http://kristaduchenerunning.blogspot.com/2015/06/finding-healthy-balance-between.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2015. Finding a Healthy Balance between Competition. It has been 8 weeks since running my 2:29:38 marathon in Rotterdam, which gave me the standard. In the downtime after Ottawa, life was busy at home. The day after my return, Jonathan left for a week of work. Then I left for Calgary, the day after his return. Talk about two ships passing in the night! I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend in Calgary, providing the national half marathon broadcast for athleticscanada.tv. Saucony Video - Mar...

Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Raised over $54,000 for this year, and over $2 million nationally.

http://kristaduchenerunning.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Set Back Day at Montreal General - Another Day . in a New Office. So I successfully timed my toilet trips and pain meds, which allowed me to get 3 2.5 hrs sleep last night. Oh, what a difference that made. I felt much better this morning. My new roomie hardly makes a peep, and has two lovely daughters who rotate shifts during the day. One does 8am-2pm and the other 2pm-8pm. You really bond with those around you when recovering from surgery! Talking about how she finished this y...

Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Sometimes you have to look back to look forward. June 15, 2014. It has been seven weeks since my femur fracture and I continue to progress in leaps and bounds.

Although possibly similar, every situation is unique. I choose to disregard the negatives and focus on the greater steps to come. I guess I coul...

Wednesday, July 16, 2014. A Proclamation: Nine Months. No, I am not pregnant. It’s almost as good. I am running again! Well, jogging…but still! And I’m doing it with goals and dreams.

Monday, December 15, 2014. Mommy, please don't break your leg.". And we waited, carefully and steadily doing a bit more each and every day: walk/jog to running, cross training, weekly physio and massage treatments, orthopaedic appointments, and daily at-home routines. My rehab plan slowly but surely grew and transitioned back to my full-time training plan. And on November 8, my plan included competing again, just over 6 months from my femur fracture. Race, for the first time. Again, another shorter d...
