2018

Last year, the end of 2017, I felt a heavy weight thinking about the upcoming year. 2017 was a huge year for me personally and 2018 looked so dull in comparison. It was going to be a year of grinding work, knowing that the goals I set out to accomplish wouldn't be achieved in the …

Utah Valley Marathon Recap

What a race. What a day. But let's start at the beginning. I went to bed at 9:00, alarm set for 3:00 a.m. But I kept waking up afraid I had missed it. I woke up at 12:30, again at 1:30 and at 2:15 I never really fell back asleep again. My alarm finally went …

Marathon Training (Round #2) Thoughts

So, yeah, my blog has suffered this year. Law school is a bitch. Profanity is definitely warranted.

If you're new here, hello, my name is Elizabeth (@the_running_diaries on Instagram). I ran …

Sunday Recap: Week 14 and Week 15

Hi beautiful humans! I missed writing this recap last weekend but life was way too insane. We moved out of our apartment last weekend and into a house we are renting from Matt's parents, so I didn't have Internet or the energy to do a recap. But now I'm back! Week 14 Monday: 5 miles …

Sunday Recap: Week 13

Oh boy, was this a busy week. And weekend. Here's what my training looked like: Monday: 4 easy miles in the morning. After that, I tried to study but couldn't and then headed to my Contracts exam, which started at 1:00. It was brutal. Tuesday: I didn't have an exam, so I slept in a …

Sunday Recap: Week 11

Monday: 4 miles easy. It was also the last day of my Legal Writing class. I thought about all those Boston Marathon runners for these four miles. And was incredibly inspired by every one of them but especially the women. Tuesday: After class, I went to the gym and knocked out a leg workout. I'm …

Sunday Recap: Week 10

Oh boy, what a week this was. But I'm here, drinking coffee and listening to music with my cats on a nice Sunday morning. Monday: 3 easy miles at 9:58/mile pace. And more than a little anxiety about oral arguments. Tuesday: Up at 5:00 am. I did the Arms and Core Challenge from MBB Home …

Sunday Recap: Week 9

Hello, beautiful humans. It's been quite a week. If you've seen my Instagram, you already know that this was a rough week for me. It is probably the hardest week I've had since starting law school. We turned in our appellate briefs Monday and then it felt like the whole class was collectively hungover for …

Sunday Recap: Week 7
