75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
One thing and then right back to running, I swear. I had no idea that after 16 years together the act of getting married in a simple, low-key ceremony would make us feel or act differently. But here we are a bit more than a week out we’re still all kissy-faced and staring into each... Continue Reading →
We might not know all your secrets but… we do know a lot of them. It’s not that we’re nosy, well not all of us are, it’s just that we tend to run the same routes, over and over, very slowly at the same and all times of the day. We know your routines, we... Continue Reading →
You know what balancing training and life is hard, sometimes really hard. No matter who you are and what you have to do in a week you have to make it a priority to succeed. As much as I would like to be a fitness wife with nothing to do besides workout while someone cleans... Continue Reading →
I talked just a little bit about this race in my last half training update but that was just a little teaser to get you to read this post. And it worked! See I’m really smart. I signed up for this one way, way back when I was feeling all itchy to race. I was... Continue Reading →

I have to admit that I feel a whole lot lighter giving myself a break on Wednesday posts for the next month. That said I didn’t exactly get to training any sooner in the week. Friday: We’ve been working far from home this week and so we’ve been putting in long days to make the... Continue Reading →
It’s pretty simple really just make sure to wake up facing directly east every single morning, drink a matcha and kale smoothie twice a day and dine primarily on fresh, homemade sushi. Nah … it’s way easier than that. For a long, long, long time I ran but I low key hated it. I liked... Continue Reading →
Week 4 was when it got hard this time. We’ve been busy, It’s been very hot sometimes too hot to run even for me and I’ve had other stuff on my mind too. Good stuff, but all those things combined makes for a hard place to train in. Plus I think that I’m now in... Continue Reading →
We made it to 100 ya'll! On some level when you're running you're pretty much going in circles for no reason, using up all of your energy and it's hard for no reason while you're doing it. One answer you'll get is how much it adds to their life. The thing is it has a... Continue Reading →
Running is hard, hard physically and hard mentally especially when you are training for a certain goal distance or pace. It can and does beat up your body a bit, logistically its hard to fit in sometimes and it can play tricks on your head. While all of that stuff is hard it also makes... Continue Reading →
