This picture pretty much sums up how I feel about 2014 so far. Running Finish another five half marathons in five days. Done! Loved it so much I’m already scheming about one for 2015, plus pieces of two other series. I love Mainly Marathons! Run 14 16 half marathons in 2014. 10 down! 6 more…

1st quarter in the rearview mirror
Despite the weather, 2014 is off to a fabulous start. I ran a LOT of miles in the first few months: 144, 115, 200! There was some creative managing and I ran way more miles on the treadmill than, well, ever, but in the end, I pretty much nailed my training. I maxed out at…
Ready to take on 2014!
I don’t love 14 like I do 13, but that’s ok, it can still be an awesome year. I’m a “goals not resolutions” girl, so this format for goals really kept me on track last year, so I’m trying it again. Running Finish another five half marathons in five days. I’m super excited to be…
Closing out my lucky ’13
I proclaimed last January that 2013 was going to be epic. Was it? Maybe. It was definitely a challenging year with some awesome highs and some scary moments. In the end, I’d have to say that while the year was not perfect, it was pretty darn good. So how did I do on my goals?…
Well, that was expensive + 1 more month
I’ve only gone shopping on Black Friday once in my life that I can remember. My first year working as a professional I went a little crazy at Macy’s buying work clothes. But going crazy in the women’s department at Macy’s is a bit different from camping out at Best Buy three days in advance. …
Call me crazy
So, I’ve started looking at my plans for 2014. In fact, I’ve started registering – 6 already paid for and 1 I’ll be registering for tomorrow. I’m finding two problems: I’m missing 1 race for the 13 in 79 days (found one) AND I’ll have a race every weekend for 6 weeks. I’m not worried…
So, how are those goals workin’ for ya?
At the beginning of the year, I declared “This year is going to be epic. I just know it. After all, 13 is my lucky number.” So far, this year has indeed been epic. I’m on track for 13 half marathons in 2013 and that sets me up nicely for 13 halves in 79 days…
Reevaluating and rebalancing
Recently, Beer Geek and I met with our financial advisor. We are in touch with him fairly regularly, but this is the first time in a while that we’ve sat down and reevaluated our goals and what we are doing to reach those goals. We discovered three things: Some of our priorities have changed and…
Getting back on the horse
I kind of took June off. I exercised (some). I ran (a little). I walked (not much). And I’m feeling it. In the tightness of my shorts. In my mental state. It’s time to get back on the horse. While I don’t need to train for anything in particular, I do need to get back…
A girl in search of a goal
I think I’m feeling a bit of post race blues. I didn’t run yesterday, but not because I felt in any way like I couldn’t. My legs were a bit tired, but not at all sore. I spent three hours with Shoo and a classmate walking around the (very hilly) National Zoo with no issues….
Goals Revisited
At the beginning of the year, I declared “This year is going to be epic. I just know it. After all, 13 is my lucky number.” And so far, it has been. I trained hard, I broke myself, and yet, somehow, I accomplished my big goal of finishing my five half marathons in five days. …
Lucky 13
This year is going to be epic. I just know it. After all, 13 is my lucky number. But, you know, even if it’s not epic, that’s ok. I’ll be more than happy with another year of raising healthy, happy boys, hanging with my wonderful husband, spending as much time as possible with my parents,…
