Boston Prep 16 Miler Recap

January 29, 2012

One of my new favorite races is the Boston Prep 16 Miler in Dery, NH.  It got it’s name because all the hills serve as a good taste of Boston Marathon’s hills. Personally, I LOVE the downhills.  Some may say its stupid because it causes more pounding on your joints, but I love to power down the hills.  I make sure that I don’t go too fast that I get tuckered out and can’t go … [Continue reading]

I made sure that I got a run in today.  My girls … [Continue reading]

First Tempo Run of Training and MORNING workout!

January 3, 2012

I have been avoiding speed for a while now because I know its important to build up your base mileage first. Yesterday I incorporated some speed because I have been running more consistently and had a good yoga session. I wasn’t going light speed but it was fast for me right now.

4 miles
33:38
Avg 8:25 pace

Even better than including speed, I got up this morning and RAN with my friend Sarah! It’s … [Continue reading]
