Except I’m not running a marathon.

I am not upset. I am happy.

It was an emotional few months. I don’t think I could have run a successful full marathon. Instead I ran my hardest at the Brooklyn Half last week. I have a new half marathon PR and the drive to continue to train and race to the best of my ability.

Starting tomorrow.

I am racing a hometown (famous) race! The Spring Lake Five has been a staple race for locals since the 1970s. It is a race that is special to the Jersey Shore communities. It is also a fast race. I plan on running it fast.

I then plan on hanging out with my family and friends. I need to get as much time in with this little bear as possible!

Lily is ready for summer!

Also (because I know you’re DYING to know) my workouts last week were great! I am teaching 3 spin classes/ week and I love it!

Monday 5/13: OFF

Tuesday 5/14: AM: 6.2 mi run, easy pace. PM: 60 min Refine Method.

Wednesday 5/15: 6 mi speedwork. 3x1000m (6:59, 7:12, 7:05), 4x 30 sec on, 1 min off.

Thursday 5:16: 45 min spin (teaching)

Friday 5/17: OFF

Saturday 5/18: 13.1 mi race. Brooklyn Half Marathon (1:42:42, 7:50 avg). New PR!

Sunday 5/19: 45 min spin (teaching)

Total for the week of May 6-May 12:

Running: 25 miles
XT: 2 hours 15 min (1x Refine Method, 2x spin)

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND! Catch you on the flip side….

What I Drank Wednesday

Welcome to the first edition of “What I Drank Wednesday.” It is much more interesting and successful than any meal I try to concoct in the kitchen (and does not result in the smoke alarm getting ripped out of the wall)!

Sam Adams Summer variety pack

Note: The Porch Rocker is 100% my favorite.

Note: This margarita did not turn out how it should have. I used Monica’s brilliant recipe but did not freeze the watermelon. I’m going to try again. I’ll keep you updated.

That was fun.
