Happy Sunday! Whoa, what a week! I feel like I blinked and the week was over. This didn’t surprise me since my week was pretty busy, including traveling to Philly on Thursday after work to celebrate my friend’s graduation. As you’ll see, this week was lower in mileage but I’m totally fine with that. Week […]
Weekly Run Down: Chicago Marathon Training – Week 2
Happy Sunday! I’m writing to you today from the surface of the sun. Seriously, I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say I will be so glad when this heatwave is over. I think we’re supposed to get a break from it on Monday/Tuesday of next week. I hope that you’re all staying cool […]
Weekly Run Down: Chicago Marathon Training – Week 1
Happy Sunday! Well it’s that time of the year again – marathon training! I’m excited/nervous to start another marathon training cycle. This summer I’m training for the Chicago Marathon. I ran the race in 2017 and had an awful race so I’m going back this Fall for redemption (hopefully)! Here’s how my workouts went this […]
Chicago Marathon Race Recap
I’m baaaccckk! After a week away from everything – workouts, running, blogging and social media – I’m happy to be back.

Happy Sunday 🙂 I can’t believe that this is my last Chicago Marathon training recap. This will be a short and sweet training recap since this was my last taper week and I ran the marathon today. Monday 10/2 2 miles + PT exercises. It felt really weird to just do a 2 mile run […]

Tunes Tuesday 10.3 – Chicago Marathon Playlist
Welcome to Tunes Tuesday for October! Yup, October…as in the 10th month of year. How crazy is that?! As a reminder, Tunes Tuesday is now once a month instead of weekly. We will still have themes but feel that a monthly format may help more people participate. The link-up will open on the first Tuesday […]
Chicago Marathon Training Recap – Week 19
Happy Sunday! By this time next week I will be done with the Chicago Marathon and have a shiny new PR (hopefully)! Not much to report this week – just some shorter runs and strength training. I have been doing more stretching and foam rolling since I have some extra time on my hands. I’m […]

Chicago Marathon Training Recap – Week 18
I’m coming to you live from Montreal! I am here this weekend for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Montreal 5K and Half Marathon. I was planning on taking a nap at some point but of course now I’m completely wired and awake, lol. No better time to do my weekly training recap! This week was another […]
