It’s the start of a new week! Are you excited? I know I am! I have a challenging week up ahead, but I’m ready to be back into my regular schedule, with some hot yoga with friends sprinkled in throughout the week. I’ve been getting in my marathon training runs, and this heat wave we’re…
Happy Thursday, everyone! This week has shaped up to be an excellent week for fitness for me! I’m down a few pounds since this time last month, and my body is finally feeling ready to really get into my marathon training. This week, I’ve played a volleyball doubleheader (I subbed one match for my friend’s…

A couple of weeks ago, I ran the second half marathon of my running “career.” The race was the Frederick Running Festival Half Marathon, and I set a new PR! (Granted, my only other half marathon featured an extended portable toilet visit, so it’s possible my results are a little skewed, but it’s all good.)…
It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for the Thursday Throwdown linkup! This week, Sarah, Tamieka, and I chose to revolve the theme around motivation. Because I have been working my butt off the last few weeks, I can tell you that I am being motivated by sleep right now. Boy, I cannot wait to hop into…
One of my running resolutions for 2016 is to write my race recaps quicker. I tried to give myself a deadline of a week per race, but obviously I didn’t hit that mark like I’d planned. I have three race recaps to complete before my June 4 half marathon, so I apologize in advance for…
May is a great time of year! Mother’s Day is in May, people make those corny, “It’s Gonna be May,” and “May the 4th Be With You” jokes all in one week, Memorial Day rounds out the month, which also means that outdoor pools open on the East Coast. It’s a great time to be…
I haven’t run a mud run in about two years. Inconceivable! I really enjoyed the last mud run I ran, and had a blast with my friends. There’s something about doing a muddy obstacle course race that makes you feel like a beast when you’re done — even if you were sweating and rolling around…
