Hello everyone! The three months since I wrote my last post in February certainly flew by! Here we are at the end of May and my journey to becoming an IRONMAN is complete! As many of you might have seen via Facebook, I completed Ironman Texas in 12:54:45, more than an hour below my goal time of 14 hours. I started to give a glimpse into training in my February update and…
Alright, it’s time for another post from a guest writer….John! When I wrote my first post about 2 years ago, I thought it would be fun to guest write once a week or at least every couple weeks, but, here I am two years later with my second post! I know, you’re pumped. I felt like today would be a great time to update everyone on my latest training endeavor, since today marks…
You know that point that you reach after having a baby? That one where the weight seemed to be falling off and then all of a sudden it’s not anymore? But, you’re all like “hey, I still have 15 pounds to lose” and your body is all like “yeah, I’m totally done with that weight loss stuff”. Plus, you’re nursing and there is that fine line between losing weight and losing your…
This post should be titled “Photo Shoot of Two Really Adorable Running Fans and Two Blurry Running Photos”, but I thought that would be a little too long. Well, John and Jose finished their 2nd Detroit Marathon yesterday! John’s time was 4:20.02 and Jose’s time was 4:30.57. Pretty awesome if you ask me! Sarah, Alex, Parker and I were all there to cheer them on =] They were extremely proud of these…
I don’t usually talk about my running on here other than to update you all on my latest long run, but John’s post last week inspired me! I first caught the running bug in college. I was never a runner before then. Like John, I played soccer for years and years. Once that ship started to sail, I figured I needed to find something else to keep me in shape. Luckily I…
Good morning, guys! Hope you all had a fun and relaxing weekend. We have a very special treat for you today at Reineke Ramblings; John is going to start contributing his two cents to the blog! Woot! Here is his first post =] Enjoy! ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– Hello all, Since Sam has been blogging for just about a year now I figured it was time that I chime in and tell it how it…
Well, he did it! After months and months of getting up before the sun to train, John finished the Detroit marathon along with Jose! It was a gorgeous day in Detroit, and we had a lot of fun watching and being in the race atmosphere. My dad came with Sarah, Alex and I down to Detroit early on Sunday to cheer the guys on. We made it just in time to see…
Last weekend was the big Reineke Family Run in Findlay, OH! It was a dark and cold start, but John finished his half marathon in 1:54:31! I ran the marathon relay with Lauren and we rocked our leg of the race! It was a lot of fun seeing everybody (especially both sets of grandparents and Aunt Julie)! John’s dad ran his first half marathon and he did awesome! Vannessa and Julie took…
