Bay to Breakers Race Recap 5/20/18

Another fun Bay to Breakers is in the books! This one was my 3rd year in a row and it's always a good time. You can check out my past two recaps here and here. I went with a bigger group this year and we went with a fun theme, the Unicorn Squad. :)

Tunnel Light Marathon Training Week 4: 5/21-5/27

Week 4 of marathon training is in the books and it's still going well. I got in all my scheduled runs and workouts. School is starting to wind down for the boys. A little less than two more weeks to go. Crazy how fast it has gone. Anyway next weekend I've got a 5k to race so I'm excited about that. 

Let's take a look at what I did over the week. Here's a recap of what I did following Coach Dawn's plan:

Tunnel Light Marathon Training Week 3: 5/14-5/20

It's been another good week of marathon training! Got in all my scheduled runs and strength workouts. I did get a chance to post my trip report of our hike up Angel's Landing. If you haven't checked it out you can read about the amazing hike here. Highlight of the week was running Bay to Breakers over the weekend. It was a lot of fun!

Hiking Angel's Landing 4/29/18

The day after running the Zion Half Marathon we ventured to hike Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. I had heard about the hike before, but did not realize how mentally challenging it would be. I'm not usually afraid of heights but with the amount of people, wind, and steepness, I almost backed out of doing it at one point but realized it was my chance to do it at that moment. I had to give it a shot because who knew when I'd be back. I'm so glad I did because it was an unforgettable experience.

Tunnel Light Marathon Training Week 2: 5/7-5/13

Week 2 of marathon training is in the books and it went well! Got in all my workouts as planned and hit all the prescribed paces. I did post my race recap last week of the Zion Half Marathon I did a couple weeks ago and you can check it out here. 

Here's a recap of what I did last week following Coach Dawn's plan:

Zion Half Marathon Race Recap 4/28/18

A couple weeks ago, I ran the Zion Half Marathon put on by Vacation Races and it was so much fun! What made it so fun was the company and of course the beautiful scenery. Me and my friend Erin were reunited with our good friend Lenora that we had not seen since last summer so it was great that we were all able to catch up and do this race together.

Tunnel Light Marathon Training Week 1: 4/30-5/6

It's been a while since I've posted a Weekly Wrap post but I figure since I'm starting up marathon training (yes, I'm now on to marathon #3), now is the best time to get back into posting regularly. After CIM and especially after our trip to Japan, I kind of just took a break with the weekly wrap posts. It's been nice to take a break, however I'm excited to post again and hope you enjoy following along on my journey, training for the Tunnel Light marathon in September.

I'm working with Coach Dawn again. I'm on a 20 week training schedule. Here's a recap of last week's workouts following her plan:

Table Rock Hike 4/21/18

It was really nice to get in a hike last weekend. With no soccer game and no work, it was the perfect opportunity to get in some good family outdoor time. Hubby picked out a hike to Table Rock located near Calistoga, CA and it was a fun one!

Rock'n'Roll San Francisco Half Marathon Race Recap 4/8/18

This was my third year running Rock'n'Roll San Francisco Half marathon! You can check out my recaps of my past two races here and here. It was another fun one and it was neat to see the changes they made with the course! Turned out to be a perfect day to run on the Golden Gate Bridge!

Davis Lucky Run 10K Race Recap 3/24/18

A little over a week ago I ran the Davis Lucky Run 10K and it turned out to be an awesome run for me. I ran the race last year but did the 10 miler. This year they did not offer the 10 mile race but only the 5K or 10K. I opted for the 10K since I knew I had it in me to possibly PR having done Shamrock'n two weeks prior. I knew I had the endurance but wasn't sure about the speed. Another special thing about this race, it was also a big birthday for me, the big 4-0.
