Running the race set before me...
They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit. With plenty of challenges to keep me on task, I’m moving forward, but not beating myself up when I don’t hit 100% and can’t check everything off my list. As part of my #13in2013 goal, I am hoping to get in a solid 20-25 miles each week. However, after last weekend’s Resolution Run, I had a couple of toe nails that felt a little funny. I’ll spare you the {Read More}
I’ve heard read on a number of blogs that there is often a post marathon “blues” that kicks in. Not me, I thought. This was such a great experience, I am ready to get back to it and tackle my next race! Then that whole walking and functioning thing took over and my body wasn’t so interested in what my mind wanted. It has been work to even like the idea of running, much less wanting to tackle the mileage each {Read More}
Running aside, my other favorite thing is food. Good food. Healthy food that tastes good is even better. Over the weekend, I helped throw a bridal shower for one of my girlfriends that ditched me for some guy up in Oregon. We planned a dinner at a restaurant because our bride to be has more eating issues than I can work with that offered a lot of gluten free, healthy options. My first time there was with the hubs. He was not a fan, so {Read More}
Well, hello stranger! I know, I know… been a while! Sometimes life gets lived out in reality, go figure. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, with some long overdue posts and updates. Going through my mental rolodex of life, I eat. A lot. So Foodie Friday it is… Social Media Day recently… meh, samples and some networking. It was short lived. Only worth posting because, hello… pop chips! Very short lived once you noticed the grizzle floating on top {Read More}
It’s been over a week since my last run, and it dawned on me that I’ve been in kind of a funk. I’ve heard of these post race “funks” that happen – all the training, all the running, and then it’s all over. I don’t think that’s my issue. While my first half marathon experience was great in itself, the actual “woo hoo” and celebration of it all was lost in the days spent with a friend sharing her loss. {Read More}
First things first, in case you didn’t get my email, click here for your 12/31 check-in, and thanks to those that already did so!! Now, on to more important matters. Yes, we’re a mere five days into 2012 and I’m already breaking out words like persevere. This came in the mail for me just before Christmas and while I am not one for the feel good pep talks and warm fuzzies, Endorphin Warrior is right up my alley. It was {Read More}
It was just the four of us at home for Thanksgiving. Food, football, and a little fitness to get the day going. I ran my virtual 5k Turkey Trot, did some abs, and headed home to get dinner made. At the end of the day, I realized I took ZERO pictures. At first I was bummed, but then I realized it’s because that switch in my head has been flipped and there’s no going back. Food is fuel. Don’t get {Read More}
