Wish List

My favorite thing to buy is running gear. If I had unlimited funds I can only imagine that someone would find me buried under a giant mountain of compression socks and running shoes after I had been crushed under the weight of my own addiction. Even with that terrifying image- still want more.
Purple Pro Compression
For some reason having pink, black, and neon yellow is not enough. Purple I must have you.
Hokas
I really want to try these running shoes. They look.....different. But word in the running world is that they are like magic clouds of running awesomeness. They are also $170. I feel for that price I should not even have to be present to participate in the run. I should just be able to put them outside and let them back in when they have done my workout for the day.
Bib Folio
 So many bibs. Bibs, bibs everywhere. This would help get things under control. And looks so cute.
So many medals. Medals, medals everywhere. In need of some more space if I am going to start adding marathon medals.
Chevron Skirt
Love this skirt. So cute. Chevrons rock. And this would go really well with purple compression socks.

What is on your wish list?

    I want the purple Pro Compression socks, too! I have pink and orange, but no purple. Purple is my thing!

    Socks are always on my wish list. Hokas do seem pretty darn cool, but I think I would wear them out too fast on the outside edge and be made about it. I want to try newtons which are equally ridiculously expensive.

    I'd love a medal display too, and a running skirt would be nice too! I hope Santa brings you some running gear!

      You are so right- not sure how I missed the skirt is the candy strip. Candy strip or chevron- I will take either or both;).

Training Week 10/9/2017-10/15/2017....or lack of...

Image
....not to give the ending away but this week was a bit of a bust. Last weekend I felt under the weather and by Monday- bam- felt like death. And that freakin cold was a stage 5 clinger and really lingered. SO. MUCH. COUGHING. Monday: Nothing but naps, and couch time. Luckily this guy was around to keep me company. Tuesday: A light weight workout at home. Skipped my scheduled run due to lack of ability to breath without hacking up a lung. Wednesday: Tried to get back on the wagon. Did 2 miles on the treadmill with 8 30 seconds fast, 30 seconds recovery thrown in. Coughed so hard I almost puked. Got off treadmill and laid on floor. Did manage to lift weights during lunch. Bonus points for me. Thursday: After a night of coughing, reset my alarm and slept in until 7. Ran 3 miles outside in the evening with 3 minute run/ 1 minute walk. Felt good until the last mile and then that walk break began to creep up in time as the coughing and snot production increased. But it got don...

Wisconsin Marathon Race Review

Image
First things first- I loved the Wisconsin marathon. It was a great race and I had a ton of fun. I achieved my goal of finishing in under 5 hours and I guess have a new marathon PR by about 43 minutes.....even though this one is seven years after my first marathon. Most importantly there never came a time when I was running the marathon where I regretted my decision to run one. Miles toward the end got tough and uncomfortable but as one lady I ran with exclaimed "hey we are running a marathon today! This is awesome!" It was awesome and I am super excited for my next attempt at 26.2 miles. To the details! Packet Pick-up: packet pick-up was low key at the Best Western in Kenosha the day before the race. In and out in about five minutes with number, t-shirt, cheese samples and a bag full of flyers for other races. This race has two other packet pick-ups on different days near Chicago and one near Milwaukee. They make it easy to get your number. I love the design of the ra...

The forever taper

Image
The weird thing about running all of the marathons and half marathons in a month and a half's time is that it really throws off the normal schedule of working out. I haven't been lifting cause I don't want to hurt myself and because I need all the power my under trained body can muster to finish the next two marathons on the schedule. Getting burnt out on lifting seems not smart right now.  I also haven't been running very much unless it involves a finish line and a medal because I am worried about doing too much and my tendinitis coming back and frankly I have just been tired and sore from doing a marathon and then a half back to back. I did three miles this morning and it took forever and I was just not interested in running at all. Completing three miles took all of my willpower. Not doing anything physical has left me with some extra time on my hands which I have used to catch up on some reading. This book is dark but as I read on I liked it more and ...
