Today I ran my 7th half marathon! Knowing that I wasn’t going to race this race, I offered to pace a friend to reach her goal of finishing under 2:15. I can’t tell you what a rewarding experience this was for me. This is the second time that I have paced a friend in a [...] Who likes free stuff? I do!! I have a pretty awesome giveaway for you guys today, but first I need to tell you about my love for Sharkies. (source) First and foremost, how cute are these snacks? Okay, so I am getting close to being 40, but I can still act like a [...] Just because I was “on vacation” didn’t mean that I didn’t get my miles in.

I love Honey Stinger gels, so I was excited to try the protein bars & organic energy chews.

When I began getting up this early to run/workout 3 years ago, it wasn’t easy. I admit that there were many days in the beginning that I wanted [...] Commit. Train. Believe. Achieve. Fitting that this is the official motto for the race that I just PR’d in! I DID IT! Shiny new PR (personal record) for me! I finished the race in 1:57:31 yesterday – my previous PR was 2:01:22 in the same race in 2009. I don’t think I have ever [...] |
