If you're hungry, if you're trying to drop a few pounds (like I am, actually), you might want to skip over the favorites this week. You've been warned: it's drool worthy! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin; our hosts may be battling hot, humid weather in the south … Continue reading A week of good eats: 5/15-21 Weekly Wrap
5 Reasons I’m Stylish
I consider myself a fashionista. In real life and in my running life. I may be a Skirtsports Ambassador, but I wore them before I became an ambassador and even if they didn't continue to choose me as an ambassador, no doubt I'd continue to work as an unofficial ambassador. Today I am joining up with … Continue reading 5 Reasons I’m Stylish
Hit Reset: Book Review
I am not usually a fan of yoga books, at least not yoga books that actually are about yoga routines -- it's too hard to do yoga while reading out of a book. Hit Reset: Revolutionary Yoga for Athletes (Amazon Affiliate link) may just have changed my mind on that score. A Quick Peek Here's a … Continue reading Hit Reset: Book Review
Can’t do simple arithmetic: 5/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Seriously, apparently I can't count. I wanted to move my long runs from Sunday to Saturday -- my next half is a Saturday -- and it never occurred to me that I'd have two long runs in one week -- according to the calendar Rachel @ Runningonhappy uses, which runs Sunday through Saturday. Although since … Continue reading Can’t do simple arithmetic: 5/8-14 Weekly Wrap
5 Things that got me through . . .
. . . My first trail race I love you free spirits who just go out and run. I'm a girl scout; I believe in preparation! Maybe that's why I'm not usually super nervous before a race. I was a little nervous before this past half (read the recap here), but chatting with Skirtsisters before … Continue reading 5 Things that got me through . . .
To everything there is a season: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud , randomly, in no particular order: things ending, another movie, sleeping patterns, and running with dogs. Because that's my life! Well, running with a dog, anyway. Expect troubles as an inevitable part of life, and repeat to yourself, the most comforting words of all; this, too, shall pass. -- Anne Landers This too … Continue reading To everything there is a season: TOLT
Mud & Chocolate Half Marathon Race Recap 4/30/17
Yes, I tackled my first trail race in the Mud & Chocolate Half Marathon. It sucked (mud, that is) but didn't suck (as in I didn't hate the race). I wrote about being a traiblazer for my last half recap just a month ago (read about it here) -- well, now I can actually claim … Continue reading Mud & Chocolate Half Marathon Race Recap 4/30/17
At the movies: 5/1-7 Weekly Wrap
I was up to running this week, unlike after my NOLA half -- still really tired. Not sure why. Travel? Lack of sun? I also suffered a complete lack of motivation for any sort of strength training, and that definitely needs to change next week. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and … Continue reading At the movies: 5/1-7 Weekly Wrap
Becoming our moms: Spilling over tea/coffee May 2017
Another month, another race in the books. It's been a very atypical year for me when it comes to racing! Technically a PR, because it was my first trail race, yet the slowest half marathon I've ever run. Today I am joining up with Coco and Deborah for their ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying high tea . … Continue reading Becoming our moms: Spilling over tea/coffee May 2017
5 Reasons I Love a Hydration Vest
When it comes with hydrating during a race, I think I've almost tried it all. I wrote about the first five ways I've tried hydrating here. At one time or another they were all my favorites. But then something about them annoyed me, and I moved on. My most recent half marathon was a trail … Continue reading 5 Reasons I Love a Hydration Vest
