We have had such a nice week off for spring break. We decided to stay home this year and it has been just what we needed. Sleeping in, eating out, and spending time on the water! Easter Sunday: We went to church, ate lunch with family, and went fishing later that evening. Family photo before […]
It’s hard to believe it’s been over two weeks since I ran my second marathon at Virginia Beach. I got over my little stomach bug and rested three days afterward. I ran 4 miles Thursday, March 22 in my new Yuengling Shamrock gear. I definitely bought all things green at the expo, but this was […]
“For those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31 Throughout my training for this marathon, the Scripture Isaiah 40:31 was my mantra. I prayed this Scripture before and sometimes during […]
It’s already been one week since I crossed the finish line at Shamrock Marathon! I am still over the moon at how well it went! My husband and I left for Virginia Beach Thursday, March 15 and drove all the way to Charlotte to meet my sister for a late dinner. We ended up spending […]
I am so excited to say training for the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon has come to an end. I ran my last long run yesterday and we will head to Virginia Beach, VA on Thursday! Just my husband and I are going and I can’t wait. My last race was the Disney Princess Marathon weekend. I’ve […]
Wow, I can’t believe Shamrock Marathon race weekend is less than a month away! It has not been an easy training cycle. I’ve missed some long runs due to our busy schedule, but I’ve done much better than I did training for my first marathon. Monday: 5 miles The weather was humid but cold if […]
This will be a recap of the last couple of weeks training for the Shamrock Marathon. I can’t believe it’s only 5 short weeks until race weekend! Wow! So let’s go back to two weeks ago: Monday, January 29: 5 miles Tuesday, January 30: 8 mile midweek long run Look at that beautiful blue sky! […]
I’m a couple of weeks behind on my blogging so I will “run” through my training since the First Light Half Marathon on January 13. We had another Snow Day in South Mississippi on Wednesday, January 17! Not only were the kids out for MLK the Monday before, but they only went to school half […]
I have been trying my best to train for my second marathon (Shamrock Marathon in VA Beach) coming up March 18. My longest run has been 14 miles so far. My training plan called for 13.1 last week so I decided to run First Light in Mobile, AL which is a little over an hour […]
I finally had a week worth recapping so far this year! I ran 14 miles with my friend Katherine on December 30. I bonked at 11 miles the week before and thought maybe I could make it 14 with a running buddy. I was right, but it was still really tough and I didn’t feel […]
