75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
If you follow me especially on instagram (@alliy_sweat_sweetly) you might notice that I don’t generally share my pace for my runs or races. I don’t really share it on here either other than just a line in a race recap. When I do talk about pace I generally don’t make much of a comment on... Continue Reading →
Running in the dead of winter could not be more different than in the heat of the summer. Almost everything about it is different from what you wear, your top safety concerns to what you feel like when you’re giving it your all. But this doesn’t just relate to exercising in the great outdoors it... Continue Reading →
It can be a fine line ya’ll. I wish the human body came with some sort of light or alarm to let you know but alas evolution hasn’t provided us with a sure fire way to tell just yet. Running especially and working out generally, can lead to all sorts of pains and aches but... Continue Reading →

This week was unlike any I’ve every had before but not due to running or really any dramatic reason. If anything it was because of a really good thing! This was the first week in my life I’ve ever had a full time employee which might not sound like a big deal but it had... Continue Reading →
I haven’t trained for a new distance since 2018 and even though I previously wrote a post entitled ‘why I’ll probably never run a marathon,’ I’m doing it! So whoever had age 38 in the family pool your odds are looking pretty good right about now. Of course anything can happen between now and October,... Continue Reading →
Last post was all about reflecting on the summer that was. This picture was pretty much the high point in my summer fitness wise and it took me almost 2 decades to do it. What made it so cool, nothing really there's this local river I've always wanted to swim in and I biked there... Continue Reading →
Training hard? Keeping consistent? Nutrition on point? None of that can happen if you’re not getting the hydration you need while you work out. Almost nothing else is as important and believe it or not it can make you go farther, faster and even like working out more! You might think okay bring water what... Continue Reading →
