Walk, Run and Lift!
Wow it’s been a rough few days in our house. I didn’t end up falling asleep until around 2am, so I opted for no morning run. I’m disappointed, but I knew it was the smart decision. We went to pre-school class, played after for a while and then came home for nap time! After some naps we made it out for a short walk to get some sunshine! Always the best afternoon pick me up! Nap time for the boys. Coffee for mom! Win! Win! I then snuck out for a 3 mile run, the weather has been perfect lately. It is always a treat to get out in the…

Rough Night Sleep and Day Off
After a very rough night I decided to turn the alarm off and try and get a few minutes of sleep. Everyone seemed a little off today. We took a drive around 10am to try and get some naps. It was a failed attempt. After returning home we tried a walk. That was also a failed attempt, but the fresh air and sunshine did some good for me! Around 3:00 we decided a beach visit was necessary. It is so nice being so close the the beach. There is just something about the sand in your toes and the sound of the waves that just makes everything better! We then…

Day in the Life: Day 1 of Base Training 2.0
Day one of the new training plan! 17 Weeks, using the 10% rule, increasing mileage from 15 to 47 miles per week! At least twice a week strength training and some speed work sprinkled in to avoid boredom and burn out! 4:28am: Woke up in a little of a panic. My alarm was supposed to go off around 4:02, but it either didn’t go off, or I turned it off without realizing it (which never really happens for me). Either way I got up and rushed a little to get ready! Thankfully I just have to make it out to the garage to the treadmill. 4:38am: I was on the…
