Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
So I had a post almost finished for yesterday but then I woke up and didn’t feel inspired by it so I didn’t post it. The post wasn’t bad and parts of it made me laugh but something was missing. Anyway, the good news is that I’m here today with a nice round of […]
It’s no secret that I love to shop. I don’t always spend a ton of money and quite often I’m able to seek out some really great deals which helps to balance the more indulgent purchases. One thing I always look for in my clothing and accessories purchases is that the trend is a classic one for […]
Earlier this week, Tuesday morning to be exact, I experienced a terrible, horrible, no good very bad run. (I can’t help but quote Alexander here). I do believe that this bad run was entirely my fault which is actually a good thing when I think about it because at least I am able to […]
I spotted a runner a few nights ago as I pulled into my neighborhood and suddenly became intrigued. I had the urge to run too. It was about 6:30 pm, not that humid and still sunny outside. It seemed like such a great idea, even to me, the strictly morning runner. Why not go for […]
I received a few questions yesterday regarding how to know when it’s time to replace your sneakers. They say your running shoes should last you anywhere between 300 – 500 miles, with lighter-weight runners supposedly getting to the upper end of the recommendation. I always laughed at this concept because as a pretty light-weight runner, I usually […]
I talk and text with so many people in a day and I consider my blog writing a form of communication as well therefore I often forget who I tell what and in what form I tell it. Did I tell you… That Lulu Lemon has an in-house tailor? You can even have your work-out […]
I tend to reserve more in-depth discussions for Tuesday, formerly known as Three Tip Tuesday. Lately I have dropped the Three Tip part and find myself simply sticking to topics rather than looking for three tips. Topic Tuesday? A few of you have asked me recently to address running for beginners, including one of my close friends […]
It was beautiful out yesterday. Everything about my run was terrific and the weather was just an added bonus. I did my best to focus on running rather than allow my mind to wander and it worked out rather nicely for me. I was able to achieve negative splits as well as the quick paces I […]
Ever have a day where it suddenly hits you out of nowhere that you are exhausted? The kind of fatigue where you want to lay down and not move for a week? After working through the morning yesterday, I broke for lunch and then suddenly, exhaustion set in. No, I did not have turkey or […]
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 […]
I request a lot from my shoes. I know what I am looking for, I know what I need and I won’t settle for less. Here’s the thing – plenty of sneakers are comfortable. That’s what makes this so complicated. You can try on a ton of running shoes that seem to feel amazing. You […]
I did something smart. And cost-effective. My Asics Gel Nimbus 15’s (on the left) are quickly wearing thin. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised – increasing one’s mileage will increase the frequency of purchasing new running shoes. Don’t get me wrong – I love a new pair of shoes but spending big bucks right now to get THE […]
