Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I hope everyone had a nice Passover and Easter. With my workouts from last week listed below, I don’t really have much to add in terms of details! A few runs plus lots of yoga and pilates thanks to Melissa Wood Health is feeling like the absolutely perfect balance for me these days. My workouts […]
A super quick look at last week’s workouts. What is there really to say beyond the sudden shock of winter cold temperatures? While the temps will still go up and down at this point in the season, I am now prepared to be at the gym more often on days that it is too […]
Do you notice things look a little bit different around here?! We made the blog theme switch yesterday morning and since then, I’ve done my best to not get sucked into working on all of the little details that go along with updating a blog. There are so many spots that require new coding […]
This is the first week IN YEARS that went by without me running at least one time. I am finding this so very interesting for a few reasons. First, and I know I have mentioned this all week, dropping that shampoo bottle on my foot really couldn’t come at a better time. Seriously. It’s […]
5 years ago this weekend I ran my first ever half marathon at Hershey Park. In some ways it’s just CRAZY to me to realize that my first ever half marathon experience was already 5 years ago and at the same time, it feels forever ago! I didn’t start my blog until a few […]
As I mentioned in Friday’s Favorites post, my son’s new school schedule allows me the time to sleep and run later in the morning.The only issue is, I like to walk out the door at the same time he leaves for the bus stop. This is an issue because he doesn’t want to see me […]
It was an overall hot, humid and busy week! Running still felt nice as I already know to adjust my mindset and pace according to the weather. I am really just happy to run every morning, not caring about specific workouts or pushing myself to move any faster than what feels comfortable on […]
This week in workouts was a good mix of recovering from last Sunday’s 10 mile race and Pure Barre. As I mentioned in recent posts, I was selected to be a Pure Barre Beta Tester for the at-home Pure Barre online workouts and I COULD NOT WAIT to get started. It’s been a fun week of starting […]
Oh, hi. Happy Sunday. I mean, Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Not that I really like football or anything. I am more of a hockey girl. Anyway. Overall I would say that running was SO MUCH BETTER this week as compared to last week’s workouts. No more random soreness and thankfully, my hip which was slightly bothering me […]
Since switching to Runkeeper from MapMyRun, I have fallen out of the habit of sharing my splits in these weekly workout recap posts. Runkeeper is awesome and I definitely like it more than MapMyRun but their screen for splits isn’t as screenshot friendly. This has worked out just fine for me lately as my pace has […]
As you may remember, I have been trying to get into a Pure Barre Platform class for a long time now. My Pure Barre studio does not offer the Platform class as often as the regular Pure Barre classes so it’s been a bit of a struggle finding a class time which not only fit my […]
My running shoe rotation fell off course this week which sounds totally weird if you don’t run but since most of you reading are runners like me, you will probably appreciate the conversation we are about to have. I have a system to my running shoe rotation and I rarely deviate: Adidas Energy Boosts = Tuesdays, […]
