Hey guys. 6-mile run done. I got it in before the rain! It is very humid today so I took it slow and steady. I was comparing my training runs for this marathon compared to last year's training for the Hamptons Marathon. I think I am doing a much better job of consistent training. I don't think I...

Hey guys. 4-mile run done. I didn't feel like going out for a run, but I did it. Following my plan. . . no CF today. I am going to see my mom later and then I am going out to dinner with some work friends. Should be fun. My younger DS wants to do a craft fair. A friend of his from the theatre...

Hey guys. 3-mile tempo run done. It is about to pour here and the humidity killed me, but I got it done. I was actually hoping it would start to rain while i was running to cool me off, lol. I am also going to CF this morning. My entire core is sooooo sore from yesterday's CF workout. I felt...

Hey guys. Just finished my 6-mile run. Heading to CF at 10. The class is dedicated to core work today, so not a lot of additional cardio or impact, which is great. I have been reading this book called Meb for Mortals. It is by Boston Marathon Champion Meb Keflezighi (I think that's how you spell...

Hey guys. I did an 11-mile long run this morning. I told you last week that I found a paved trail out East. Well, I found a facebook page and joined it. There was a woman earlier in the week who posted that she is training for a marathon and is doing a 14-mile long run Saturday, she was looking...

3-mile run done! The heat and humidity are killing me. I need to try to get out the door earlier. It might be better to run at 6 a.m., but I like to sleep, lol. Deb- there are seven seasons. I am in season 1. I would be further along, but like I said, definitely not for kids. Belinda- CCC was...

5-mile run done. It was very hot and humid at 7 a.m. They are saying that we will be in the 90s today, but the feel like temps will be over 100. I think I will be in my pool. I just started watching Orange is the New Black on Netflix. I know, I am late to the party. I am really loving the...

Hey guys. Yesterday was my rest day. I thought about going to CF, but I was UBER to both boys all day yesterday between baseball and drama rehearsal. I was exhausted when I finally got home at 5:00.

Hey guys. 3- mile recovery run done. I took an easy pace, which was hard for me to do. I kept looking at my watching thinking I should go faster, but I am sticking with the training plan and it says these easy run days are necessary, so I got it done in 31 minutes as opposed to the usual 25-27...
