Nothing like letting ‘life’ get in the way…

WOW

15 hours at work on Monday. Left at 11 pm. I actually spent the night in Red Wing — wahoo, camping out in the empty house.
Followed up by a 10 hour day today, where I left only because I knew I had to get home to prep the house for the movers tomorrow (and get a run in!!). I feel like I need to put another 15+ day… for the next week and a half straight. Ug, this budgeting cycle is almost done. Thank GOODNESS.

So, now, a quick run, then more cleaning/packing … then sleep, wake up & pack and load stuff. Sad! I don’t want to leave my house!!!!!

I don’t think this schedule is conducive to a fast marathon…….

Goal Setting

I hadn’t pinned down a definite goal for the marathon until this week. When I first started training after Fargo, I think I told myself I was going for a 2:55 or 2:56. The dilemma was: I’ve been racing better than I ever have. I’ve surprised myself in 2 5ks, running in the 17:40s, and…

He has had a great season, as recapped here. Other than that, not much has been going on in our house……

Updates – a Nutrition Page – and Motivation Monday!

Training has gone a little better since my last post, so that’s great! I did just two workouts written from Chris this week. We’re specifically taking it easy as I’m not ready to jump into anything defined yet, either physically or mentally. The first workout was a 7.5 miler with a progression HR build. I’ve…

Taking some time off

ByNichole Porath

Like Dale and Derek suggested, I’ve taken a little more time off. I’m excited to try to run again, to see if there’s any improvements. This last week I think I’ve made huge improvements with the chiropractor. I honestly feel like my hips are “different”, and the left one (normally the healthy one) feels lower…

Day off!

ByNichole Porath

After Sunday’s long/hard marathon pace run, my quads were pretty beat up. I had run for 10 days in a row & my legs were telling me that. Haven’t been that sore in a while! Usually when I’m beat up like that, I recover pretty quickly — usually just a day or so of rest…
