Nope, we're not moving. Not yet. Not for quite a few years most likely. But we think about where we want to move to. But first it's been a long time since there was a Bandit update. Today I am joining up with Coco and Deborah for their ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying high tea . … Continue reading Where do we go from here?: Spilling over tea/coffee July 2017
Runfessions Race Edition June 2017
It's all about the race, about the race, about the race . . . or what didn't happen before the race! Or did happen, but maybe shouldn't have. Only this time what happens in UT isn't staying in UT. Join me, Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and other bloggers as we bare our souls -- and our bad … Continue reading Runfessions Race Edition June 2017
June 2017: Did I pass?
It seems a little unfair, really, that as we reach the peak of our race training, many of the things that keep us in shape tend to fall by the wayside: good nutrition, prehab, cross training. Did that happen to me in June? You be the judge! Getting in scheduled runs I stuck to my … Continue reading June 2017: Did I pass?
What the doctor ordered: 6/19- 25 Weekly Wrap
No, I am not sick (knock on wood). But it was another nice, uneventful week and I continue to ease back into a more normal routine.

Because those feet need to take you for miles and miles. That … Continue reading 5 Shoes I’m Loving Lately
Utah Valley Half Marathon Race Recap 6/10/17

Taking the long way home: 6/2- 18 Weekly Wrap
With high winds battering Salt Lake City the day we were scheduled to depart, we didn't make it home as scheduled. We missed our connection and with no later flights, and were stuck overnight in Chicago. So a little nod to Wendy @ Takingthelongwayhome in the subject (I could've gone with there's no place like … Continue reading Taking the long way home: 6/2- 18 Weekly Wrap
5 Beliefs I’ve Conquered
One of the most amazing things about running is the way it builds your confidence. How it teaches you that you can do hard things; things you never thought you could do. I still remember that I couldn't believe I could run a mile -- me! The girl who avoided running if at all possible … Continue reading 5 Beliefs I’ve Conquered
Are you really recovered?
I'll sleep when I'm dead. How often do you hear people say that? Yet we get stronger when we rest and recover properly. But how do you know if you're recovered? Meet my little friend The pulse oximeter. That's right, like the thing you wear on your finger when you're in the hospital. It measures … Continue reading Are you really recovered?
