Hi! My proud weekly posting has fallen to the wayside over the last few months, but I am back and better than ever. Between running and Italian class and work and PATC volunteering I have been busy busy busy. And my big race is in 10 days! Crazy how time flies when you’re having fun.… Continue reading

miles on miles on miles
You guys! I am tapering!!! Wahoo! I can’t believe Rim to River is a few short weeks away. I’ve spent this training cycle trying to be as low key as possible about this race to ensure I didn’t freak myself out. I had such success this spring being so low maintenance about all my races,… Continue reading

a very great weekend of running
I am happy to report that I had a much needed, confidence boosting weekend of training! If it hasn’t been obvious enough on the blog, I have been whine whine whining about training throughout the summer. The conditions have been horrible, I’m constantly dehydrated, my skin is chafing in new and cruel ways, and I… Continue reading

this week #69
Happy September! I know it’s not technically fall, but I’d love for Virginia to start reading the room and cool down.

goodbye, July!

Fortunately, I still don’t feel myself urging fall to… Continue reading

Hi! It’s been a minute. I finally started feeling better after two weeks of illness, and then I hit the ground running. At the same time, Patrick started feeling sick a solid 10 days after I would’ve initially infected him. Sleep was not pretty last week. Patrick was coughing up a storm and Alaska was… Continue reading

this week #64
Happy Friday! I hope you’ve been having a wonderful day. It was a weird week over here at Casa Nicolini Mannon. Our sweet dog Alaska had a series of really hard days and we were very concerned. We took her to the vet on Wednesday and she seems to be doing better, but is generally… Continue reading

Please enjoy this guest post from Patrick 🙂 Whenever I told someone I was running my first 100 miler, their usual response was to ask me about the longest run I was doing… Continue reading

You guys, I did it! I rounded out my spring racing season with Falling Water 100k in the beautiful New River Gorge of West Virginia! Long story short, it was super fun and also hard. I had set a random goal of 16 hours and ended up finishing just under 17. I am so good… Continue reading
