Meaghan Runs

Week 4 of training for the TCS New York City Marathon marathon is in the books and I have to say this was another solid week! Even if my long run was a tad bit miserable 😝

We made ice cream in our packs on Monday! I absolutely demolished my speed workout on Wednesday, and suffered for 14 hilly miles on Saturday (but it builds character)! I didn’t lift as much as I should have so we’re bringing that back in week 5! I swapped my long run with week 5’s long run so I didn’t have to worry about 14 miles while traveling!

It was also a great week at work, babysitting, and the run club pool party with all my favorite people! I even went to the driving range to hit balls for the first time in forever!

I’m treating week 5 as a down week of sorts but I do have 2 workouts planned! And I get to check running in a new city off my list this coming weekend!!

How’s everyone else’s training going?!

July sure was a great time!

I’m really enjoying training for the TCS New York City Marathon! My plan has been throwing some fun stuff at me and I’ve been crushing the workouts! I really owe all of this to being happy. Big life changes can be scary but they can also lead us to the best versions of ourselves! I spent too long dulling myself down and being ashamed of various aspects of my running journey; but I’m leaning into my people and finding support in new and exciting places!

I can’t wait to see what August has in store for me!

Week 3 of training for the TCS New York City Marathon is in the books! This week saw a bee sting, hill repeats, and a long run that felt superb 🔥

I’m enjoying lifting twice a week and sprinkling in a kayak adventure here and there! I’m also just enjoying life SO much right now, it’s insane how being happy can just make so many things better! 😊

Week 4 will be a down week of sorts, but I also might switch that to next week since I’ll be traveling and don’t want to find a place to run 14 miles 😝

How’s everyone’s training going?!
