Marathon training has been going better for the most part over the last several weeks. I think I needed that half marathon race to give me a boost in my training. Today I am one month away from the New York City Marathon. I am getting excited! The weather is changing here in Bozeman. I…

NYC Marathon Training
I started training just over a month ago for the New York City Marathon. The first several weeks went amazing. I was feeling great and full of energy. My long runs were in the 10-12 mile range which meant that I kept enjoying some nice trail runs. I was also making sure that at least…

I am sitting on a bed at a hotel in Casper, Wyoming icing my ankle as I wait for Brent to finish working. Soon it is off to Denver! Why am I icing my ankle when the marathon is on Sunday? Well, last week I was helping set up for our church service as normal.…

I had to say it.
I just had to say that I was back in the full swing of running again after the weather snap didn’t I? It is now about a day and a half after my last post and things have changed. Last night when I got off work, it was 9 degrees and slowly dropping. I made…

Training Update
I realized that it has been a few weeks since I have updated everyone on my marathon training. The week of cold weather was a little bit of a set back. I did get into the gym. I made the most of my shorter runs on the treadmill trying just to pound out the miles…

Seriously…love training with friends.
I just can’t get over the benefits of training with friends right now. I blogged last week about my tempo run and how great it was for me. (Read about it here). I ran that tempo run by myself and I felt great. Last night one of my friends joined me for my tempo run.…

What are friends for?
I love having friends that are willing to help me out with my training. I have always been really bad about taking the time to do core workouts and anything other than running. I knew I needed some help. I have done a few things off and on with the last marathons, but I was…
