2015 Philadelphia Marathon Race Recap

-

Right before the finish line **sorry in advance, there are a lot of pictures.  It was a mini runcation for us too, not just a race ~ scroll to near the end for the race recap** It's been about two months and I still don't think I've fully processed my marathon and all the emotions attached. This was my second marathon.  My first was in 2010.  It took me 5-1/2 years before I was ready to run another one, even then I'm not sure I was really ready for this one. It was an emotional weekend all around.  We spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday visiting Philly for the first time.  It's a beautiful city. Officially my second favorite city after Boston.  I love the historic cities. Thursday night I made chia seed pancakes. I have come to love them for my fuel. They are natural, healthy and give me lots of energy! I'm so grateful to my friend, TW, for introducing me to these! Friday morning, we put Tink on the bus, finished packing and hit the...

Dynamic Runner App (sort of review)

This is sort of a review. I've not really done reviews so I'm not sure what to include, but here goes... I spent way too much time trying to pick a workout that fit my time schedule (full-time on-line college takes up SO much time because it's ALL reading, plus the assignments. I feel like I'm just teaching myself all these new concepts because there's very little professor interaction. Ok, sorry, mini rant over). Running is the easy part right now of trying to be healthy again. Don’t get me wrong, going through C25K (again) is hard because of how out of shape I am. BUT it's easier for me than trying to pick a good strength training routine. I like parts of everything I find!   I've used Melissa Alcantara and Sandy Sklar in the past, both from the Playbook app, with great success. I especially loved Melissa Alcantara's workouts but they are usually an hour long. There are other workouts I've used too but everything seems to take so much time.  Then I...

Forgotten Philly Facts and Weekly Wrap Up

ADDITIONAL MARATHON NOTES If you read my post, Philadelphia Marathon Recap , then you saw that I did a few things different this cycle.  I forgot to include two of the changes I have made. I bought an Orange Mud Hydraquiver this summer and have been using that with handheld water bottles, when they are needed.  I have a bladder that I've never fully enjoyed using. The hydraquiver works perfectly for me. Most of the time I forget that I'm even carrying all that fluid on my back. I'm super thrilled with this purchase. The biggest change I made this cycle has to do with my footwear. Anyone who has known me for 5 minutes, knows I wear VibramFiveFingers . They are what I started running on the road with in 2009, and except for when I sprained my foot in 2015, they are all I have ever run with. I have tried Merrill Gloves but they just don't work for me as well as I'd like.  This cycle I an old injury in my big toe joint, on my right foot, started acting up. On the...
