Marathon: One Month Out
Today is October 10. This means that one month from today I’ll be running the Richmond Marathon! I still have the 20 mile long run to do, but after that, it will be time to taper (reducing my mileage until the marathon). To be honest, training for a marathon is not at all as scary as I thought it would be. IT took me two years of running half marathons to finally decide to run a full. I thought training was going to suck. Not really sure why I thought that, since I love training for half marathons! My longer-mid week runs were what I was worried about. They didn’t…

What I’m Loving Right Now – Marathon Training Edition
Monday marked two months until the marathon! I figured I’d write a post on some things that have been making training easier! Injinji Toe Socks I just ordered my second pair of toe socks for marathon training. They are a bit thinner than my previous pair, which make them perfect for the warmer weather runs. They are so comfortable and help prevent blisters on my toes! I’m a huge fan. Yes, cat feet are in the photo too. Tart Cherry, Mango & Strawberry Protein Smoothies Since ordering my new favorite vanilla protein powder, I make these smoothies all the time. I also love adding Cheribundi to it for the long…
