Today's topic is are you a solo or group runner? The quick answer for me is both. I believe both have their pros and cons. The Group Run Nothing will get you out the door quicker for a run than knowing you are meeting other people. It always feels easier to run with other people … Continue reading Strength in numbers

What to eat when you just can’t eat
Hopefully this is the blog post you will never need, but if you do, I hope it's helpful to you. Having stomach problems is never fun. You can either help or hinder your healing with the right foods. The BRAT Diet I got really familiar with this one last week -- luckily I already knew … Continue reading What to eat when you just can’t eat
Love Will Keep Us Together: April 2019
Yup, had this post *almost* ready to go last week, but not quite ready. So I'm wrapping up April today. Technically I only missed running those last couple of days in April. No real plans for any big goal races any time soon. Heck, at this rate the 5k the beginning of June will be … Continue reading Love Will Keep Us Together: April 2019
What wouldn’t I try?

Eat Live Thrive Diet (Book Review)
I know that when I first started to run, I overate for the amount of calories I was actually burning -- not intentionally, but it's easy to do. Eventually I figured out how to train and not gain weight (for the most part). I've noticed, though, that I can no longer eat as much running … Continue reading Eat Live Thrive Diet (Book Review)
Keeping the girls cozy
I Tried It: Wool Bras I have sung the praises of the Skirt Sports Wonder Wool line many times (get yours here). I seriously just love it so much.

March is a big birthday month in my family, and there was a lot of celebrating going on. Almost had the entire family together Sunday, but were missing my brother & … Continue reading Making Love Out of Nothing At all
5 Things I eat on the run
I think many runners rely on the same tried and true fuel, until for some reason it's no longer working for them. I love trying new things, and I am almost constantly trying out new foods on the run when I'm running long. Honeystinger Chews Honeystinger is tried and true for me. I started out … Continue reading 5 Things I eat on the run
When is it time for a break?
I am a firm believer that recovery is important -- and often overlooked by runners. I have written about the need for it many times (see the bottom of the post for links to more on recovery). How do you know when it's time for a break? I'm not talking about how to recover, but … Continue reading When is it time for a break?
I Can’t Make You Love Me
Still riding the love train (read about it here), and this month I give you Bonnie Raitt. You're welcome. I chose that one because sometimes races are just ok -- not necessarily anything you did or didn't do, it happens. Last month it was "What is Love? Baby Don't Hurt Me". Well, my race (read … Continue reading I Can’t Make You Love Me
