Last night was a "recovery/easy" run...of 5 miles! It wasn't horribly hard, but the runs are getting quite time consuming and I'm starting to feel the added mileage in my legs. I purposely slowed down quite a bit to take it easy on my shins and ankles. I ran once around my neighborhood and down to Northbend and back. The hardest part about the run last night was the fact that my shins still aren't 100%. I've gotten new shoes, tried to run slower (it's hard for me not to push myself, especially at group runs), and have tried to ice them (it's also hard to find time to be able to sit still long enough to ice my shins. Last night I iced them while cuddling with Ava before she fell asleep! Moms=Multitaskers!) I'm trying not to be nervous about my long run this Saturday...9 miles.
Oh, and I tried the jelly bean carbs last night on my run just to see what they'd be like and they tasted just like candy! Yeah! I'll be using those Saturday!

This blog will follow my marathon training, fundraising, and my experiences with Team In Training.
About Me
- Kristen
- Cincinnati, Ohio
- I am a stay at home mother of two girls, Ava-2years old, and Grace-2 months old. I am happily married to my high school sweetheart and I am attempting to run my second marathon. I ran the Flying Pig almost three years ago. I was disappointed in my time and blame it on training on my own, not knowing what I was doing, and the fact that I was unknowingly pregnant when I ran the race. This time around I am training with Team In Training, working with coaches, running with friends, and raising money for cancer research. I am certain this will be a life changing event for me.
