Tucson Half Marathon 2016

Back in the saddle!

Life is good.  Savoring every moment with my awesome husband and my most adorable 2-year-old son and elderly Newfie.  Recently weathered another deployment to a very hot corner of the earth and gained a lot of strength.

I decided to train for the Tucson Half Marathon in Dec 2016.  I am done marathoning, but I think a half is achievable.  The next few months I plan to follow my own training plan and try out some concepts in periodization and efficiency in order to balance work, family, and fitness life.  It would be great to run a sub-1:45, but I'm more excited for the journey than the destination.
