Well, I’m back from a wonderfully long weekend of running and little sleep! I had such a great time running the Epic Relay race! I’ll give you a quick recap of my weekend… Friday: Woke up at 4:30 AM to get ready for the race 7:15 AM–Ran my first leg (7.39 miles) and I felt so so so good! I averaged an 8:45/mile pace including a couple quick hydrating and Gu stops. Took a short (but very refreshing) 1 1/2 hour nap on a church lawn in a sleeping bag. 6:30 PMish–Ran my second leg (4.67 miles). It was my Continue Reading…
Getting Ready to RUN!!
I have to make this quick because I am a crazy lady. We are getting ready and excited to run our relay race this weekend! Woo Hoo!! It’s called the Epic Cache-Teton Relay. It’s a 12 person, 200+ mile relay race from Logan, UT to Jackson, WY. It should be fun! I am the 1st runner so it will be fun to kick it off! I am running a total of 17.5 miles. My longest “leg” is first (which I’m very glad about); it is 7.39 miles. I just hope I feel good and strong and that my body cooperates! Continue Reading…
I am a Rebel
I’ve been wanting to blog on here all weekend, but haven’t had a chance! Yes, I’m a crazy lady! I don’t allow myself to blog until my “to do” list has a significant dent in it and my house is at a certain level of clean. I’m just trying to keep the balance in my life, ya know? Oh, priorities….sigh. So, I’ve done my chores for the day….so now I get to blog. Yay! Anyway, I’ve been a little bit of a rebel this weekend. It all started with a Friday night date night with my husband. We went to Continue Reading…
Week overview and thoughts about eating issues
Well, I’m just going to do a quick post w/o any pics this time. It’s getting late and I’m trying to get more sleep!!! This morning I was reflecting on the past week and I felt very good about it. I ate really healthy most of the time and exercised a lot. The thing that made me the happiest though was that it really didn’t seem that hard and I think I can keep it up! I also lost about 3 pounds! Yay! 3 pounds might not sound like a lot, but my clothes were becoming tight and now they Continue Reading…
Running woes and yummy yummy Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Protein Shake!!
So, Kevin snapped a picture of me as we headed out for our run this morning… I am sorry to report…I do not look like a Rock Star. 😉 I am pretty much your average, ordinary (poofy at times) Joe. BUT…and that is a big BUT (pardon the pun)… …that is why I started this blog. I am on my way to getting in the best shape of my life. I’ve always loved healthy food and exercising, but I’ve also always loved (lots) of chocolate chip cookies and other yummy things. So…I realized I am not getting any younger and Continue Reading…
Healthy Eats!
So, here’s the deal…. I’ve been a slacker blogger. My little sis has been in town visiting from Connecticut and we have been par-taying! We’ve had so much fun, but I haven’t had much time to blog. I’ve also been eating a little crappily…..all for the sake of my sister, of course! 😉 We had to eat some yummy sentimental treats. It’s been very fun, but I’m ready to be disciplined again. So, I am officially on the wagon again and it feels SOOOO good! ********************************* I love to set short-term goals for myself. They don’t seem so overwhelming Continue Reading…
