A Great Kind of Busy
Hey! It’s been quiet around here due to a combo of things. 1. It’s summer break and my focus is not on this blog 2. My work has exploded. In a good way. It’s a great kind of busy. I’m in the throes of a project I’m so passionate about, it doesn’t seem like work [Read More]
Well Hello Summer Break!
School’s officially out this week and summer weather arrived in all it’s fabulous, sun-kissed glory. We actually strung together 4 (FOUR!!!!) gorgeous, rain-free days. After our cold, wet spring, this felt quite fabulous. Here’s how the week in workouts went: Monday: Rest Tuesday: Run 2.5 miles (ran out of time) Wednesday: Run 5 miles Thursday: Swim [Read More]
Run for the Oceans with Adidas
Sustainability is a buzzword right now, but what does it mean? To me it means using less of the world’s precious resources. Walking or running instead of driving, reusing instead of tossing out, recycling and avoiding plastic as much as possible, since that stuff sits in landfills for the duration, as well as pollutes our [Read More]
Back in the Rack and a Limo Ride from Hell
I may not be running as much these days, but my post-marathon goal was to focus on strength training, and I’m happy to say I’ve held up my end of the bargain on that front. The trail may look pretty but I won’t kid you, this run sucked. Here’s how the week in workouts went: [Read More]
Runfessions Over Cold Brew

Since today is one of our rare nicer, warmer days, I’m going with cold brew. I’m linking up with Deb and [Read More]
Is This Thing On? Graduation Festivities
Sorry for being MIA. I’m finally coming up for air after an epic graduation weekend. Whew! It was a whirlwind. I’m not even going to bother sharing my workouts because they were minimal and spotty at best. Some short runs. One visit to the gym….that’s about it. My Garmin is giving me the stink eye.

Running Gear That Goes the Distance + Giveaway
Now that my two marathons of the year are completed and my quest for the 6 World Marathon Majors is a mission accomplished, I’ve been reflective. Reflective on the journey, the and downs, and what, if anything, I’d do differently. Today I’m sharing running gear and accessories that have gone the distance and really helped [Read More]
The Homestretch of MAYhem
We’re in the home stretch of MAYhem here. This week was a single-parenting blur. I knocked out some big things and, kind of like an end-of-school-year Whack-a-Mole, other issues arose in their place. Before I get into that, here’s how my workouts (what are those?) shook out. Monday: Rest Tuesday: Run 3 miles, middle school [Read More]
Mother’s Day Rundown
Happy Mother’s Day! I’m still in post-London Marathon recovery mode but overall? I’m feeling pretty darn great. 8 hours on a plane the day after a marathon is no picnic, but other than that, I feel like my body is less beat up than it was after running Tokyo. Here’s how the week in workouts [Read More]
