Yep, I'm still here! While I didn't blog often in the first place (let's be real, I just spend my time pestering Matt to write blog posts since he runs about 20 times as much as me) but unlike Matt, I actually have an excuse 😉 I've been dealing with an injured ankle/foot for a... Continue Reading →
Now What?
I sat down with the intention of writing a race recap for the Hyannis Marathon, and I just can't bring myself to do it. To sum it up, it went better than I had ever imagined it could. I was shooting for sub-4, and surpassed that goal by running a 3:50:24. I felt... Continue Reading →
T-minus 7 Weeks!
After a week and half of resting post ruptured-ovarian cyst, I had a nice, full week of training last week. I ended up being slightly shy of my goal for the week, but made the decision that going from 9 miles in a week to 50 the next might be a bit much. I started out... Continue Reading →
B.A.A. Half Marathon 2016
I hadn't planned on running the B.A.A Half Marathon this year, but a few days before a spot opened up so I decided to go for it and test my half marathon legs. I've been training for the Cambridge Half Marathon coming up in November so I thought if I can run a tougher course a month... Continue Reading →
Colorado 2016
The past few weeks have just been me getting back into it after some toenail issues. After my last blog post in August, I realized my toenail was bothering me again. Instead of waiting until it got really bad, I went right back to the podiatrist and asked her to just permanently remove that portion... Continue Reading →
Colleen’s Update
Hey guys, I do still exist! And I still run! Life has been a bit crazy - I started a new job and spent some good time with my favorite physical therapist for a few different injuries. Thankfully, I'm feeling more settled and less injured now, and ready to start training again. We're also starting... Continue Reading →
Maine Huts & Trails
It's been a while since I've blogged, but to be fair it's been a while since I've run! 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 →
Bear Mountain 50 Miler – Week Twelve Training Recap
Here we are, at week 12, with absolutely no sign that week 11 happened. But it did! and I wrote Hale 6 Hour Race Report instead of a normal training recap. Sure, I could do both, but I am already running 70+ miles a week, so that seemed like a bit too much work. Sadly, I am... Continue Reading →
Bear Mountain 50k Training – Weeks 9 & 10
Well, as I'm sure you read in Matt's post, I've been on the struggle bus the past two weeks of training. I threw out my back, got a respiratory illness of doom, and had various other issues personally. Needless to say, my running has definitely suffered, but I'm determined to get back on the horse and... Continue Reading →
Bear Mountain 50k Training – Week 8
Well, I threw out my back this past week, so a lot of my runs were ruined. My week started out with a nice easy run on the esplanade where I called my family during their dinner and chatted with them during my run - it was lovely! Wednesday I had to do 7 miles, but... Continue Reading →
