Hey guys! I've been MIA the past few days. I am in the process of purchasing my own domain and all that jazz, and it's a bit confusing. It's been taking up all my blog thoughts--I guess I'm a lot more technologically challenged than I thought :)Here's a look at our week from the camera ...
Pile on the Miles, Week One
A few days ago, I told you all that I would be participating in Monica's Pile on the Miles challenge. Here's how this week looked:November 1: 1.5 miles with Max through the neighborhood. This actually should count as triple miles, because Max hasn't learned how to run on ...
Pile on the Miles
I'll be back later today with a Halloween post. But before I get to that, HELLO NOVEMBER! This day begins my most favorite time of year--from now until the end of January. I just LOVE the holidays (and my birthday is at the end of January, so that is included!) This year, I am ...
UCP Half Marathon Recap
The great thing about running a race distance for the first time? No matter how bad, or good, you do--it's a personal best!I headed to Florence Friday afternoon with several girls from church to carb-load and stay at the hotel where the race starts. We dined at Ricatoni's--I stuffed ...
Yo Aasics, I’m Your Girl!
I came across a post the other day titled So where's all my free sh*t? . It made me laugh out loud. **Warning: While hilarious, the above mentioned blogger does have a potty mouth!**When I started this blog, it was for a few reasons.I wanted to be able to share our lives with ...
Jog.fm + My Updated Half Playlist
If you are a runner, you have probably heard of jog.fm. It is a website that allows you to choose running songs based on beats per minute. They have corresponded the beats per minute with mile times, so if you run in tune with the music (or at least close to in tune), you can estimate ...
UCP Half Marathon: ONE week to go!
I will be running my first half marathon is less than 7 days. It's almost unimaginable. I have LOVED training for this half and hope to remain in half marathon 'shape'. I've already checked the halfmarathon.com calendar and there are several races coming up in the next few months ...
UCP Half Marathon Training: 2 weeks to go and Life Happens
Sometimes, life just gets in the way of training. I had great expectations for training this week, but they all just fell short. I'm not ok with that, but I'm trying to be.Sunday night was a late one, which made it impossible for me to get up for an early morning run on Monday. ...
Runner’s Anemia + UCP Half Marathon Training: 3 weeks to go
This has been my mantra for the week. After absolutely DRAGGING for the last month or so, I broke down and went to the doctor. My iron was extremely low, and the doctor recommended a supplement for me. She said it would take a week or so to build my levels back up, but I should start feeling the ...
Half Marathon Training: 4 Weeks to Go
I can't believe my first half is less than a month away! This week, I took a little break from distance training and really focused on speedwork for my 5K on Saturday. The faculty winner who comes in first during the race wins a $50 gift card, and I was determined that I was getting that ...
Rebuilding Together 5K: Race Recap
Toray, the company who puts on this race, is our partner in education at school. This was my initial reason for running the race 4 years ago. I have continued to run it and it is definitely one of my favorites! The course is relatively flat and through a nice neighborhood. ...
Half Marathon Training, Countdown: 5 Weeks To Go
This was a rough week for me. Around the middle of the week, I got some type of fever virus, so I had around a 100 degree fever and just felt plain yucky. I ended up taking extra rest days on Wednesday and Thursday. Then, on Friday, I brought Libby home from school with the stomach ...
