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…

Challenge Accepted
It is week four of marathon training and another week of below zero temperatures. My rule is that I don’t run below 5 degrees. What do I do? Where do I go? A few weeks back Brent and I bought a bike trainer because it is hard to get outside in the snow and ice.…

Happy New Year!
We rang in the New Year with some of our closest friends. It was fantastic! Then Brent and I had a fabulous New Year’s Day! (I know I am really late posting about this.) After a lovely New Year’s Day run, we took the dog, grabbed the snowshoes and headed up to the mountains. It…

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…

Let the Training Begin
Yesterday marked the first official day of my marathon training and I did it with a bang! Monday was suppose to be my cross training day, but with snow and ice on the ground, I didn’t know where to begin. Without a gym membership, there are not many options. I think it is time to…

Dhampus to Pothana
We had gone to bed at a decent time. I didn’t sleep very well as we had left the screen window open, allowing hoards of mosquitoes to enter our room. I felt the first couple bites on my arms, some even through the sheets. I was unaware of the screen issue, otherwise I would have…

I’m going to Denver!
Well I did it! I have committed to running another marathon next year! I know that I entered the lottery for the NYC marathon, but I was thinking about running this marathon a few months ago. Let training begin soon. Hopefully we are through all of the negative weather here. We are going to make…

Sand vs. Snow
Over Thanksgiving weekend while in Cannon Beach, I had the opportunity to run in the sand for the first time. I have been to the beach several times, but it was before I started running. I was disappointed that I wouldn’t be running in this year’s Huffing for Stuffing in Bozeman. I figured that running…

NYC Marathon Lottery
Early this morning, I was tagged in a post from my sister-in-law about entering the lottery for the New York City Marathon for 2014. I kind of laugh as I thought about the idea. Then I found out she was serious and was going to enter. This made me think a lot more about it.…

GTRelay 2013 Video
Last year I put together a recap video for the GT Relay. It was fairly well received, so I did one again this year. Here’s to the Grand Teton Relay 2014!
