Don't be dumb in the first half, don't be a wimp in the second
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, life has been super boring and uneventful. LOLJK! So much has happened in even just April, I don't even know where to start. Why don't I start with the least exciting thing, which is that my cysts are gone and I'm cleared to run! (The fact that this... Continue Reading →
The past 3 weeks have been a whirlwind of change and chaos in the GrandElam household. On January 17th, I started a new job with Zagster, a bike sharing company based out of Cambridge. It's been absolutely amazing, and I'm so glad I took the leap and changed careers. My whole first two weeks were... Continue Reading →
I know I'm a little late to the game here since it's already 2017, but hey, better late than never, right? 2016 was a whirlwind of a year for me both athletically and professionally.

My shin set me back in my goal to run 1,000 miles this year, but I'm finally back on track after spending some time focusing on strengthening. After a few weeks of not running, I decided the smartest... Continue Reading →
After Bear Mountain, I took a few days off of running, but hopped right back onto that train and went for an easy 2 miler on the treadmill the Tuesday after the race. I rested Wednesday because my legs were still feeling tired even after only 2 easy miles, and I was back out there... Continue Reading →
Everything went so well during my race! My stomach felt great! My knee only hurt for a little bit! My muscles were barely sore after! I escaped injury! Except I didn't. My ankle/foot started bothering me a few days after the race. It gave me some grief directly after the race as I hobbled... Continue Reading →
My IT Band recovery has been going pretty well these past few weeks. I have been icing at least once a day, stretching throughout the day, and rolling at least once a day. I've also been doing hip and glute strengthening exercises I used to do when I was in PT for my IT Band... Continue Reading →
