Weekly Workout/Training in Review 5/1-5/7

Weekly Workout/Training in Review 4/24-4/30

Hello! I am back in DC after a quick trip to the Aloha State.  Cliff had a work trip, so I tagged along and teleworked for the week (air mileage points for the win).  I worked my same east coast hours, which meant I was up from 2:30AM-11:00AM Hawaiian Time.  That left me a half a day to explore Waikiki/Honolulu (I usually went to bed around 7:00PM-8:00PM).  I'm writing this post a little late, so I missed the linkups. I'll rejoin them next…

Weekly Workout/Training in Review 4/17-4/23

Happy Monday! First, congrats to my high school elementary school buddy Tricia on her BQ at the Coastal Delaware Marathon! Second, congrats to Jackie on her win at the GW Parkway Classic 5K.  They are both a great source of motivation.  Speaking of inspiring, did anyone watch the London Marathon this past weekend?  Monday 4/17 - Rest Day  Not running related, but have you guys ever used Amazon Locker? I have one close to work so I send packages here to avoid package theft #citylife.…

Weekly Workout/Training in Review 4/10-4/16

Hi everyone! I am back with my Weekly Workout/Training in Review posts now that my foot is finally feeling better and have been able to run consistently the past couple of weeks.  January-March brought a cold, an achy foot (re-injured it in Bermuda - more on that in my Bermuda recap post), and walking pneumonia (had no idea that existed).  I'm ready to get back at it, but it feels like I am starting all over again (I'm about 3-4 minutes/mile slower from a…

Marine Corps Marathon Training T-2–10/12-10/18

Surprised by my blog title?!  Image: Marine Marathon  Remember back in March I received a “second chance registration” email from MCM and and proceeded to sign up for the 40th Marine Corps Marathon?  I decided Chicago would be my “A” race and MCM would be for “fun”….oooh I definitely questioned my decision making/sanity while running Chicago last week: 11:26AM: Only halfway through and my quad is pinching, how will I run another marathon in 2 weeks?! 1:36PM: My quad is hurting and its so hot....I'll…

Charleston Half Training – 1/5-1/11 – Week 10
