Last week, I mentioned that my work trip was cancelled as I was needed in Minneapolis and it was good I was here! Work definitely was the focus last week as it was very busy; I was challenged with trying to fit in the running where I could. There was not a lot of time to focus on my marathon training- not a lot of time for double runs- or even single runs! Morning running was no longer optional Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Happy New Year!
Happy Sunday and happy new year! Just a short and sweet recap today. I have a few fun posts drafted for later this week, so definitely stop back in. The Phoenix Marathon is 55 days away (just under 8 weeks!) At least 2 weeks of that time will be the taper, so that leaves 6 weeks of hard work. I can handle that! Here's how this week of training went: Monday: Easy 7 miles in the morning Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: Trucker Hats from Mill City, Deck Removal, and Marathon Training.
Fall is here, but it doesn't feel like it in Minneapolis. We have had above-average temperatures all week.

[solidcore] is a fitness studio offering classes Continue Reading

Week of April 27- May 3 Monday: 7 easy miles with the run club Tuesday: I was stuck at work late this night and didn't start running until 7:45 pm.

Fits Do Fitness Class Reviews: [solidcore] MSP
I was recently contacted by the owner and "Chief Inspirational Officer" (love it!) of [solidcore] MSP to come try out a class at their new studio in the West End in St. Louis Park.* I tried it out tonight and am excited to share my experience with you! To be honest, I hadn't heard of this new studio yet...probably because they just opened on Saturday! Though I'm always excited to try a new Continue Reading
