I seem to get sucked in to these races that I've been a part of for years even when I'm not supposed to be racing! This past weekend I was scheduled for 8 miles as part of my condensed marathon training plan, but ended up racing in Sayville Running Company's Race to Cure Cystic Fibrosis 4 miler on Saturday. The race was pretty awesome, and I'm glad I ran it--just one short year ago I was at this race on my daughter's due date watching my … [Read more...]

A friend from work mentioned she was doing a 5k. A 5k? I was a year … [Read more...]
Weekend Race Recap + Creating Habits
I ran a 4k this Saturday (2.48548 miles in case you were wondering) completely unattached from a running stroller (no strollers allowed). After diving into two track workouts last week (which totally boosted my confidence and reminded my legs how to run fast) I was definitely hoping to see some results.
