Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I hit 20 miles for the week which is a lot of running for me these days but in line with what many weeks this summer could and should look like. Four runs, two back to back, one on the boardwalk — a really good running week! Last Week’s Workouts Monday – 5 Miles Tuesday […]
Last week was definitely a higher mileage week for me including five runs, three runs in s a row, and an eight mile run in the mix too.
With the long holiday weekend last week, I had included Monday’s workout in last week’s workout recap. As to not confuse anyone though, I’ll pop it back in today’s post as well. I don’t have a ton of additional details to share about my workouts other than saying that I like running every other day. […]
Happy Labor Day! I hope you are enjoying the long weekend. So I still don’t know where the summer went. Although if I look back over the last few months, the season was definitely highlighted by my weekly boardwalk runs. I don’t even think that I had the initial intention of running by the […]
Another week in workouts in the books for this summer! It really is crazy how the time is flying. Like we say about parenthood, the days are long but the years are short. Sometimes it truly does feel that way about everything. Anyway! I’ve detailed my workouts below so let’s get to it. Monday – […]
I didn’t get a trophy this year but I must say, I was really pleased with the race so let’s discuss…. I got real lucky that it didn’t rain during the race. I say lucky because the drizzling on my windshield as I drove to the race suddenly reminded me that I completely forgot to bring […]
Don’t let this scenic summer photo from Saturday’s long run on the boardwalk fool you. The bright sunshine was relentless throughout the run and trying to find a shady spot was impossible to the point where if I ever run this route again in the summer, I am considering one of those umbrella hats and won’t care […]
Where did June go? Has anyone else realized next Friday is the Fourth of July which means somewhere between now and then June will end and July will begin? I don’t even understand. It is all a blur. This whole week is a blur as well. A good blur of graduation parties, ceremonies, good […]
It’s Monday which means the first picture of the week will look like this: I didn’t have enough time over the weekend to lounge at the beach but I did squeeze in a seven mile boardwalk run Sunday morning. Speaking of Sunday, hope you had a Happy Father’s Day. Of course I brought my post-run breakfast to the beach […]
As promised, a picture from the beach yesterday. Only difference this week is that I took the beach pictures while running. How cool does the early morning boardwalk sun look in the sky? I did a lot of running this weekend between Saturday’s long run (13.1 miles) and Sunday’s boardwalk run (7.50 miles). I have a […]
Happy Memorial Day! My breakfast looks all festive, doesn’t it? Trust me, I didn’t do it on purpose. I hope the weather by you is as beautiful as the weather is here in New York at the moment. Now how could a race be anything but great when you are running in […]
When I turned 35 a few months ago, I entered a new age bracket. And, I have concluded that checking the 35-39 box isn’t half bad. I decided at the last minute to run the Robert McAvoy 5-mile race in Long Beach yesterday morning and actually finished second for my age group. The weather was icky, sticky and misty. The boardwalk […]
