Happy Wednesday! Now that the marathon is behind me I thought it might be good to talk about some new products that I tried during my training cycle. I always think that a new training cycle is an opportunity to try new products (within reason). If something works for you that’s great, but if there […]
Yuengling Shamrock 8K and Marathon Race Recap
This year I was lucky enough to be picked as a social media ambassador for the Shamrock Marathon. Although my race entry was free for this race, all thoughts and opinions are my own. You know I always #keepitreal! Happy Wednesday! This weekend I participated in the Shamrock 8K and Marathon. It was a fun […]
Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Training Recap – Week 12
Happy Sunday! Well this is it – my last weekly training recap for the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon. It’s been 12 weeks of ups and downs, but overall I was happy with this training cycle. If I ever do another marathon, I think I’ll stick with a 12 week training plan. Although this training cycle is […]
Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Training Recap – Week 11
Happy Sunday! Is it just me or did this week seem really long? Daytime Savings time certainly didn’t help either. It will take me about 2-3 days to get used to the time difference. Although I’m happy that there will be more daylight hours after I get off work, I’m not looking forward to it […]
Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Training Recap – Week 10
Happy Sunday and what a weird weekend it has been! A Nor’easter came rolling through on Thursday night. I really didn’t think it would be bad but then we lost power at 3:30pm on Friday afternoon and it didn’t come back on until 5:45am on Saturday morning. Thankfully we have extra blankets so we weren’t […]

Happy Friday! We made it through another week – hooray! 🙂 On average, marathon training plans can range from 12-20 weeks. That’s a LONG time to dedicate to ONE race.

Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Training Recap – Week 9
Happy Sunday from rainy and windy Connecticut! Let’s discuss the weather this week shall we? We went from normal cold winter weather (30s), to spring weather (60s), then summer weather (70s), back to winter/spring (50s) and then today cold and rainy today (30s). So basically Mother Nature was just like “Let’s give them all the […]
Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Training Recap – Week 8
Happy Sunday and I hope that you all had a great week! I enjoyed the mild temperature this past week but I was just told that we got 7 inches of snow last night – ugh! I’m currently in Cleveland where it is freezing so my love affair with 50 degree weather is over, lol. […]
Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Training Recap – Week 7
Happy Sunday! How did everyone enjoy the Super Bowl last week? I thought it was a good game but I was very underwhelmed with the halftime show. Although I wasn’t really cheering on a team, I was happy that the Pats lost. I find both Tom Brady and Bill Belichick to be obnoxious. But the […]
Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Training Recap – Week 6
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Are you watching the big game tonight? As a Giants fan, I could really care less about the game since I dislike both team. I am secretly hoping that the Eagles win because I find Tom Brady to be SUPER annoying, lol. I’m also excited about the commercials because there are […]
