I announced that I was running the Runner’s World Half Marathon in Bethlehem, PA in October over the summer and my plan for the 10 weeks leading up to the race was to journal my training here at FBS. I wrote the same series before my spring half marathon and I was successful in writing all […]

My half-marathon training is going fairly well this fall. I don’t have the plantar fasciitis pain that I had in the spring when I was preparing for Pittsburgh and my legs actually feel stronger now that I’ve added some hill training to my routine. Thank goodness–I’ve been too busy this fall to be saddled down […]

In October, I’m running the Runners World Half Marathon and apparently, it’s a very hilly course. Yikes! My normal running routes are relatively flat with just a few inclines. I would like to maintain a sub-2 hour pace during this race, but its hills could slay me unless I start some hill training. This past […]

My girls headed back to school this week and with that my morning routine has changed too. All summer, after my 6 am run I would come home to a quiet house. I had about 1-2 hours before the kids would get up. I enjoyed a cup of coffee, ate my breakfast, checked my emails, and planned my day in […]

It’s a good thing my first week of training for my next half marathon was at the beach. I’m a bit bored with my local routes at home. Same roads. Same houses. Same white squirrels. But last week we were in Stone Harbor, NJ with extended family for our annual summer beach vacation and for me […]

I’m not fond of the high heat of summer weather. My body doesn’t handle it well when the temps hit north of 85 degrees. The sun fries my fair skin if I’m not careful and I get light-headed easily from the blazing heat. But I love to run, so to avoid a total meltdown, the only way […]

My family took a mini vacation last weekend to Pittsburgh for the half marathon. One reason why I ran the Pittsburgh half marathon again this year was because my family had such a wonderful weekend in 2012. And we also had a hankering for a Primanti Bros. sandwich again. That beastly sandwich is packed with meat, […]

For 10 weeks between March and early May, I charted my progress as I trained for the Pittsburgh Half Marathon. I posted everything about my training from the actual distances to what I wear to how I stay hydrated, nourished and entertained while running. It was a long 10 weeks, but I got through it and I […]
