Weekend Photo Round-up

First off did anyone watch the NYC Marathon this morning? Amazing. I just have a hard time comprehending how fast they move. Amazing! One day I would like to do this marathon....and then eat a lot of New York Pizza. Are you really that surprised that a race goal involves food? I feel you all should just expect that by now;).

After a week of hard running my legs are feeling it. But on the bright side my core and arms feel good and strong so I like to think the cross training is working.

Photo randomness from the past week.

Fun with family involves fish bowl drinks with us. I love you giant margarita.

I had all intention of parading Max up and down the main street on Halloween. But I was so tired after working all day all I could do was watch The Great Pumpkin and make Max parade around the loft and hang out with me dressed as a hot dog. 

He was not pleased.
Have no fear Max there is always next year to humiliate you in public.
 Treat yo self day was awesome.
Christmas Made in the South craft fair. So large and exciting I guess I couldn't stand still. Found some fun items there.

Paws and claws looking half way nice. I always feel horrible for who ever has to touch my runner feet. But oh they look so nice. 

River side grilling to finish off the week. A great evening with my favorite guy.
Other weekend highlights include heading to Jason's Deli for lunch and free ice cream. Amazing. I am moving into this place. Any establishment that gives away free soft serve is one I can get behind. We also hit up Sam's for large quantities of fun stuff.

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! And congrats to all those racing this weekend!

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

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

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
