My 2018 Chicago Marathon Training Thus Far
Now that I'm back in the blogging business, let's talk about my marathon training thus far. I've been working with a new coach this go round and thus far, it's been a great fit. I will pat myself on the back and say that I've been very regimented during this training....
9 Things I’ve (Re) Learned While Training for a Fall Marathon in the Summer
I am alive. I know it's been quite a while since I posted, but trust me I have written at least a dozen witty posts in my head. My athlete, Alex, gave me a friendly reminder the other day. She said she was patiently waiting. I have been getting a lot of creative...
St Anthony’s Olympic Distance Triathlon Race Report 2018
St Anthony's was was two weeks ago and I'm just now getting some time to post my race report. I am going to keep it brief as I really don't have a whole lot to say about it. I had a 10 second PR over the last time I did the distance in 2014. Yes, a whole 10 seconds! I...

Celebration Half Marathon Race Report 2018
My original A race for the year is in the books! I registered for the Celebration Half Marathon a while ago and was counting it as an A race for 2018. This was before I knew I would be running Chicago, but I've got time to make that an A race too. Last weekend will go...
Nine Confessions
Like any good resolutionist, I have failed on my first goal of 2018. I wanted to post here once per week, but I totally missed last week. Go me! #SoStrong On the plus side, I've stuck to my other goals and while I did mention race goals in my year end wrap up I...
