Can we talk about how, in a week, I will have ran a HALF MARATHON? Seriously. One week from today. It’s a little surreal. I mean, how long have I been talking about this? I only registered for it back in January. Oh I remember January. I was about 10 lbs lighter than I am [...]

Half Marathon Training: Week 12 Recap
Thanks for all your sweet words about my engagement. It’s still kinda crazy to think that what happened last week really happened, but I’ve always seen how “life events” and really show you the type of people you have in your life, and I know I’m really lucky to have the support system around me [...]
Half Marathon Training Recap: Week 10
I know, I know, I’m sitting here blogging when there are fireworks to be watched and kegs to be tapped (umm…was that the right? Do you tap a keg? Jeez, college wasn’t that long ago!). But since it’s cloudy, I hate beer, and I live on the outskirts of a beach community that’s known for [...]
Half Marathon Training Recap: Week 9
I’m back to tracking my workouts! And honestly, I’m feeling better about it since my last, kinda whiney post (which was perhaps a lesson in, “some things you should just write and then not publish,” but I digress). I feel like I’m more in control of myself as far as eating and working out than [...]
Half Marathon Training: Week 8 Recap
Wowza, am I really two months into half-marathon training? Well, the race is TWO MONTHS from Tuesday, so I guess so. Now the real…fun?…begins as the long runs keep getting up there in mileage. My PDR is 7 miles, so after next week, I’ll really be in uncharted territory there. Before I go over my [...]
Half Marathon Training: Week 7 Recap
Hey! So I slacked on my recap yesterday, so I wanted to post it tonight. BTW, I’m taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Student has a lighter schedule for the summer and letting him do more of the cooking these days. But if I do cook (or…bake…) something worth sharing, you know I will. [...]
Half Marathon Training: Week 6 Recap
Hey all! I hope you’re having a lovely holiday weekend, if you have today off, of course. I’ve been kinda lazy and anti-social this weekend, but I think we all need our me-time sometimes, you know? And my “me time” includes staying in my pajamas and reading (American Wife? SOOO good. I haven’t been into [...]
Half Marathon Training Week 5 Recap
For some reason, this week made this whole “training” thing seem more real. I guess because now we’re officially 3 months out from the race. And the “long runs” are getting…well…long! Yikes… Here’s what I did this week: Monday: I don’t remember, but I think I did some extra stretching. I know I took Nina [...]
Half Marathon Training Week 3
I am pretty proud of my efforts this week. I made the time to do all my workouts, didn’t sacrifice sleep, and had some pretty good workouts, if I do say so myself! I also tried to keep better track of what I did, for blog and record-keeping purposes. Please skip to the end if [...]
Half Marathon Training Week 2
Another week, a million to go (or at least, that’s what it feels like) in my training. I’m definitely still in the OMFG what was I thinking mind-frame, and I’m battling strong feelings of insecurity (which should surprise no one who knows me) about my ability to do this…but I’m just taking it as it [...]
