Did I pass in October? I suppose any month that starts off with a half marathon PR (read about Wineglass here) can't be a bad month. With the half "monkey" off my back, though, there have been a wee bit of slacking going on. You decide. Getting in scheduled runs While there are still runs … Continue reading October 2017: Did I pass?

September 2017: Did I pass?
September was a good month for running with beautiful Fall weather -- right up until Summer decided to return just a few weeks before my Fall half marathon. One thing that wasn't good this training cycle? The speed work. For whatever reason, I was never able to hit my paces for speedwork. I can't lie; … Continue reading September 2017: Did I pass?
August 2017: Did I pass?
August was a month of good running, but I've let a lot of stuff slide that I really shouldn't. Let's not even talk about the length of my hair (and bangs!). It's kind of scary. 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?
May 2017: Did I pass?
The toll of three halfs in as many months began to make itself known in May. I am in awe of people who run marathons every month or a gazillion halfs a month. That's not me. Let's get into it. Getting in scheduled runs Cold, rainy long runs. Sudden 90 degree heat. Windy. May wasn't … Continue reading May 2017: Did I pass?
April 2017: Did I pass?
The great thing about running two halfs a month a part is that you really don't have to work as hard. Especially when you decide that the second half is just a training run (we'll see how that works). Let's dive right into how April went down. Getting in scheduled runs I had hoped to … Continue reading April 2017: Did I pass?
March 2017: Did I pass?
We continued with the weather whiplash in March, and we thought we got a lot of snow in February? Thanks to Blizzard Stella, we got almost twice as much in March. In one day. To say that made running challenging is an understatement. And then there was the cold! So how did I mange my … Continue reading March 2017: Did I pass?
February 2017: Did I pass?
I think February might be dubbed the month of self care, as in the month I got back into trying to take better care of myself -- so that I can care for others. The weather was wild and wacky: wind, cold, record breaking heat, killer snowstorms, freezing rain -- yes, all in one month. … Continue reading February 2017: Did I pass?
January 2017: Did I pass?
I may have been slacking (somewhat) on recording my fitness this month -- I used to do a monthly review in my journal. But I've never before done it online. I must say, after working on this post, I'm glad that I did (and hope that it becomes a regular Tuesdays on the Run topic). Getting … Continue reading January 2017: Did I pass?
