Inadequate Fueling
Because I forgot to re-start my Garmin at one point during the end of the run (I have a bad habit of doing that lately) I'm guessing I ran around 17.8, but I'll take that. ... I thought I had eaten enough last night since I made a home made pizza (and ate half...but the pieces were small)

Prepping for a Long Run
Yesterday marked my longest and best run of marathon training! After last Saturday’s half marathon, I was feeling a bit defeated. My legs were hurting around mile 8 and I didn’t know how I was ever going to run 17 miles the following weekend. I ended up getting a cold on Wednesday, so I knew I had to rest some to get my energy back up for Saturday’s run. I ended up skipping Thursday’s run to get more rest. Friday night rolled around and I spent it relaxing. I did some knitting, lit some candles, and watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother (my latest addiction on…

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…

A 15 Mile PDR
Yesterday morning my running buddy Melissa came over for a long run. We have been running our long runs together for the past few weeks and its been enjoyable! Melissa is training for the Richmond Marathon too as well as a Triathlon. She’s running her Tri next weekend and I’m sure she will rock it! Anyway, we’ve been running through the countryside right outside Albany to make sure we’re getting our hillwork in. In the past, I’ve avoided hills but I’ve been meaning to run them more in preparation for the marathon as well as the Ragnar Relay we’re both doing in a few weeks. The Relay goes from Saratoga…
