Let's run a marathon (Recap Week 9 of 16)

03/18/2012 by Deanna +

While the rest of Pittsburgh and its vicinity was hungover from too much St. Patty's Day partying today, I was running. And running a LOT. I am back in the game and ventured into the unknown today with a 15-mile run, the longest run I have done to date. Yay! Here comes the recap: How I’m feeling this week: Pretty good. My weekday runs happened as usual, and today's 15-miler went well. I was in

Let's run a marathon (Recap Week 8 of 16)

03/12/2012 by Deanna +

Let's not sugar-coat it. I ran 13 miles total this week when I was supposed to run 26. I didn't cross train. And I went to bars more than once. And now my blog recap is up late. Week 8, past the halfway point, was bad. Let's get to it. How I’m feeling this week: Tired and not into it. Shin is still hurting. On Wednesday's run, my leg and the bottom of my feet were burning around mile 3ish so I had

Although I still have week 8 to go before I'm *officially* at the halfway point, my friend Autumn and I crossed into half marathon territory yesterday with a 13.1-mile run. I cannot believe I've still got 62 more days, though. Here's more on week 7: How I’m feeling this week: Pretty darn good. The last two

Let's run a marathon (Recap Week 6 of 16)

02/26/2012 by Deanna +

6 weeks down, 10 weeks to go. I officially hit double digits, people! Yeah buddy. How I’m feeling this week: I'm feeling pretty good. Kind of tired, but when it actually comes time to run, I feel good and ready to go. I keep the RICE-ing up, and that's helping. Just a bit of pain all up my left leg in today's long run. IT band? I will keep on stretching it out. But the shin splints are not bad at

Let's run a marathon (Recap Week 5 of 16)

02/19/2012 by Deanna +

Guess what I *didn't* do today? Run. Yep, I skipped my first day in week 5. More on that later. But, as I approach 6 weeks, here's the recap of this past week. {That picture above are my new kicks from my trip to Elite Runners and Walkers the other day. They're the latest New Balances in my collection, which I am prone to.} How I’m feeling this week: My energy from last week seemed to just go
