You know what's crazy? Signing up for a race three weeks after a big monster race. You know what's fun? Running a race three weeks after a big monster race. The weeks following our half marathon were pretty pitiful, I have to admit. Justin and I intentionally took the immediate week after our race… Continue reading Birmingham Wine 10K
Post Race Recovery
A little delayed thanks to some crazy work days and sickness that took hold. The race is over, all of that hard work has been put to the test, so now what? RECOVERY! Just as we planned and worked toward a successful way to run our race, we also planned our recovery. Running 13 miles… Continue reading Post Race Recovery
The Day We’ve Been Waiting For; The Mercedes-Benz Half-Marathon Race
Well friends, the day has FINALLY arrived! Sunday February 10, 2019 the day of the Birmingham Mercedes-Benz Marathon Weekend! I believe, over the last few posts, I mentioned (somewhere) that it was crazy to think of how close we were to this day or that we only had a few weeks left. Now the actual… Continue reading The Day We’ve Been Waiting For; The Mercedes-Benz Half-Marathon Race
One Last Push!
Isn't that what they say during baby deliveries?! Haha, I wouldn't personally know. Unfortunately, this is not about bringing any sweet babies into this world but the last full week of training for Justin and myself before our big half marathon race. How are we practically already to this point in our training?! It felt… Continue reading One Last Push!
A few weeks out and getting our minds, hearts, and bodies in check.
Anyone else looking forward to February?! Our 3rd week out from the race looked a lot different than all the previous before, in a good way. Typically, our schedule for the weeks has been to complete 3 key runs; track repeats for speed, tempo runs for pacing, and a long run. In between these 3… Continue reading A few weeks out and getting our minds, hearts, and bodies in check.
3 Weeks out and a change of plans
Okay time, you can slow down just a little bit. This past week was different than what both Justin and I had anticipated. With the last 20 something weeks, we have worked to keep a really consistent training schedule (aside from a few breaks). This week was kind of a bust in that area. Justin… Continue reading 3 Weeks out and a change of plans
One Month Out
Well, here we are, one month until our race. A month used to feel like such a long time but now that we are quickly falling below the 4 week mark and the race literally feels like it's around the corner. Thinking about this stirs up differing amounts of emotions. Most of me is really,… Continue reading One Month Out
5 Weeks Left Until We Race
Well here we are, just a little over a month out from our big race and Presley says "It's go time!" (She's so cute, I couldn't resist posting her happy face!) I kept telling myself to get through the holidays. I don't know about you, but I feel like Christmas and New Years flew by! It's… Continue reading 5 Weeks Left Until We Race
6 Weeks Until We Race and Christmas in Texas
Happy 2019! Remember us, Run Box Run? It's been a little while, hasn't it? With the Holidays, our training became all sorts of chaos which meant so did the blog posting. We tried to maintain our day-to-day workout schedule but something more important always seemed to come up or get in the way. We had spurts… Continue reading 6 Weeks Until We Race and Christmas in Texas
Week 11: A week repeated a few times due to head colds, holidays, and hopping back to the grind.
Pretty sure I had to look back at my last blog post to remind myself what week we were on... oops. It's been a few weeks because a massive head cold hit the box household. Both Justin and I tried to push through our week of workouts only to find that we would make ourselves… Continue reading Week 11: A week repeated a few times due to head colds, holidays, and hopping back to the grind.
