Short Run Felt Strange But Got Some Good Speed Work Done
Short assessment #training run today. Felt good but seemed way too short so put in little extra to at least get a #5K in. #HWI #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon #Run4Water
Dropping Some Winter Run Layers
Another warmer morning #training run, though a bit wetter than I realized it was going to be the night before. The cold running layers are starting to come off. #HWI #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon #Run4Water
Finally Seeing Some Daylight On My Morning Runs
Weather is warming up, but still a good temp for a morning run. Had a little foot pain at the start today was a little concerning, but after about a mile things felt good. #HWI #training #HessLakeRun #Run4Water #GRMarathon
No Wind, Perfect Conditions For A Run
No wind, perfect conditions for a run. It was warm enough that’s for sure. Glad to be back outside. #hwi #HessLakeRun #Run4Water #training #GRMarathon
Who Wins A Marathon?
As I continue to reflect on my marathon, and look ahead to future runs, I thought this was a timely article. I’m always encouraged by the words of more experienced runners. I am honored to have finished something that most people in the world never will. Sometimes the Marathon Wins, but That’s the Point | Runner’s World

Moving On From A Marathon…It’s Really Not About Me
So today is the 2nd day since completing the marathon, and unfortunately I find myself in more of a discouraged state than in celebration of my accomplishment. There are many things going through my head, many thoughts that cause me to be more disappointed with marathon Sunday. Nothing played out like I had hoped. I ended up coming in behind most of all the other marathon runners from our group despite leading the pack throughout training. I didn’t get to cross the finish line with my running partner, or my kids. I ended up walking most of the last 4.5 miles. I ended up going to the medical aid tent after crossing the finish line. I have no photo of me crossing the finish line….
