Let’s Lift Each Other Up: June 2020
The weather in June was all over the place. Mostly lovely, so I can't complain. A couple of weekends were so chilly that one day I had to take my Yoga inside. Then it heated up quickly! Luckily I picked the right spot for my Yoga platform. It's nice and shady and even on days … Continue reading Let’s Lift Each Other Up: June 2020

So let's get right down to it. Getting in scheduled runs I skipped one run this month due to feeling … Continue reading August 2017: Did I pass?
July 2017: Did I pass?
I started rebuilding my base in anticipation of my fall half marathon. There was a bit of speedwork, some trails, some hills. But all in all, a month of easy running (and one low key, shorter race). It's been a nice break that I needed. I love to travel, but it was good to have … Continue reading July 2017: Did I pass?
June 2017: Did I pass?
It seems a little unfair, really, that as we reach the peak of our race training, many of the things that keep us in shape tend to fall by the wayside: good nutrition, prehab, cross training. Did that happen to me in June? You be the judge! Getting in scheduled runs I stuck to my … Continue reading June 2017: Did I pass?
