It’s here. I’m at my parents’ house, in my sister’s room (Thank you, Gweeb) reflecting on the day, my year, my training, and what comes at dawn tomorrow. We just got back from dinner a bit ago and it’s kinda…

The night before the marathon
by Pattie Reaves • September 29, 2012 • 0 Comments
It’s the night before the Maine Marathon. My third marathon. And I ran my first marathon a year ago this weekend. That’s a huge accomplishment and I’m proud. Two years ago I was running the couch to 5k and it…
Last long run before marathon #3

So I subscribe to this service Timehop Abe (I think I’ve only mentioned it about 100 times …) which sends me an email every day with what I did a year ago from that day. And that’s been particularly cool…
I’ve run more than I ever have this summer, and I still gained 5 pounds.

I don’t want to make another melancholy post about my recent weight trends but … it’s on my mind, its part of the experience, and to not write about it would be dishonest. First, take Tuesday. I know I need…
VICTORY! I ran 144 miles this month.

1. It’s silly awesome, but when I saw that I could possibly beat my previous “most miles run in a month record” this month, I ran just a little bit extra to say I did it. About a mile extra. 144…

The difference is cross-training

Taper time is almost done. The Sugarloaf Marathon is next week. I’d been feeling down about my training, as you know, and I actually have been interpreting the past week more like, “oh shit, did I really work hard enough…
Why am I so tired?

Wow, I went to write this blog post and I went to the link to start writing a new story for my work CMS. That’s a sign that I’ve been working a lot lately. I have been SO abnormally TIRED…
I was supposed to run 20 miles this weekend.

I was supposed to run 20 miles this weekend. I didn’t. This was a terrible run. I decided against doing this run at the Sugarloaf Marathon course before we even left; the risks were too great. And even though I…
