Fort 4 Fitness {Half Marathon Race Recap}

In September of 2013 I ran a 1:43:38 half marathon just 1 year and two and a half weeks after having my first child- that was my personal best.  Averaging a 7:54 pace, I was not sure if I would ever be able to beat that. Fast forward two years later and just 1 year […]

Running a Half Marathon Without Training

Running a Half Marathon Without Training

Oh by the way, I ran a half marathon last weekend without actually doing a real training plan for the race.  On Thursday of last week I thought, “it would be cool if I could run the Carmel race this weekend with all of my friends.” There is just something about the feeling around a […]

Body After Baby {6 Months}

When I started writing about my journey after having my awesome son, I really thought I’d be done by now.  I thought every pound would have shed off of my body and I would be on to writing something new each month.   Here I am, month 6, and I am still writing about my […]
