The weather was positively perfect for my long run day. It was entirely overcast, 70 degrees, and breezy--I was even lucky enough to get rained on a few times. :) My run was one of those fabulous runs when you just don't want to stop and you feel like you could go forever. It's [...]

I love it when I randomly reach into the fridge, pull out a mish mash of ingredients, and produce a unexpected, delicious meal. Hawaiian Chicken Pilaf Sweet potatoes, pineapple, and chicken sausage mingle to make this one-dish stir fry insanely tasty. A great thing about this meal is that is requires little prep work [...]
I heard a knock on my door around 10:00 am and was pleasantly surprised to receive a box FULL of EAS Nutritional Supplement products. Check it out: Thanks to the awesome people at EAS, I've got loads of protein shakes and bars to try out now. The bars seem a little high in calories [...]
"I have always loved running... it is something you could do by yourself and under your own power. You can go in any direction, fast or slow... fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage in your lungs." ~Jesse Owens [...]
I just wasn't feeling my run this evening, but part of training for a Half Marathon is I've got to run even when IREALLY don't want to! Otherwise, I know I'll pay for it on race day. With that in mind, I laced up my kicks and headed out the door. Right away, I [...]
I managed to go to bed at 10:45 (only 30 minutes later than my goal!), but when I woke up at 6:30, all I could do was stare blankly at the kitchen counter. I KNEW I had thought of a really fun breakfast, but I couldn't remember what it was! It was so frustrating. I [...]
It’s so strange how today is Tuesday—doesn't it feel like Monday? Yay!I had a great workout today. I decided I was going to run 5.0 miles as fast as I could. But once I got outside, I was immediately struck with how HOT and HUMID it was, and I felt like I’d never be able [...]
I went to bed last night at 9:30! It felt wonderful to sleep for eight hours on a work night. In fact, it felt so good that I've decided this week's goal is to go to bed by 10:15 every night. Actually, you may start to notice several other changes over the next few [...]
I feel like I ate all day long (and I think I did). Today was a total day of indulgence, but luckily I balanced things out with an intense gym session with the Future Husband. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine, but I soon got bored and decided to run the fastest mile [...]
Good morning! I hope you have today off, and if you don't, I hope you secretly slack off a little behind your bosses' back--after all, it is Labor Day!I woke up around 7:30 (guess my body doesn't know we don't have to work today!) and made myself a delicious breakfast.Breakfast- Banana and Pineapple Oatmeal Pilaf [...]
