4th weekend 10k

Finally getting a chance to get on and write a quick little something on my race from last weekend. This is the second year I headed to Carlisle to run this 10k. You see, it works perfectly for my summer training needs for my fall aspirations. What's better than running with a bunch of people for your long run of the week? Yea, nothing.

It was MUCH more pleasant this year than last. The weather was seriously over 15 degrees cooler (not exaggerating at all!) and gorgeous for a run. Plus, this year I had an accomplice who kept my pace steady and she and her little guy entertained us a little as well. I like doing this run since it goes through some nice neighborhoods of Carlisle, is pretty shady, and also somewhat flat.


The official race results seem to be no where to be found just yet, but by my watch we finished 6 miles in 58:34 which is good enough for me. I got some water then headed out for 1 more mile to get my training miles completed. Emily is training for the Bird in Hand half as well that I am doing in September.. also a training run for the bigger marathon event (still really weird). It fit perfectly in there and I am so excited to run with Emily as it will be her first. 

Did you race during the holiday weekend? Or enjoy a nice long run?

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...
