent newness of a new school year.(Note: I DO NOT mi...

 - I'm seeing a physical therapist twice a week, mostly for preventative care so that I don't injured. It took some work but I found a therapist willing to ta...

I have neglected my little corner of the interwebs over the last three months but when you get serious about marathon training, time is at a premium. I had intentions of writing separate posts about Sunday's marathon and the training team I joined for this training cyc...

I now know that before this weekend, I never truly understood teamwork. Of course, working together lightens all of our loads. With teamwork we can accomplish so much more than we can individually. But running is individual, how much of a difference can a team really m...

 Today, this blog, my little corner of the internet turns 2! Wow, the time has flown. I am so grateful for the people I've met and connected with, some in person, some just on social media. There's been lots of running, some recipes, some random thoughts. I have a lot...
