I am a mom of 2 girls and married for 5 years to my sweet husband. Growing up, I was always involved in sports. I was in great shape and never had weight issues. When I became pregnant with my first is when the weight issues started. And for every year since I couldn't figure out how to lose the weight. I finally have motivation and I'm finally doing what I've set out to do. I am now in training for a marathon which was something far from my comfort zone. I was NOT a runner. EVER. But through my journey, I am now. And I love it! Thank you for reading my story and please if you have any questions or need anything please feel free to email me! I hope to motive and inspire all who read my blog.

Weekly Miles

This week was way better than last! I ran a total of 41 miles!! New record for me!

Monday- off due to shin pain from the horrible run the day before.
Tuesday - 8 miles 1hr 11 min
Wednesday - 4 mile run 36 min also did a 3 mile hike with the fam.
Thursday - only 2 miles in....crazy day but ran uphill for 1/4 mile and then back down. Repeated 4 times. It was crazy hard!
Friday - rest
Saturday - 8 miles @pace 1hr 6min
Sunday - 16 miles!! 2hrs 27min!

Todays run was another record! 16 miles!! I can't believe I did it and without dying! I felt really good actually and I even took a very hilly route! I was very proud of myself. I can't believe I made it! And with a great pace too! Right around 9'14 per mile. It was awesome! I'm very comfortable around the 9 minute mile pace. When I get under 8 though, my legs burn and I start to wear out. I think in reality, I'd be perfectly happy not qualifying for Boston and having an average pace of 8'30/9 minutes. Although thay 8'30 is super close to the Boston qualifying pace....we'll see :)
