Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
They say runners are stubborn and I am certainly not the exception to this rule. I don’t like to cross-train even though I know that I have to yet I get all stubborn anyway and will run too many days in a row, especially in the summer when the sun is shining and I can step […]
I had been mentally planning to run a four mile race this morning but was waiting until the last-minute to sign up because I wanted to ensure the weather forecast was ideal and that honestly, I didn’t have anything else on the agenda that I felt like doing instead. I love to run and I don’t […]
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 […]
I would tell you all about the six miles I ran on the treadmill yesterday but today is Wednesday and that means we talk food. Did you celebrate National Pancake Day yesterday? I much prefer oatmeal over pancakes but the other morning I randomly decided to go back to my two-ingredient pancake (well, really three ingredient since I added […]
Today is special! Not to be confused with one of my favorite childhood shows…Today’s Special. Anyone else remember the cute little mouse named Muffy? Anyway, back to why today is special. Not only is it the first day of March, which in my world is the unofficial first day of Spring, it is also […]
Hello and Happy Wednesday! I am still all giddy after running yesterday morning. That’s right, I ran a little over 5 miles and while I felt some sort of very slight twinge in my left foot, overall I was really fine. I actually read through some of my past posts and realized that this shin splinty […]
It always seems that my breakfast the morning after a long run tends to be served on a plate rather than in a bowl. Sometimes I have trouble recognizing the plate in front of me. I don’t understand the correlation between running lots of miles and craving eggs but it happens to me often. This egg craving was […]
Remember these sneakers? So cute, right? Yeah well, appearance is their only positive attribute at the moment for me. Since I became all adventurous with changing my running route, I decided yesterday to throw real caution into the wind by switching up the sneakers as well. Bad move. I barely made it a mile before […]
Yes, I am still excited about the new school year. Listen – I am not a mean mom. I do sympathize with the kids for having to sit through class all day and I hate homework as much as anyone else but what I do love is the routine and structure of the school day. […]
You know how we talked about procrastinating and being lazy yesterday? Well, I think it may actually be time I got a little bit lazy on the running front. I must admit that even though the sun was shining and the air was crisp, something in me just didn’t feel like running yesterday. Or doing any […]
I must say this week is flying by. At least for me. I ran again yesterday morning, stopping myself at 4.60 miles for two reasons: 1- I am afraid to overdo it this week 2- I really needed to get my day going. I ran those miles in negative splits, feeling as though I could have […]
Once again, the weather forecast is inaccurate. I watched the five-day forecast for this week on Sunday. At no point was I advised that it was going to be hazy, hot, humid and close to 90 degrees. They are currently calling for cooler temperatures for Memorial Day weekend. As long as it is sunny, I don’t care […]
