Today on my Facebook memories, a blog I wrote last May 31st come up, talking about how to deal with a bad run. In reading the blog, I was taken back to that run, and man was it a vivid reminder of a really bad run! I struggled and eventually threw in the towel on…
In the last couple weeks, I’ve been in contact with several running friends who are taking on the challenge of their first full marathon, and have been really scared to tell people about it. While I understand the fear of the unknown, it has really stuck with me why we are afraid to announce our…
Eventually, I was going to run an international marathon. It was inevitable, and I’m so happy I ran the Dusseldorf Marathon as that first venture outside the US. My husband was not able to join me, so I was flying solo on this one. I won’t lie to you, after the acts of terrorism in…
For the first time ever, I will be running 42.195 when I head to Dusseldorf in about 10 days. Yes, I know it is the same as 26.2, but for the first time in my running experience, the course itself will be marked at each kilometer, rather than each mile. I said something to my…
I have been on fire with the whole 26.2 mile distance. Starting with the Marine Corps Marathon (October 2015), I have now completed four marathons in about a five month period of time, and I still have one more to go (Dusseldorf Marathon, 24 April 2016) for the spring. Let’s not even get into my…
(Spoiler alert: there is SERIOUS bling involved!) Now that I’m a couple days removed from the Little Rock Marathon, I’ve had a chance to reflect on the experience, and the one word that keeps popping into my head is community. This race was embraced wholeheartedly by the entire community, and it showed. Runners were treated to…
Not three weeks into the new year and I was back at it, running my third marathon ever in Baton Rouge, at the Louisiana Marathon, on 17 January 2016. For some reason, I was very nervous about this race going into the last two weeks (and especially on race day); one thought behind that is…
This past week, I committed to running a total of 1200 miles in 2016, working together with my partner Brooke, so between the two of us we will put in 2016 miles for the year. As we discussed our team name, we tried to think about what this challenge meant to each of us, and…
Yesterday, I received an email saying that I had won a free entry into the Dusseldorf Marathon in Germany in April. And based on my race calendar, it would work perfectly for me to do this marathon. When I posted on Facebook page about this free entry, someone replied ‘Robyn Runs The World is overdue…
Sorry it has taken so long to get this together…it has been almost two weeks since I ran the Williams Route 66 Marathon (and Centre of the Universe 0.3 mi detour!), and it is well past time to get thoughts down. But with being on the road and enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday with family, well,…
