Cinnamon’s WTF-Is-Going-On Racing Story – Part 2

Cinnamon’s WTF-Is-Going-On Racing Story – Part 2

Kyle Gorjanc Posted by Kyle Gorjanc on May 1, 2019 3 Comments

When we left off with my story, I had taken over a year away from training or racing after showing symptoms of overtraining, but had tried a half marathon for fun and felt ready to try a comeback. I had a job working on a TV show and signed up for NYC, hoping I could balance marathon training with a full time production schedule, something I’ve never done before.

Newsflash: It wasn’t easy. The 65 hour weeks, early mornings and late nights made running tough. Luckily my department was led by an awesome group of ride-to-work cyclists who never once complained or minded my running to work or changing clothes on the truck. In fact, I don’t even think I was the one who was changing my sweaty clothes on the truck the most! We had lots of locations that were 5-7 miles away, a perfect 1 hour commuting run, and, while we shot into the night often, there were very few true overnight shoots. I managed to squeeze my long runs in on Sundays and got a few speed workouts here and there, mostly by hitting up the treadmill at good old Planet Fitness in the wee hours of the morning, 2, 3, 4 a.m. Since I have so much experience with the Hanson’s plan, I trained with that; those long marathon-pace tempo runs were the hardest. Somehow, though, I managed, with my crew cheering me on the whole way. Read more >>

Running is My Anchor in the Chaos

Running is My Anchor in the Chaos

Kyle Gorjanc Posted by Kyle Gorjanc on January 11, 2017 10 Comments

lakeAfter a season of holiday hustle and social obligations life can really start to seem like a blizzard of snowflakes blustering all around us, chaotic and unrelenting. But for me, that’s normal.

Around here I’m known as the resident Salty Running Tech Wizardess™, but by career I’m a freelance filmmaker. And as a freelancer I never know where my next paycheck is coming from. I’m always hustling for a job, always on the lookout for the next opportunity to make a buck, to stay ahead financially. I’m constantly switching up the puzzle pieces of my life looking to maximize these opportunities.

And I love this life! I love being busy all the time and constantly having a thousand things to do, so between movie gigs and coding for Salty Running, I overextend myself with involvement in social organizations, dive headfirst into overwhelming projects and am constantly taking on too many obligations with friends and family, often only to have to suddenly disappear for days or weeks at a time to work on this commercial or that film.

Add running into the mix, and you can probably see that this life is unsustainable.  Read more >>

My First Marathon

My First Marathon

Salty Posted by Salty on September 24, 2012 24 Comments

The day you’re born. The first day of school. Your first kiss. Your first day in a real job. These are almost universal monumental moments in any girl’s life, but in the life of a marathon runner another milestone will always be notched in our memories: the first time we toed the line and finished a marathon.

Start Corrals

Maybe your first was slow, or maybe it was faster than you dreamed. Maybe it wasn’t quite what you hoped or perhaps it was the best race ever.  But no matter how it went, you’ll only ever have one first marathon, and in that it’s special.

Today, we share memories from our first marathons and hope to hear about yours as well.  And this fall as you embark on your big race–be it a marathon or a mile, be it your first or your fifteenth, whether you’re a veteran road warrior or still considering if the marathon is for you–we hope our stories inspire you and maybe make you laugh a little too!
