Hello, hello! I hope you’re all having fun, fulfilling weeks. Things have been pretty crazy here lately. Most days are filled with early morning studying, 10-11 hour work days, a trip to the gym, sleep, repeat. And yet, when I look through my pictures to recall the week, I realize I did actually get some … More A busy, balanced, week
Hello you guys! I hope you had a great first week back into real life. It sure was very tough for me to sign onto work this week…after two weeks of relaxing holiday bliss, my job is now in full blown “busy season” and we went straight into all-hands-on-deck-mode. I’m definitely bracing myself for some … More A very active weekend
This marathon was unlike any other for me. As I’m sitting down and writing out the details, it’s a bit hard this time to recall the race since it all just kind of flew by. I usually have a dramatic story to tell, complete with overcoming “hitting the wall” and learning approximately 15 life lesson … More California International Marathon race recap
Hey y’all! Saying hi from from Atlanta, my first stop of many over the next four weeks. I’m basically hopping all around the east coast living out of a backpack until the end of the year, with the last stop being my parent’s home in New York – my first visit back since moving to SF…I couldn’t … More CIM update!!
And just like that, Thanksgiving weekend is over. I don’t know about you guys, but I am completely pooped from all the fun this past weekend. I have lots to recap and so I’ll split this weekend into two posts – one on actual Thanksgiving day and one on the weekend following. 🙂 I wasn’t … More Adopted for Thanksgiving + week 12 of marathon training
Yesterday I had 20 miles on the plan – the longest run of the entire cycle. I knew this one was super important since I’m two weeks away from CIM and really needed to finish this as a confident boost. Even though the pressure was on, the entire time I thought:Â I’m gonna miss this SO … More Week 11 of marathon training + I’m really going to miss this
Between recovering from my half marathon and traveling this past weekend, I didn’t get too much running in the last week. I flew down to Texas on Friday for my very good friend Shao’s wedding, where I was actually in the wedding party! I was hoping to sneak in a few miles between all the … More Week 10 of marathon training + life comes firstÂ
This race completely exceeded my expectations, and I think it’s because I entered it having zero. I signed up for the race 5 days before as a way to liven up my usual long run, and also to hopefully get some motivation for the California International Marathon (CIM) in 4 weeks, and boy did it … More Golden Gate Half Marathon race recap
So much to be thankful for this week. On the running front, I spontaneously signed up and ran the Golden Gate Half Marathon yesterday and ended up ringing in a sub-2!!! My heart is so full. I’ll have a full race recap for you guys this week. Trust me, I have a LOT to say … More My breakthrough run + marathon training week 9
Let’s talk about running this week. After last week’s debacle of a long run, I made a big effort to power through and run each mile on the plan this week. I’m getting down to the wire (CIM is 5 weeks away!) and knew I couldn’t afford to miss any more long runs. The beginning … More The best and worst runs yet + week 8 of marathon training
