Last week I posted a picture of myself last night after my workout, see here it is: I captioned it “Stronger, Faster I know that is true, I know my clothes are fitting better, my anxiety has lessened, my speed and endurance has improved and yet…..I HATE that the number hasn’t changed since November. I flex […]
For the last 2 years I haven’t had any crazy running goals, which is reasonable with 2 girls under 2 years old. I’ve simply been content with running at all and the fact that I PR’d my 1/2 marathon was a HUGE bonus to the cross training I started, heck my goal was just to finish […]
For reasons even I can’t explain I don’t like to follow a work out ‘plan.’ Maybe its because I think It will restrict my running too much, or maybe because I’m afraid the girls will make it hard. Whatever the reason I need to get over it. When I was doing PiYo I followed the […]
I don’t know who ‘They’ are but for the last several years that I’ve been running Mac (my hubby) and Bryan have been telling me I needed to cross train. I knew this was true, however I liked running too much to listen to them. Then I had not 1 but 2 little girls 13 […]
October 2013 I wrote a post about how running has changed over the years ending with running with 1 child. Well now its changed again, I have 2 children and no gym membership. I never used it and honestly I lost faith in their child care when I kept seeing employees on their phones. So […]
Last week I was looking through some pictures and I got excited. Prior to finding out I was pregnant with #2 training was going really well and I seemed to be bouncing back pretty quickly. I set a PR in a race I’ve run 3 years in a row and was looking pretty good. That got me excited […]
Well folks, I just couldn’t be content without one more race (maybe two??) I did a little searching and found a 1/2 marathon relay for July 4th! After a quick shout out on facebook for a team mate and a chat with the hubby I signed up. Right after I paid the fee, life got […]
I should be writting my 1/2 marathon race recap today….however it was canceled for sever weather and I haven’t quite processed that yet. This has never happened to me before…. Anyway on to the sale, my favorite compression sock company is having their 1/2 year sale and I wanted to share! Alot of their […]
Training for this 1/2 marathon has been a challenge. There has been snow, sick baby, sick husband, medical concerns (that thankfully were not running related, more medical concerns (that also turned out to not be impacted by running) and general pregnancy tiredness that have gotten in the way…. Phew! However I’ve gotten in my long […]
I’m on the tail end of a cold, the baby hasn’t been sleeping well and I’m over the snow. I’m officially in an exercise slump, at the worst time possible. I have a race in 3 weeks! Good thing is I know I can run it. Bad news is I won’t be able to do […]
