Today’s GAC alumni XC race went SO well. This training cycle for TCM has been really rocky. I’ve put in the miles, done the hard workouts that Jerry has written, but had no idea where that left me given the numerous workouts that I struggled through. Today I won the GAC alumni 5k in 18:35…
No, I haven’t died. Just OMG, XC season has started and I’m in the middle of a marathon training block!!! I have been more focused and productive than ever before. Does it matter? If it is not that important (checking facebook, reading a lot of news, cleaning more thoroughly, and ahem, blogging…), then I simply…
This training cycle has been more up and down than I’ve ever experienced, I think. The good news?

20:20 or so at the Musky Festival 5k. I was the second woman (out sprinted at the end). I actually haven’t looked up the official results. — I was so excited to race this weekend! Jerry was kind enough to allow for a mini-taper (i.e. only 64 miles that week!) so that morning I could…
Things here are CRAZY busy, but in the best of ways! In running-related news, I’m seeing progress in my running/paces and hip rehab, so that’s good. After a 50 min HR progression elliptical workout at the YMCA. I wish I had taken more time to capture workouts in blog posts since I know the post-partum journey…
