Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I don’t actively consider what I’m eating in relation to my running and activity level anymore. There was a time when nutrition was more of a focus for me but these days, it’s not something I consciously think about. Here’s why I don’t really think about what I eat: I run much less. I […]
My site is still all messed up on my end but luckily I can still post for now. Hopefully they work out the issues they claim I was having and please forgive me for not getting to yesterday’s comments – I haven’t been able to reach them! I really liked Alyssa’s post last week […]
Monday morning inspirational quote: That Dr. Seuss was quite wise. If you follow me on instagram, you saw that I steered myself in the direction of Whole Foods on Friday. I really just needed a few key items: The Bell & Evans Chicken Nuggets were on sale, I was out of steel-cut oatmeal (remember, […]
Do you get frustrated when you get stuck in traffic, appointments run late, plans get screwed up or when things don’t go as you envisioned? I used to let the little things bother me until I took a step back and gave thought to the idea that Everything Happens For A Reason. Like maybe […]
So yesterday morning I did something I rarely do on a random weekday – I ran 10 miles. My long run routine naturally fell on Saturday mornings because that was the day I had the most time to devote to a run lasting longer than 45- 60 minutes. Not to mention, when I first started incorporating the […]
Friday already? This week sure flew by quick! I ended up running 5 miles yesterday morning. With an average pace of 9:35 min/mile, I was clearly not in my zone but I felt well enough to complete the run and I am confident that I will be able to enjoy my long run tomorrow morning. I still […]
It is no secret that my favorite frozen yogurt is Red Mango. Red Mango is not only my favorite frozen yogurt store, I consider it to be one of my top three favorite restaurants. There is no match, substitute or replacement for Red Mango frozen yogurt. The variety of fresh fruit available in their toppings bar (as […]
It is Spin Tuesday once again! I am super excited to get myself back into the spin. Remind me of my excitement around 10:00 am when I am 15 minutes into the grueling class. Yes friends, this morning I revert back to my motto of, “Please do not call me, text me or expect me […]
It is a good thing the school year is just about over. This folder may not look like it is in bad shape to you, but the fact that it is the 7th one I have bought for this school year and it is already torn in several spots, I know we are reaching the end of […]
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 […]
Isn’t it funny how as soon as you finish one race, you are busy planning the next? I am trying to work on my race calendar but it isn’t so easy. The only upcoming races between now and the fall season are mostly 5k distances. I really don’t like the 5k. I prefer to run […]
It is no secret that I am an expert in the area of yogurt parfaits. I am good. Real good. It has taken some practice but I have a technique that is a true winner. I am pretty sure I have touched upon my technique before but in case you missed it, here is a […]
