So Much Running…So Much Fun!

Running next to my best buddy is 10 x’s the best, especially it this lovely land. We stayed in on Friday night and had a very low key dinner with a few extra carbs to prepare for our big Saturday adventure. Then we woke up, ate some oatmeal to give us super powers, smiled for…

We Ran 35 Miles Today…

…and now we are very tired and our stomachs have turned into sinkholes. We will tell you all about our run tomorrow, after we have slept and eaten everything in sight. Good day all!

All About the Iron

It stopped raining! Woohoo! But, it got very windy today and a “cold” front came in…which means it was 55 degrees this morning when we ran. I will still take this over a foot of snow. Just sayin’. We did an easy 6 miles this morning, which means we hit about 1.5 minutes slower than…

Jazzed Up and Silly Jobs

Yay! Fast tempo today! I am feeling like I am getting my confidence back, because it disappeared for a while given my pesky injuries. Coach wanted me to do a one mile warm up followed by a certain pace for 6 miles and then a cool down. I beat his pace for the 6 miles…

Rain, Deliciousness, and Big Goals!

It has been quite the rainy day here on the island. We started off the day with another yummy bowl of steel cut oats. Then we got nice and wet on our easy 12 miles this morning. It’s really not too bad, though, when you are dealing with 65 degree weather and rain. Warm rain…

Cruisin’ to Dinner and Givin’ It My All

Vacation life is not too bad. We set sail with Captain Gary (my dad-in-law) last night To go and enjoy some island dinner with friends This is our ugly view from the restaurant. We are working on our blogging skills, but we forgot to get a shot of our actual dinner. I had a Baja…

First Day in Paradise

We are now in paradise, so there will be many more appealing pictures on the blog for the next week. Like this one from this morning Yep, that’s just a few dolphins putting on a show for us while we ate breakfast. The trip was blessedly uneventful yesterday. Just about a 30 minute delay, so,…

Snow Mountains, Improvising, and Drastic Change

Well, we had quite the snow in Kentucky last night. So, we improvised. I started the morning off with some toast and coffee. I find this to be a great combo for me before a tough effort. I like the mix of caffeine and carbs, while also keeping it light. We then trekked next store…

Chores at 5:00 am and URC Grocery Tip

We got in a run this morning. 8.3 miles and it was windy! They are predicting quite the blizzard to hit the Ville today, so we wanted to get in one more solid run before possibly getting snowed in tomorrow. This is Todd getting ready for the run… …and this is Todd unloading the dishwasher…totally…

Just Get to the Next Aid Station

Nothing too exciting in the URC household in the past day. I had a ginormous plate of vegetables and beans for part of my dinner last night before heading off to a meeting. And a little more strength training and working on my injury prone areas this morning. I want to jump right in and…

Frolicking and the Good Stuff

This morning was snowy. It is the first time this season for a big snow, so I had to put on my game face before heading out. It was a double glove day, too. I wear gloves that cover half my fingers and have a flap that comes down over the top of my fingers…

Vertical Bello’s, Self-Improvement, and Rocking the Mopping

It was cold city again this morning, and I am trying to save my legs a bit for all the ridiculously sunny and warm running that we are anticipating for next week. Our workout this morning went something like this: 2 sets of fast stairs (3 floors up and 3 floors down) 2 minutes of…
