Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
Well, I should probably edit yesterday’s 5k race recap to include the race results now that I have them. I placed second for my age even after the whole dropping the phone fiasco at the start. My first race in the 40-44 age division! This is now the second time I found out that […]
I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s guest post regarding tune up races. Laura really is the greatest for explaining the running stuff. If you don’t already read Laura’s blog, she actually shared a wonderful post last week about how she is making sure she eats enough during her marathon training. I think this is why I love her […]
1. Another week of school mornings, another week of uneaten car breakfasts because, you know, no one eats breakfast before school. 2. I have been putting paprika on anything and everything. I need to google what it means to crave paprika. 3. I needed new eye shadow and flashed myself way back to […]
**The winner of the Stur Giveaway is Liz from the blog, I Heart Vegetables ** So yesterday I decided that blog posts are like coloring books. I will often select a page to color, get half way through the pretty picture, lose interest in the pattern and flip the pages to find a new […]
Where did June go? Has anyone else realized next Friday is the Fourth of July which means somewhere between now and then June will end and July will begin? I don’t even understand. It is all a blur. This whole week is a blur as well. A good blur of graduation parties, ceremonies, good […]
I still haven’t had a chance to replace my son’s cell phone. I realize that if it were my cell phone that somehow landed in a pool, I would have found the seconds to sit at Verizon but it wasn’t mine, he is only ten and being unfaceplanted from FaceTime for 48 hours isn’t the […]
I ran seven miles yesterday. I didn’t mean to, it just happened. Sounds funny, right? Like how do you just accidentally run seven miles. I don’t know, the first three are a given, then you get to four, and then five and one more you are at six and then your phone rings so […]
How often do you really eat something completely different from the day before? What I Ate Wednesday posts are always fun for me to do and definitely point out to me just how much peanut butter I consume on an hourly basis. These posts also help me to see that most of my diet is pretty clean, vegetable […]
I surprised myself and ran six colorful miles yesterday morning. I guess I was shocked to have felt like running again. I know I run a whole lot but a race is just different. The adrenaline combined with keeping up a quick pace for over 13 miles is taxing. Even with Monday’s easy shake out run, I sort of […]
There are a ridiculous amount of trendy diets, lifestyle changes and detox plans plastered in our face lately. Not like it is really anything new; the media is forever portraying the best foods to eat, the best meals to lose weight and the magical approach to becoming a be a better you plan. The real truth […]
I have an interesting twist for this week’s What I Ate Wednesday fun. The other day, my friend went through his email archives and came across a survey I once completed long ago. When I say long ago, I mean September 22, 2000. I was fresh out of college, working my first job in the promotions […]
I love that it is Wednesday already! After yesterday’s post, I really want to start touching upon the factors which played a major role in helping me become the runner I am today. One important place to start is food. Eating certain foods (especially at certain times) can make a world of difference in how […]
