Salt Lake Marathon, 2012

by Torrieon April 23, 2012April 23, 201217 Comments on Salt Lake Marathon, 2012

I don’t even know where to start with this post because so much has happened and I have so many emotions going around my insides about our first marathon experience (and possibly only full marathon experience, lol) that I’m afraid I’ll leave something out. But you’ve got to start somewhere, so here goes: I’ll start …

Big Day Jitters

by Torrieon April 20, 2012April 20, 2012Leave a Comment on Big Day Jitters

Although this was a poster created about the Boston Marathon earlier this week, this is exactly how I feel knowing that it’s supposed to be warm weather tomorrow. What a way to kick off my first marathon, huh? Oh, and last night, I had my first tossing-and-turning, dreaming-all-night-about-waking-up-late-for-the-marathon episode. I won’t be sleeping a wink …

Marathon Training, Week Fifteen

by Torrieon April 16, 2012April 16, 2012Leave a Comment on Marathon Training, Week Fifteen

Well, here we are, folks–we are officially into marathon week. Can I get a “YIKES!” from the crowd? So last week was my last full week of marathon training. It felt rather weird, actually, because you’re supposed to taper down significantly the week before a race, and so I just felt kinda lazy. I mean, …

Marathon Training, Week Fourteen

by Torrieon April 9, 2012April 9, 20122 Comments on Marathon Training, Week Fourteen

I found out something interesting about myself as a runner this last week–usually, I am the kind of person who likes to know everything there is to know about a subject, or at least as much as is feasibly possible, within a very short amount of time. I usually find that being well-informed about something …

Marathon Training, Week Thirteen

by Torrieon April 2, 2012April 2, 20121 Comment on Marathon Training, Week Thirteen

Well here I am, less than three weeks away from marathon day, and I’m still thinking that this training will just go on forever. Matt keeps saying how he can’t wait until “this dang marathon” is just over and done with, but I think I’m going to have a harder time. I once read something …

Marathon Training, Week Twelve

by Torrieon March 26, 2012March 26, 20122 Comments on Marathon Training, Week Twelve

This is about how I felt on Mile 17 of Saturday’s long run–in need of a solid bathroom break and with no finish line in sight. But I did it! I really did it! I ran 20 miles straight without having to stop to walk once! I’m still kind of in disbelief, actually. As a …

Marathon Training, Week Eleven

by Torrieon March 18, 2012March 18, 20121 Comment on Marathon Training, Week Eleven

Remember when I said that my motivation was directly proportional to the temperature outside? Well, apparently my suffering is also directly proportional to the temperature outside. If the temperatures are bitterly cold, I have no motivation, but at least the run itself is pretty easy. If the temperature outside is a beautiful, sunny 60-degrees or …

Marathon Training, Week Ten

by Torrieon March 12, 2012March 12, 20121 Comment on Marathon Training, Week Ten

Besides these awesome “motivational posters” that I found this week on runnersworld.com, it’s been a tough week of training. First, we had the freak snowstorm at the beginning of the week, which prevented me from going out for any kind of run until Wednesday. And then, when Mr. Winter finally decided to cut me a …
