Dropping 50 minutes off my time from a year ago and only walked a handful of times. Will be practicing short sprints for the single track passing large groups was tough. #trailrunning #halfmarathon #marathontraining #strengthtraining

Another week down. Happy we found a gym with a pool for me to start swimming. Lap pools are so much different than swimming in a pond, who knew 🤷 #marathon #training #swim #strength #raceweek #halfmarathon

Weekly wrap up leading into training weekend. Next week’s the #backcountry #hm in highlands ranch. Another busy week for work, almost like everyone’s scrambling to get submittals in before the holidays 😅 #marathon #training #strengthtraining

My first community run that wasn’t a race yesterday was a lot of fun! I almost stepped on this little guy on today’s run. From what I can tell, it’s a western terrestrial garter snake 🐍 #runsky #running #marathon #training #snakes

Yesterday was a nice run at sunset. #running #runsky #easyrun

One workout done. Another licensing test this afternoon, and of course work decides to demand 3x what it has over the last few months in 3 days. Can’t catch a break, oh well, that’s life! #marathon #training #runsky #running #earlyrun

Back at it for the week. I wish my team would’ve handled more of the work while I was out than wait for me to get back and finish it. Autumn is my favorite season #running #runsky #marathon #training

Tried to get back into my normal rhythm and should’ve just done an easy run instead. #runsky #running #sprint #marathontraining

That’s a wrap on our Ireland/Scotland anniversary and birthday trip! 11.5 hour flight and layovers to get home. Excited to be back to a regular schedule and start my #marathon training program #travel #scotland #ireland #halfmarathon #garmin

Only a minute off the prediction, surprised and pleased. Really sore though and likely will be tomorrow. Finished the day with a wine and italian food to celebrate being closer to 40 than 30 now #runsky #halfmarathon #running #glasgow #ajbell

It’s #raceday! Excited for the #AJBellGreatScottishRun. Finally made it to Glasgow late last night and had amazing food at #MharsantaRestaurant&Bar. Between the travel and sickness, my focus is having fun. #runsky #halfmarathon #running #goonemore #grateful #bday

Our trip to #Ireland is coming to a close. What a brilliant trip it’s been. Now, off we go to #Scotland! #belfast #kilkenny #dublin

If I hear one more American complaining: Why don’t they have seats? Why do I have to wait? Why can’t I use the bathroom without paying. Why is that blind person sitting on the bench, my feet hurt and I want to sit!

Calling them out makes me rude, apparently.

Exploring #Dublin by foot and hit new #garmin step records. A 20k and 30k step day, then a slow one today to recharge by going on the Cliffs of Mohr tour. #vacation #travel #marathontraining #ireland

We made it to #Dublin! It’ll be interesting to see how running in the rain will be this week. Only 8 days until the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run #hm event! #runsky #training #travel

An unfortunate last week. I got food poisoning last Saturday and have spent the 4 days leading up to Dublin sick as can be. Finally feel 90% back to normal today for the next 20 hours of travel. Really excited to visit Ireland and see what all it has in store!

Good start to another week of #matathontraining! Hectic work schedule this week

Listening to #myfirstmarathon podcast, it made me reflect on how far I’ve come and what difference one year can make #garminwatch #training #runsky

Another week down of training. Building back up the mileage for the #AJBellHalf the beginning of next month. Excited for a break and vacation #marathontraining #strengthtraining

And that’s a wrap! Ready for the week ahead. #marathontraining #training #runsky #running #strengthtraining

Another week down. Time to start ramping back up on weekly mileage to prepare for the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run in October. #offseason #running #marathon #halfmarathon #destinationrun

Another day, another workout, happy though I’m seeing some benefits from the effort. #offseason #strengthtraining #marathon

A good start to the week yesterday, even though I’m already sore today. #offseason #strengthtraining #marathontraining

Long #run to finish the week with some strides thrown in. Also, I had the best intern this summer! Still haven’t found out how he knew about my #jurassicpark obsession #offseason #summerintern #civilengineer #marathontraining
