  1. RUN
    good Apple Valley, MN 8.2 mi 01:35 11:35 pace

    Finally! My first long run since my half marathon two weekends ago. I'm extremely proud of this run because a) I ran EACH mile in under 12 minutes! b) SWEATIEST RUN OF MY LIFE. You have no ide... read more

  2. RUN
    good Apple Valley, MN 5.01 mi 01:01 12:15 pace

    5 hot and humid miles. Felt good.

  3. RUN
    good Apple Valley, MN 4.16 mi 00:50 11:56 pace

    I think my eyeballs melted. 79 degrees is going to take some getting used to.

      I kind of wish it would stay in the mid-60s just so I can run! Not looking forward to running in the 90s!

  4. RUN
    great Apple Valley, MN 1.01 mi 00:09:05 08:59 pace

    Just ran the sweatiest mile running home from the gym. Booked it. Almost made a new 1 mile PR, but didn't have my watch so I wasn't paying attention (used RunKeeper).

  5. RUN
    good Treadmill 2.62 mi 00:29 11:02 pace

    Physically I was fine, but mentally I wanted to die. I woke up this morning itching for a long run, but I had 13 hours of work to go to, so this was as good as it got afterwards.

  6. RUN
    blah Apple Valley, MN 3.1 mi 00:38 12:23 pace

    5 hours of sleep, and then a 6:30am run with 20mph winds wasn't my best idea...

      No kidding, the winds are really blowing out there today! Way to get the run in in tough conditions.

    good The Rave Run @ Valleyfair 2.08 mi 00:21 10:06 pace

    Tonight's "5k" race got reduced to 2.5 miles because of course safety. As you can clearly tell, however, it was only just over 2 miles :/ I rocked it though and ran the entire thing!... read more

  8. RUN
    great Apple Valley, MN 2.37 mi 00:25 10:33 pace

    First run finally since my half marathon and it was absolutely AMAZING. Hardly any soreness at all during the run itself (no walking at all), and it just felt great getting back out there. I litera... read more

  9. RUN
    good Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon 13.14 mi 02:47 12:43 pace

    I did it, you guys!!! I jogged up until mile 11 and then decided I needed to walk for a few moments during the water stop. I also needed to stretch my legs (so stiff!). For the last 2 miles, I did ... read more

  10. RUN
    good Apple Valley, MN 2.5 mi 00:28 11:03 pace

    Another taper run, and then I did a half mile walk at the end. This run brings my April miles to over 60! (Which was my goal, boom).

    Also, MY SPLITS.

    great Apple Valley, MN 2.1 mi 00:24 11:16 pace

    Running the entire span of this loop has been a goal of mine for 2-3 years now. I've never ran the entire thing without stopping, and boom! Did it yesterday :) It was hot out, and that is defi... read more

  12. RUN
    blah Treadmill 1.01 mi 00:11:21 11:14 pace

    1 mile warm up on the treadmill. It was horrid. No idea how I could pull out 3, 4, 5, or even SIX miles on that thing over the winter. After this, I rowed over 2000m in 10 minutes! I was booking it.

  13. RUN
    great Apple Valley, MN 4.15 mi 00:50 11:59 pace

    Finally posting this! Saturday evening after working for 10 hours, I decided to set out for 3-5 miles. I did a little over 4 (ran the entire thing!) and felt pretty decent. My legs were soooo sore ... read more

    Another 2.62 miles for Boston tonight. This means I officially ran over 20 miles this week for the first time ever, eek! Kind of a blah run though. I was sore, so I didn't push too hard. Got a... read more

    6k trail race today! It was gorgeous, but the trail was absolutely brutal. Ice, snow, and uneven ground for probably 90% of it. I was so scared I was going to slip or twist my ankle, that I kept a ... read more

      You should totally do a 10k when you're ready!!! Even though this one was brutal because of the trail, it was a great one.

  20. RUN
    great Treadmill 1.09 mi 00:11:00 10:05 pace

    Just 1 quick mile to warm up before I lifted, stretched, and did a plank. Nothing too major tonight, but hey, better than nothing at all.
