It was a resounding “YES” that you all wanted to see my marathon playlist. I am happy to share although I’m not sure that my taste in running music will appeal to everyone. It’s quite a mix of sounds! I have 107 songs – eight hours of music. Brandon told me if I need all of that, it’s going to be a long day on the course! Let’s hope I don’t. 😉
And finally, some pop/pump up songs!
What do you all think? Obviously, I love the Avett Brothers…
Let’s also take a moment to appreciate this:
Perfection! 😀
And a quick recap of the day…I took today as a rest day. I needed it after last night’s intense yoga class and I just had way too much going on to workout anyway.
I ate lunch at my desk because today was one of those day! So much to wrap up before I leave.
Leftover Greek-style quinoa on a bed of spinach and topped with Greek yogurt. Half of an apple on the side.
Easy was the theme of tonight’s dinner. We are running around like crazy people trying to get ready for our trip.
Pad Thai with tofu and shrimp and Asian veggie medley.
Brandon won the husband of the year award tonight with his craft project.
He made my race day shirt! It looks awesome and I’m so excited to wear it. I will post a picture tomorrow night. Also, please check back because I will be posting information on how to track me during the race on Sunday morning. Brandon will be live reporting! 🙂
Ahh…we’re leaving tomorrow!!!!!!! It’s finally here!

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
