Fall running

Yes! It is finally here. My ultimate favorite time to run is the fall season.

The season is far too short if you ask me. But the breathing is easier, the pace faster, and just overall cooler air makes my running so much more enjoyable. After the craziness of the summer sun and heat making us drip gallon after gallon of sweat, fall is a much welcome visitor. The only downside to fall is that the daylight hours are SO much shorter. I hate the long dark evenings.

Who else is excited about fall running?? Maybe you haven't quite gotten the cooler fall temps yet, but believe me they are on the way! It has been getting below 60 here at night which also means AMAZING sleeping. Who's with me! :)

I wish everyone luck who is running this weekend (or who already has) in races, long runs, short runs, whatever the case might be. I will be running my long run with a team in training friend tomorrow, and then sticking around to see some friends at the Harrisburg Half finishing up.

    I love fall for so many reasons the only thing I don't love about it is that it means winter is coming!!!

    Ahhh, you just got me excited! I love running in the fall, but it does get so dark, I am a morning runner. And I agree with Kim, not winter!!! But yes, I think of fall running as crisp and fun, I love crunching the leaves! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog too!

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...
