I’m not crying. I’m not crying. Nope. I’m not crying, I’m just in disbelief that I suddenly have a four year old. FW turned four last week. He is no longer a baby, no longer a toddler, and sometimes when I look at him, I get a glimpse of what…

Wow – I saw SO much wildlife during this week’s runs! I don’t know what was up, but I saw some baby deer (so cute!), a turkey AND a giant snapping turtle.

Continue reading →: Another Weekly Mileage Record
Another week of some early morning running with nothing to train for is under my belt. And, while some days I feel like I’m getting faster (but not nearly as fast as I was earlier in the year), some mornings my legs are like lead and my feet hurt, and…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Marathon Race Week and Race Recap
Under normal circumstances, this post would’ve included a recap of my 2020 Cleveland Marathon experience. The taperingish the week of, followed by running the Challenge Series on Saturday and Sunday.
