Marathon Weekly

Guess what I decided this week...
Can't wait, who else is joining me in April?

Week 13 the heat has come and gone and finally in Fall weather, I was much smarter and felt great this week.

Monday: 21 mile Bike and core
Tuesday: Strength with trainer 4.5 mile of ¼ mile speed intervals and Evening 5 mile run coaching
Wednesday: 4 mile walk and Dance: 90 minute class one and only!
Thursday: Run 8 miles and strength/core
Friday: 21.7 miles 3:08:44 (8:44 pace)
Saturday: Change of plans, instead of pacing I was the medical team! 2 mile walk in afternoon
Sunday: 14.3 miles 1:58 (8:16 pace) I tried UCan for the first time since my bad experience with the plain last winter and I love it! 1 serving pre-run and only water during and I felt great, could have kept running. Last mile was 7:26!

Week 14 marks the start of work for me, so things will get interesting as I learn to fit in workouts and family time.

Monday: 4 miles in 31:00 done! and core
Tuesday: Spin in morning and Evening 5 mile run coaching
Wednesday: Pilates
Thursday: 10K Race
Friday: Strength
Saturday: Easy Run 6-8 Miles
Sunday: 10 Mile Race with additional 4 miles. Strength in afternoon


How was your week? Have you tried UCan?

    Congratulations for getting into Boston, and good luck with all your training until then!
    Running was a breeze when I worked part time, but now I'm full time I get tired easily. You'll soon get a routine going!

A few Races...

Image
Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car. Grandmas this is strike 3, I think I am done!  I spent the car ride home thinking of next races and wondering if I could jump back in, (dumb I know). As we drove...

GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

All runners know that post marathon week(s) are filled with the fight to keep eating healthy yet indulge a little. I try to carry healthy snacks wherever I go to avoid the munchies. Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved! Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free. Thrive is currently available to purchase online and will become available to Whole Foods this month! GoMacro is offering 30% off to all my readers with code Thrive30 for online purchases Here The Thrive Bars come in 6 flavors: Caramel Coconut, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, Blueberry ...

And guess what I got so excited after I mixed it up, I never even took a picture of my yummy creation! Any fun snacks you’ve been eating lately? So what else is going through my mind today…This weather sucks and I continue to stalk the forecast for Dopey! Guess what we get on Monday, -50 wind chills!! I thought last weekend was bad, yikes! I can’t wait to be in sun and warmth, I see people complaining about running in upper 70s but I figure I’m not racing so I plan to have fun, enjoy the weather and be happy being warm! Now on top of this we are ...
