Life lately

Life has been pretty busy again since Thursday.

Friday night I enjoyed some scrapbooking time (my other hobby love) and then got up early to run with team in training for the first time since my 10k back in April.  I am not running anything for TNT anytime soon but they still encourage "Alumni" to come back out- I did just that.


As you can see..... there was QUITE the MOB that came out Saturday to run It was great to see familiar faces - two in particular- Nate who blogs over at Wags the Runner and Mandie who both were training for spring runs when I was.  It is amazing how much you miss seeing certain faces and catching up with the friends that are TNT family. Anyway, so Mandie and I caught up over 7 miles of hot sweaty running.  It wasn't always easy, but it was totally worth it and a good time

I haven't been good at taking pictures lately, but this is a pic from after tonights crazy 3 miles in very hot and humid conditions. It didn't make it easy but glad I went. I stopped and talked to a guy in the park who had 3 little miniature schnauzers... this was special to me because growing up our family dog was a schnauzer and I love the breed to this day. They are great dogs to have and the perfect size in my opinion. They were the cutest darn puppies I had to talk to him just to pet them and soak them in.

Monday night I ran 4.5 down by the river in Harrisburg and it was pretty nice. Hot and humid but the little breeze helped out a little bit.  Unfortunately, I didn't get to do the extra workout things I wanted to.. I think that my body was taken over by the weekend exhaustion and heat.  I ended up coming home, eating, showering, and was on the couch by 10:30pm (which if you know me at all, this is about 3 hours early) and asleep shortly after.  

So that's where the week has taken me so far!!

How have you been sweating pink these days?

    I love that you run sometimes with a group... it is so motivating.

    schnauzer's are by far the best dogs ever. I love my little guy!

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas wi...

2017- a killer year for running

Image
Can you believe that we made it through 2017 and here we are at the start of a new year full of new goals and possibilities? 2017 was a mixed bag for me. Running-wise it was fantastic, but other things not so much at all. Looking back at all of the things I have accomplished and all of the miles I have tackled make me feel nothing short of amazing. Incredible. Strong. BADASS. I wanted to do a quick run down of all the races I did this year. I didn't blog on all of them but I thought it would be fun. I ended up doing 18- YES EIGHTEEN races this year ranging from 1 mile to 100k (62+ miles) with a total of 1540 miles which is my highest mileage yet. So here goes, you ready?? 1.  Squirelly Tail Twail Wun  - 2/26/17, time 2:26:34. This was a super sweet, muddy race. The temperature was cold but not frigid and I had a course PR. I had so much fun and it was a great first race of the year for me. I plan to back in 2018 for year 4. 2.  Chambersburg half - 3/11/17, tim...
