Hey guys. Keeping up with my runs. Sunday I did 12 miles. Then we went to a Food Festival. It was pretty cool. I had a beef kabob and potato on a stick (pretty cool) plus a funnel cake (gotta have a funnel cake at a Food Festival). Yesterday I ran 3 miles recovery and slow. Today I did a...

Hey guys. I got in a five-mile run today despite the rain. I am going faster with my pace and yet it is feeling easier. I guess all the training is paying off. Deb- the course is mostly flat except for around mile 13, by the Philadelphia Zoo. They say there is a high incline there, but then...

Hey guys. I am sorry I keep falling off the radar. It gets a little crazy between school, training for the marathon, and then my sons' activities between baseball and theatre club. A lot going on right now. I have been doing really well with my training runs. I did my longest run on Sunday, 20...

Hey guys. I had a blast at the Joan Jett and Heart concert. Took a rest day Friday. I had about 4 hours of sleep the night before, and couldn't move. Saturday I did a 4 mile run. Sunday was a 13 mile run. Monday I went to Crossfit then ran 3 very slow miles. Today I swapped out runs in my...

Hey guys. Mid-week mid-length run all done. I did 8.5 miles. I was going for 9 but it got dark out earlier than I anticipated. I am going to have to start these runs earlier and earlier. I am excited for the concert tomorrow! Belinda- A few years ago I would have been very excited for new...

Hi guys. Today I did a little over 3 mile run and then went to CF. Between the two workouts I burned over 1000 calories. Not too shabby. Tomorrow I am going for 9 miles. Thursday is my rest day for the week. I am going to see Joan Jett and Heart (the girl rock band from the 80s ) with my...

Hey everyone. Today was a CF workout. It was a doozy. My whole upper body is sore. 5 rounds of Mary: 5 z presses, 10 pistol squats alternating legs, 15 banded pull-ups Then a 35 calorie row and 20 barbell snatches. I am exhausted and plan on going to bed early. Deb- I hate having my teeth...

Hey guys. Yesterday I did a five-mile run then went to DS's baseball game. Today I did my long run of 19 miles. I really struggled with it at the end. I walked from 16.5 to mile 17. Then I ran 17-18, then walked on and off 18-19. I ran out of water, which contributed to my slow ending. I am...

Hey guys. Nine miles done. I was a little slow today. One side of the track was quite windy. Got it done though, before the sun set too. It is going to be hard to get these mid-week longer runs in when we turn the clocks back. Belinda- They started filming? I must've missed that update. Deb-...

Hey guys. Getting back into the swing of things. I went to Crossfit yesterday. We did Thrusters and pull-ups. I did assisted pull-ups with the band. We had to do rep-sets: 9-12-15-18-21 of each and then run 200 meters in between. Today I ran 4 miles. Tomorrow is my mid-week mid-long run: 9...

Hey guys. I know I went off the radar again. It was a crazy week. I was not able to go to Crossfit all week. However, I did get all of my training runs in :). I flew down to Florida right after school on Tuesday. I stayed with my cousin, who ran with me Wednesday morning at 5 a.m. It was already...

Hey guys. I decided to get in my tempo run today because I won't be running tomorrow. I booked a flight for after work tomorrow so that I can attend my aunt's funeral on Wednesday. Knowing I still need to keep the mileage up, I ran 3 miles at tempo pace and 1-mile recovery. To tell the truth, I...

16 miles done. I felt good the whole way. My legs hurt, but It felt like an easy pace. I have a good feeling about this marathon. Belinda- thank you. My cousin texted me to call her while I was at the craft fair and I knew it was my aunt. It was hard to hear. I knew last summer when I visited...

Hey guys. Friday was a CF workout. Saturday was a 4 mile run. Today I am gearing up to do 16 miles :eek::eek::eek:. The longest run yet in my training. I hope I can do it all. Lol. I found out yesterday that my aunt, my mom's sister, died. I was very close with her. I felt like she was my last...

Hey guys. It has been a crazy week going back to school. One son starting high school the other starting middle school. I have not been sleeping well because my mind won't shut off. I went back to work Tuesday. I had a lot of anxiety because my admin is so toxic. However, the first day of...

Hey guys. I am sorry I have had no time to check-in. The good news is I have been doing my training runs regardless of how busy I have been. My long run was Friday, 14 miles. Then I headed to Diamond Nation in New Jersey for. . . baseball tournament, what else. Got a three-mile recovery run on...

7-mile run done. Have a lot to do today. Plan on working on my patio while taking dips in the pool. Stay cool everyone! Kristin

Hey guys, It has been a busy weekend. Saturday was my long run, 13 miles. It was very humid out, so slow and steady, but got it done. Sunday was a rest day. Today I ran 3 miles. It was supposed to be a fast tempo run, but with the heat and humidity, I made it a recovery run, slow and steady. I...

3.5 mile recovery run is finished. Eating breakfast and then heading to CF. The beach was lovely, and yes, I did go swimming in the waves. We were in the water for hours. It was refreshing and fun. On my way home DH sends me a link that black tip sharks have been spotted off Long Island...

Interval run done. I got it in early and it was great. Getting ready to go to the beach with some work friends. Not sure if I will venture into the water, lol. Deb- I cannot retire for another 12 years. . . so clearly, if I am going to survive and continue to give my students my all, I need to...
