It’s taper time! Most of the time I don’t get excited about taper, but Ironman taper is something to look forward to. These last few months flew by. No new updates, just the usual…sleep, train, work, repeat (oh and eat). June was kind of a busy month. Jonathan and I took a mini-staycation to Sanibel…
Naples Fitness Challenge Race Recap
Hard to believe this is my first triathlon race recap of 2019 and it’s already June. Where has the year gone?!? This also means that Ironman Lake Placid is just around the corner and will be here before we know it (kind of freaking out a bit). BUT super excited to get back into triathlon…
Train Hard Recover Harder
Happy Monday! In honor of today’s rest day I figured I’d talk about recovery. Ironman and marathon training can take a toll on your body, but I wanted to share a few of the things I do to stay healthy and injury free with all the high volume. I know we are all pressed for…
Post Boston…Now What?
Hello! Yes, I’m still here. Just ya know, busy with Ironman training and life. If you’re wondering if the marathon blues hit…they did. Finishing a race is exciting yet hard at the same time. I think it’s extra hard because I love the journey so much and when you cross that finish line it all…
Boston 2019: RACE DAY Recap
RACE DAY is finally here! 5:45AM: Out of bed and lets get ready to do this! I ate a banana and drank some water to keep myself hydrated. The weather was showing a little humid so wanted to drink extra fluids (plus I had all the time to pee). The weather was iffy and it wasn’t raining…
Boston Marathon 2019 Recap: Part I
WOW! Where do I even begin with this one. The past few weeks leading up to the race are always a bit stressful, but this year it was different and I’m not sure why. Taper was exciting and I was more anxious than stressed. Normally I’m a cranky, sort of just a hot mess, because…
Boston Race Week Meal Prep
Before I get to all of the recaps of the race…I’m taking a step back to walk you through what Race Week looks like. I am very disciplined and make sure I’m eating super clean and getting the right amount of nutrients to prepare for race day. I don’t change it too much from what…
Boston Update: 2 Week Countdown
2 weeks to go folks till I take on my 2nd Boston Marathon. The past month has been a bit crazy and hit some peak mileage over the last couple of weeks. I didn’t peak like I did last year and only had one – 22 miler. The most I’ve run in a week is…
Marco 13.1 Race Recap
I haven’t done a ton of racing this year leading up to Boston so was excited to get another race under my belt before the big day. It was also a perfect way to make my 22 mile long run not feel as LONG plus it was nice to have company for 13.1 miles of…
