So tonight was an exciting milestone in my running career - my first track workout. I added speed work to my routine for the first time probably 6-8 months ago. I was finally convinced that this was the best way to get faster but wasn't quite sure how to go about it at first. Because my … Continue reading Let’s Hit the Track!
This has been the best weekend I have had in a long time...and I have a lot of great weekend so that's saying a lot.

Do you ever have just one of those days... Well, that's not quite accurate. Today wasn't all bad. I actually posted a record-breaking tim on my tempo run but I certainly had my fair share of frustrations. Tempo Run - 3.1 miles, 23:53 (PR) Let's start with the good.

These babies have been with me for a whole … Continue reading Goodbye Old Friend, Hello New!
Where to even begin?! Clearly, I had a great race but let's start from the beginning...
