17 Miles in the Books

JenelleMargaret

Was in West Bend this weekend and decided to hit the Eisenbahn Trial to get in my 17 miles. https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/eisenbahn/ Earlier in the week I printed off an online map to prepare some bathroom and water stops. For me- it was about 1.5 miles to the trail – winding down some residential streets and hitting the trail around the 10 mile marker- I began my journey. Heading north along the trail I passed several parks and the conservancy. 3.5 ish miles in was Barton Park. A little single field baseball diamond, little tikes playground equipment and a pavilion with bathrooms … Continue reading 17 Miles in the Books

Fantastic day & Dinner

JenelleMargaret

Yesterday at the Badgerland strider fun run at south shore in Bay View. I was able- thanks to my hunny- to run 8:42 a mile for the 3 mile fun run. After the heat, the shin splints, and the antibiotics needed last weekend I am very pleased with the pace he helped me achieve. #RUNt is back! As always they serve a fantastic array of food and berverages after the run. RUNt on! Continue reading Fantastic day & Dinner

RUNt 26.2

JenelleMargaret

Last year I ran my first marathon. Motivating myself to run longer and longer distances was tough. It required some lifestyle changes – no more sleeping in on Saturdays, no more late Friday nights, more nutritious eating habits… but in September it all came together and I completed my first marathon in roughly 4 hours and 30 minutes. Most runners have some runnerisms – thoughts that cross their mind as the past each mile marker. For me the 20 mile mark is where things start to get even tougher, I really started to wonder why on earth I PAID money … Continue reading RUNt 26.2
