The Fairest Week In Review: 10/25

October 25, 2017August 30, 20212 Comments

Needless to say this week was not my greatest triumph. Oh well; next week is rest week too and then after that hopefully I can start getting back to normal.  Sunday | rest  Monday | 40 minute abs and arms sequence  Tuesday | rest I decided, in anticipation of the marathon, to do NONE of my regular exercise this...

The Fairest Week In Review: 10/18

Hey, remember that time when my knee started bothering me and I wrote this whole post about how I took some unscheduled rest days and sometimes you have to do that and then you’re all better yay? Hahahahaha PSYCH. Oh, man, guys. This isn’t good. I have a marathon THIS SATURDAY and while this is self-diagnosed I am 97% sure I’m...

The Fairest Week In Review: 10/11

October 11, 2017August 30, 2021Leave a comment

As I mentioned yesterday, I developed a minor injury last week that’s put a serious cramp in my training style. I’m tapering for the Baltimore Marathon anyway, but I’ve had to skip more runs than I’d like all the same. Still, if it takes not running at all to not have a miserable marathon, then that’s what I’ll do....

In Which Jenn Doesn’t Hurt Herself Worse For Once

October 10, 2017August 30, 2021Leave a comment

During my run last week I experienced some mild knee discomfort, on the side. Just a sort of stiffness, really. It mostly subsided afterward, so like an idiot I just taped it up and ran again the next day. Thankfully this didn’t create a firestorm of pain, but the twinginess definitely did not subside. And so, when my next scheduled run...

Ah, yes. Back to normal. More or less. (I wish it was less. Beach, I miss you!) Sunday | rest Gearing up for… Monday | ran 20.16 miles on the treadmill in 3:25 No, it wasn’t that bad, I swear. But it wasn’t, like, good. What is it that makes a 20 mile training run so much more painful than...

In Which Jenn Runs 20 Miles Thanks To Jeopardy

October 2, 2017August 30, 20212 Comments

I didn’t have to do it. There were a million reasons not to. I had the remains of a splinter in my heel. I suspected I might be fighting off a very very low level cold. I’d already run a 17 miler, and that’s been enough marathon prep in the past, right? But it was on the schedule, so...

In Which Half A Marathon Wasn’t Enough

September 26, 2017August 30, 20212 Comments

Don’t judge his grammar here; he’s not a morning person. (Also: pork butt.) One of the perks for locals of running the Parks Half Marathon was historically that the race ended right in downtown Bethesda. You could finish your race and then stroll straight home! But then they do say all good things must come to an end, and...

In Which Jenn Goes On A Running Food Bender

Let’s see, how to explain this. Have you ever… gone on a sort of… pre-long run food buying spree… like, way in advance… without planning it? Now that I’m officially training for the Baltimore Marathon, I gotta get those mega-long runs on the docket. And I have – I have a 15 miler, 17 miler, and 20 miler laid...
