Monday morning meet-up: a half smoke half marathon, a cooking marathon, and a whole lot of onesie time

Uncategorized

Thursday I finally hit the wall, and I hit it hard. Since we got back from our second trip in as many weeks, I’ve had something just about every single day. Mom’s awards dinner, Black Lives Matter comedy show, hosting 50 people in my home for Friendsgiving, African American History...

Monday Morning Marathon Meet-Up: Race Day Recap!

Burning off the Bacon

After four long months of marathon training, Saturday was finally race day. As most of you probably know, after sustaining a foot injury that set me back in my training, I had to drop down to the half marathon. I’ll admit that even the night before the race, I considered...

Monday Morning Marathon Meet-Up: Week 17

This weekend I did my final long run before the big race. Had things gone as planned, I would have been in the final stretch: major tapering. Indeed, I barely ran at all this week, opting for cycling classes instead. This is a luxury that you have when you are...

Monday Morning Marathon Meet-Up: Week 16 (Or Alternatively, Wet Goat Fry: What Not to Eat the Night Before a Long Run)

Well folks, it’s official: I will not be running the 2013 Rock ‘n Roll Marathon. To all of those who have been cheering me on from near and far, I apologize for letting you down. The foot is recovering, but just not fast enough. I won’t say I’m not...

Monday Morning Marathon Meet-Up: Week 15

Burning off the Bacon

I am afraid I do not have good news to report. I was unable to run this week. At all. My foot hurt to walk on, so running was just out of the question. It does seem to be improving, but not quickly enough. I tested it out by running...

Monday Morning Marathon Meet-Up: Week 13

Burning off the Bacon

I have to say that I’m feeling pretty empowered right now. It’s kind of wild what your body will do if you ask it to. It amazes me that I can ask my body to run 19 miles and it will obey. And that I can get up the next...

Monday Morning Marathon Meet-Up: Week 12

Burning off the Bacon

I didn’t really think about running much this week, because honestly 13 miles feels like an off week at this point… nothing to stress out about. Funny how that happens. I remember that from last time around, but part of me didn’t believe it would ever be the case. Also,...

Monday Morning Marathon Meet-Up: Week 11

Burning off the Bacon

My total milage for this week was terrible, but for good reason. I’m surprised I even put in what I did with the Inauguration festivities (partying with Lady Gaga or getting up early to run 8 miles, you tell me?) and the subsequent recovery. I think I literally bruised the balls...

Monday Morning Marathon Meet-Up: Week 9

I gave myself written permission to slack last week, and to some extent, I did. But it wasn’t just wine or laziness that prompted a few skipped runs. I experienced a familiar, stabbing knee pain during Tuesday’s run and figured I’d better not mess with it. By Sunday, things seemed...

Monday Morning Marathon Meet-Up: Week 8

Various Other Ramblings

Training for your first marathon is exciting. Every long run is a milestone. You’re running longer than you’ve ever run before and the sense of accomplishment overpowers the pain. Training for your second marathon is just a huge pain in the ass. You’re forgoing things you’d really like to be...
