running, health & inspiration
The first thing I had to do as I began to write my 2016 Year in Review, was to calculate how many races I ran in 2016. I opened up an Excel spreadsheet, looked through my Instagram feed, and began adding each race date, name, and distance. I was shocked when I concluded with this…
I’ve run a total of 12 marathons and this course / experience was one of my top favorites! #runCIM
Yes, that’s right! On August 7th I hit that magical mark… 1,000 miles year to date! My morning’s run of 6.45 miles brought my year …
A few weeks ago, on a early Sunday morning training run I had a close call, a very close call. We all know it is safest to run in the daylight, but with 10+ miles on the training plan, sometimes there just isn’t enough time in the day. On this particular Sunday morning I knew I needed to run 14 miles. I had carefully planned a 7 mile out and back course. Throughout the run I felt great. At mile 10 I was still feeling great, that is until my close encounter.
Running a marathon is quite the feat! Running six marathons in less than four years is cause to celebrate! Here is a reflection of my first six marathons in less than four years.
