Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I haven’t done a favorites post on a Friday in gosh, I don’t even know how long, but I have some good things to share with you so let’s get to it! Tuesday’s 8 Mile Run: I wanted to talk about Tuesday’s run in advance of Sunday’s workout recap post because it was one of […]
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 […]
If you are wondering where yesterday’s post was since you didn’t receive it in your inbox, I can’t explain what happened because technology doesn’t feel the need to explain itself when it screws up. Click here for the link to yesterday’s post which talked about how to start running. I apologize on behalf of […]
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 […]
Lately I have been attempting to write down each run in order to keep better track of my miles. I know I have been running more and want to make sure I am compensating in the fuel department. Think of your body like a car- the more miles you drive, the more gas you […]
This morning’s National Nutrition Month tip: Buy Fruit. Sounds so simple doesn’t it? Sometimes, however, the simplest of things tend to be overlooked. Listen, if you don’t buy fruit, you can’t eat fruit. More importantly, if you don’t buy fruit, your children can’t eat fruit. Expecting children to make healthier snack choices, expecting them to realize […]
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 […]
Thank goodness Spring is really only a few weeks away (in my mind that is) because my 11 mile run outdoors Saturday morning was just down right horrendous due to the weather conditions. This was one of those runs where you mentally battle to keep yourself going. For some reason, I had it in my mind that I […]
I have been wanting to tell you something since I had lunch at Whole Foods on Saturday. Worth every penny by the way. Don’t ask me what was in the box – I get all scoop-happy when I see my favorite roasted anything and just pile it all on into the brown box. OK […]
Good Wednesday morning! Not only is Thanksgiving tomorrow and Hanukkah beginning tonight at sundown, it is also What I Ate Wednesday time! Let’s talk about food from this past Sunday. I felt like cooking. And baking. And experimenting. My breakfast on Sunday may look like my usual egg and banana pancake topped with peanut butter and […]
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 […]
