I'm behind on my weekly recaps! I know that these recap posts aren't my most popular type of posts, but personally I enjoy writing them. I like reflecting back on my training each week and documenting it all down here. So stick with me please :) September 7-13: Monday: Labor Day! We were at the cabin, so Dustin joined me for my tempo run. I had 2 miles to warm-up, then 6 miles at a tempo Continue Reading
Fitting Remarks: The Psychology of Racing
Last Tuesday night, I attended a "Tuesday Talk- The Psychology of Racing" at the Mill City Running store. Have you been to Mill City Running? What a cute "boutique" running store! If you haven't been, definitely check it out. They host "Flapjack Friday" runs every week at 6:30 am. I went to one a few weeks ago and it was a blast! Back to the Tuesday Talk: This was a free seminar last Continue Reading

After the run, Dustin and I attended my friend Ericka's "Bells & Beers" Continue Reading
Fits do Race Reviews: Grandma’s Marathon 2015
Marathon #19- complete! I obtained my "Grandma's" experience, an experience that I said every good Minnesota runner needs to have. My Grandma's experience included a torrential downpour, a broken toe, AND a big PR! Let's start at the beginning. We drove up to Duluth on Friday, which is about a 2.5 hour drive from Minneapolis. We stopped along the way in the town of Hinckley, MN for Continue Reading
