March Running Wrap-Up: Some running and a lot of yoga
April 10, 2022
I’ve been easing back into my running mileage as I recover from plantar fasciitis (and I hope it’s gone for good at some point!). However, this allowed me to do a lot of yoga during March. Here’s how the month went: I ran 72.9 miles. This is not a particularly high-mileage month for me, but … More March Running Wrap-Up: Some running and a lot of yoga
These are my running goals for 2022
January 4, 2022
In 2021, I was successful in meeting three of my four goals. The year seemed to go well, so my 2022 goals are pretty similar, with a few tweaks. They are challenging but reasonable. Keep up the monthly 1600-meter runs for speed and run sub-8:00 by the end of the year. Back when I was … More These are my running goals for 2022

Getting faster and moving every day during March
April 5, 2021
I didn’t have any races during March, but I used the month as an opportunity to get faster and run in some different locations. I ran 90 miles. It’s always nice to hit 100 miles in a month, but I haven’t done that yet in 2021. I was happy with 90. I also happened to … More Getting faster and moving every day during March

But after nearly a decade of living in Salisbury, I still hadn’t run at Northside Park until recently. My boyfriend … More I finally ran at Ocean City’s Northside Park!
