Wife. Mother. Runner. Ranch abuser.
After 2 kids and an extra 50 lbs, I decided I didn't want to hate my bod any more. C25K, 10k, 10 miler, Half Marathon, 20 miler, Marathon. All in 2 years.
This year I will:
1. Trump last years 2 marathons
2. Learn to swim (efficiently) and complete a triathlon
3. Clean up my diet and maintain my weight
Join me while I do this awesome stuff.
see mom run
Foam roller = love of my life. FTW.
Serious training is about to begin and I haven’t been stretching nearly enough. I can feel it. I need some tips from ultra veterans!!
Anyone around for me to pick your brain?
My trust steeds. These legs will carry me anywhere I want to go. Whatever distance it may be.
I love my non-stick-thin, runners legs.
What do you love about your body? ;)
Yep. Uh-huh. I did it. 50k done. Time to train for the 50 miler in November.
I loved the race and all the crazy runners i met! I actually feel pretty great 24hrs later!
Made my shirt for the race!! If you know me, you know this is relevant ;)
Great Cranberry Island 50k, I’m coming for ya!
I’ve been training hard. The 50k is in exactly 1 freaking week. I think I’m going to make a shirt that says “I can’t believe I’m actually doing this!!”.
It’s impossible to catch up on everyone but I’m going to try! Anyone commit to anything insane lately?! :)
I signed up for a FREAKING 50 miler. Can we say” next level”?? Every single time I think about this, my heart jumps a bit and I seriously question my sanity. What am I thinking? I can just run a marathon and then turn around at the end and run back to the beginning? And be totally fine? No biggie?!
Sheeets…this is getting intense. I love it!!!
What kind of training do you suggest? 5/6 runs a week? Back to backs every week?? Length of training? Crosstraining? Speedwork?
I just PRed a marathon a week and a half ago, so I’m pretty well trained so far. Where to begin?
I do SOOOOO much better during training if I have a set sched but I’m not sure where exactly to begin!
Please and thank you for any advice!
I haven’t been up this early in a loooooong time. Time for a run! Ultra training starts Monday. (Taken with instagram)
In lieu of running because of this stupid throbbing calf pain I just had a 16 mile bike adventure with Thing 2. Pulling around 50lbs on the back of your road bike is a sufficient workout, I’d say. Especially through the wind. That thing is like a bag of rocks! My legs are soooo dead now.
I’m so glad the nice weather is here, though! I look forward to future quad burning adventures!
What are you doing to get sweaty today?
New shoes did not make the cut. I’m starting to wonder if I’m….injured? Please, say it isn’t so. Any tips for calf burning pain? Also, it seems to be radiating up into my butt cheek, too, now. I will be on the foam roller until further notice.
