75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Well folks here’s a first I had to add 2018 to the title since I’ve done the tire trot last year too. See I’m all experienced at this racing and blogging about it shiz. I’m like a tire trot OG all the way back to year one! I’ve done it every year since it started,... Continue Reading →
We all know someone, probably, that seems to take exercise too far. We also probably know by now that anything can become an addiction. Eating, not eating, sex, wine, harmless bickering or cleaning all seem like great things but we can take them too far. I’ve been exercising a lot lately and I don’t think... Continue Reading →
Or Ironman or half Ironman for that matter and that’s okay. This is not a marathoners are stupid boring people post in fact quite the opposite. I also get that if you can run a half or even a 10 k you can take the time and train for a full marathon. But I’m not... Continue Reading →
It’s starting… except that it hasn’t really after last year's failure. This post is going to follow a lot like those half marathon updates you’ve been reading but for this week it’s what I’m doing or not doing to get prepared and a little bit on my training strategy.

I’ve been training for a half marathon for since February and building my base for training before that. But... Continue Reading →
I know, I know this is a tad late for spring but these are the things I legit discovered this spring or saved me this year. This is in no way sponsored or contains any affiliate links it’s just 100% stuff I loved while training for my half marathon this spring. Now a word about... Continue Reading →
This past training cycle I was good and sick for at least 3 of the 12 weeks. Plus I was fully in two job life mode. Last time I trained for a 1/2 It was down to one job in the summer only. So this time I also found myself tiered and occasionally napping. Truthfully... Continue Reading →
The best part about peak week is the fast that it’s comprised of all your biggest training runs AND that they are the VERY LAST ones! That and you feel like a super hero. But I’ve also been tiered, wharfing and getting life stuff crossed off the checklist now that we’ve moved on job wise.... Continue Reading →
