marathon

a measure of progress

July 2, 2015      47 Comments

I find that it's hard, in the heat of the moment, to see progress along any kind of journey. Be it fitness or weight loss or anything where we start from Point A and move along a steady path, I think we remain too close to the matter at hand. My head tells me that I've done good work. I have ...

epiphany

February 19, 2015      13 Comments

It's been just over a month since the marathon, and contrary to what more experienced marathoners have promised, I am not laboring under any kind of "runner's amnesia." I am still quite adamantly opposed to running another 26.2 miles. Ever. I guess it's a case of "know thyself." And I know, ...

Mr PugRunner drove us back to the Dolphin, where I hobbled, barefoot to our room (much to the amusement of the valet). In the car, I had chowed down on a tube of cinnamon applesauce (yes, it was the best applesauce ever), and was looking forward to a scalding shower, and a dip in some epsom ...

race report: wdw marathon {1.11.2015}

January 19, 2015      54 Comments

I was awake before the alarm. In fact, I had only managed 40 minutes of sleep the entire night. And that's being extremely generous. There was nothing I could do but shower and change into my race clothes. Mr PugRunner was incredibly sweet and supportive about it, but that didn't stop me from ...

I am home. And I am a marathoner. I have a lot to process. It was a crazy, hard, wonderful and emotional weekend. I'm having all the feelings, and I think I'm just too tired to make sense of most of it. Thank you for all your kind thoughts, messages, encouragement and love. You are all so ...

weekly recap: 9/7 – 9/13

September 15, 2014      21 Comments

It's the second week of September and Week 12 of marathon training! I don't know why, but it is starting to feel so incredibly near. All our ducks seem to be in a row as far as travel and the rest of the weekend are concerned, so it's just a matter of those pesky 26.2 miles. Easy peasy. It's been ...

Today was one of those days. Everything just worked right (even coming off a migraine). 

Days like this are always a treasure.

I hope your run brings you joy today ❤️

Every month this year, I’ve been committing to s Every month this year, I’ve been committing to some kind of wellness challenge. 

January ➡️ planks
February ➡️ balance

Lately, I’ve had the urge to get back in a gym. Kickboxing is out for right now but I think I could take on boot camp or spin. 

Then I felt a little guilty about spending the money when I have some weights and bands at home, our neighborhood has a gym, and I have a surgical procedure on the horizon (boo, wisdom teeth), so I thought I would work my way up to group classes by starting at home.

Day 1 done! ✅ with an assist from @sweetlunapug!

All action for today’s 10 miles! It was hot and my ankle was a little cranky, but thanks to a change in route and some awesome pacing from @montarriba, it got done!
