I honestly and truly thought I had the whole chafing issue figured out. After my blog last year about this, I tried some new things and had great success. I thought chafing was in my rear view mirror, and marathon training for 2016 was full steam ahead. I was smug about having figured it all…
I used to DREAD the long runs. Living in Cayman, it is hot, humid and boring running (we don’t have great views of the beach when we run). On top of that, it can be dangerous because of crazy drivers and roads that are not runner friendly. But when training for a race – even…
As my blog name suggests, I love to travel! This week, I was fortunate enough to tag along with my husband on a work trip across the pond to London, my favourite city in the world! Between the history, visiting with friends and enjoying a new place to run, I can’t tell you what I…
Sunday: 3.1 mi Superheroes Kick Butt virtual 5K. I ran this in a very slow time, partly because it was hotter than Hell (which coincidentally, I live just 6mi from Hell in the Cayman Islands) but also because my legs were a mere 12 hours removed from a fairly fast 13.1 mi long run the…
The clock is ticking, counting down that I only have 42 days until the marathon! The good news is that I feel like I am ready. The bad news is that I want to be more ready, and so I’ll keep training as hard as I can to get me to the start line. Here…
With only 49 days (49! Days!) to go until Marine Corps Marathon, I find myself fading from the training a bit. Of course, I’m blaming it on the heat, as September has thus far been warmer than August, but I think part of it is ‘seeing’ the finish line ahead and knowing that I am…
I am ready for the summer temps to fade. I won’t lie. Running in this heat is no joke. Luckily I learned from my mistakes last summer when I trained for the Baltimore Run Festival Half Marathon, and I in spite of increasing my running efforts this summer, I have been healthier and happier with…
With another week under my belt, and only eight (8!) weeks to go until Marine Corps Marathon, I’m trying to stay true to a fairly challenging running regime. Sadly, I think the heat of the summer has finally gotten to me, and I find myself with very little energy in general, let alone enough to…
When I first got ‘serious’ about running last year (basically when I committed to running my first half marathon), I used to absolutely DREAD my weekly long run. There was nothing more torturous in my world than running for more than an hour by myself. Seriously. I think I would rather eat brussel sprouts! I…
