Running – Just Enough Tech

Registered For My First Marathon

So some big running news in my world. I’ve now committed to doing my first marathon with my first race registration. It is the Red Rock Canyon Marathon out in Nevada. It is along the scenic highway drive through that park and is supposed to have absolutely amazing views. It’s still a ways out, JanuaryContinue reading “Registered For My First Marathon”

Brand New PB 10K

Well, I broke 48 minutes yesterday morning. I am legitimately excited about this run as I kept my pace pretty consist at 7:45 with a sprint for the last half mile. It is still a far cry from 7:15 which is the Boston qualifying time but it doesn’t feel like an impossible thing to shootContinue reading “Brand New PB 10K”

Vegan Cornbread

Over Thanksgiving and Christmas last year, I discovered this recipe for vegan cornbread. It has quickly become one of my favorite hiking treats. They are so easy to whip together first thing in the morning. You can have them ready just as you drive out to your target trail head. I love that they areContinue reading “Vegan Cornbread”

New longest distance – 15.8 miles

Well, my marathon training is still progressing even with the number of COVID cases in Washington spiking again. It actually isn’t that bad running outside at this time of year. There aren’t too many other runners or walkers out there. I am using my hiking buffs as my running mask which I rarely need toContinue reading “New longest distance – 15.8 miles”

Bonkers Post Election Day Run

Hi all. It’s been a few since I posted. Work has been absolutely nuts with the pandemic. It’s been busy but a really good busy where each day the things I do I know have an impact. As weird as the social distancing and lockdown have been, there is a wonderful sense of reward inContinue reading “Bonkers Post Election Day Run”

Sub 50 10k

Well, it has been a long time since I’ve broken 50 minutes with my 10ks but today was the day. I think the last time I did it was about 6 or 7 years ago. This morning, I really shattered it going sub 49. Without a doubt, Noom has had a huge impact on myContinue reading “Sub 50 10k”

Still doing long run reverse splits

With the weather getting better, I am doing more running outdoors. That and my gym is still closed. I am following the social distancing guidelines so that means doing my runs first thing in the morning before there are too many walkers out and sticking to less crowded routes. It is kind of amazing howContinue reading “Still doing long run reverse splits”

Anyone doing the One Punch Man workout?

Well, it’s been almost a month and I know that my gym, Orangetheory, has been closed because of COVID-19. Most of us are in that camp now where we are on our own for home workouts. Running wise, that hasn’t really impacted me. I still throw on my runners and head out on the trail.Continue reading “Anyone doing the One Punch Man workout?”

New PB 12 minute treadmill run

Well, I guess I’ve been on a tear lately at Orangetheory. Yesterday they had a 12 minute treadmill benchmark run and I kind of crushed my previous best by almost .1 miles. I managed to do 1.94 miles with a negative split which I think means 2 miles is well within reach for me. IContinue reading “New PB 12 minute treadmill run”

200, 000 Orangetheory calories burned

Last night, I hit a bit of a milestone with my Orangetheory workouts. I broke the 200k calories burned mark for all time. I’ve been going to Orangetheory for over two years now to augment my running. I have found it to be a great way to get my core strengthening and speed training done.Continue reading “200, 000 Orangetheory calories burned”
