Marathon Training

Speedwork Payback

After my disappointing 15K race yesterday, there was nothing I wanted to do more today than SPEEDWORK.  Cause I'm hardcore like that. Back in the saddle!   I used the lap feature on my Garmin to time myself as I tried to do 400-meter sprints (about 0.25 mile).  In total, the Husband and I ran [...]

Miracle Miles 15K 2009 Race Recap

Eleven with the Ladies

Happy Sunday! :)   Last night, my late "linner" kept me pretty full until bedtime.  I snacked on a slice of whole wheat toast with Barney Butter and a banana-less Green Monster (just spinach, milk, and ice) around 9. I went to bed EARLY because the girls and I were meeting up for an 11.0-mile [...]
