This week was a little different – I was feeling exhausted – mentally and physically – and couldn’t find the willpower-desire-motivation to get out and run a couple of days! I switched around some of my mid-week workouts and forfeited my interval run on Tuesday (even though I WANTED to make it up a different day). Oh well,… Continue reading marathon training w9
How is it already the end of February?! (I feel like this will be the theme each month!) With any hopes and dreams, the winter chill is nearing its end and the lovely spring weather will be here!

With the new age of virtual races, chasing the BLING is a lot easier! Here are a few of… Continue reading favorite metals | Tuesdays on the Run

I know I will need to make up for a few items that are not going to last through Friday, but I am okay with that. Today’s eats are relatively representative of my meals for the week. Since… Continue reading quinoa + apples | WIAW
This weeks training went well! My workouts got a little funny-business at the end of the week…but it all worked out – it just means that next week is going to be a higher mileage week due to this weeks long run being run on Sunday (when the weather was 20+ degrees warmer than Saturday!). Don’t… Continue reading marathon training w7

Here are a few of my ideas *hint hint*! Pink compression socks Compression gear is always a running girl’s best friend! There are… Continue reading Valentine’s Day Gifts for Runners | Five on Friday

Wednesday is my spotlight day for the hop, so I am posting my WIAW post a day late – or is it really?! Oh well! I am linking up with Jenn… Continue reading english muffin + soup | WIAW
Well, this week has been busy…and my weekend wrap just kept getting pushed aside (I need to be better about posting it EARLY)!
