Running the inaugural Lansing Half Marathon in Lansing Michigan this weekend. My husband’s aunt and uncle live nearby and he wanted to go to do this race, so I agreed to join since Miami went so well. Forecast is for a chilly 1 degree but going up to 11, so hopefully it is warm enough for shorts by the start or my compression sleeves and 3/4 tights will be a major fashion faux pas! Looking forward to the weekend away and the break from our little puppy too. I am starting to love him a little more but he is a big added time sucker. 

Am hoping for a steady race, but not too concerned about the time as my main focus is shorter distance and so have not built up the same endurance / speed for the half distance. I would be happy with anything of 1:42 or better. 

Till next week. 

Hi and welcome to my new blog. I am going to try to update at least weekly, with news on training, life, interesting articles, and information on triathlon, running and anything else I want to share that I have found around the internet.

We have a new member of the family. His name is Farley and he is a Goldendoodle. With more Golden than doodle, so that means he sheds:)…but he will be a wonderful dog when he is full grown and fully trained! Right now he thinks Jada is a chew toy and our clothes are things he can latch his little sharp teeth onto and tear.

From a training and racing perspective, I did my first half marathon in 3 yrs in Miami in January. It went great

 and did it on little long run training. I finished in 1:38:17 for 12th / 1000+ in my age group. I am doing another half next weekend in Lansing Michigan. Michael and I ran at the same time and he also did great. I am also planning on a few triathlons of sprint and Olympic distance thru the summer.

The home physio biz is continuing to grow and remains busy . I still love the flexibility that working from home provides me and my family. I am also still continuing with coaching some triathletes and runners.
