Good morning! Happy Thursday! Yesterday morning, I was in the mood for a two-ingredient pancake, but I wanted something a little different for breakfast, so I whipped up some Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter to spread on top. Mmm… the Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter was so good. It tasted more like pumpkin and cinnamon than it [...]

Good morning! Happy Election Day! As soon as I finish this blog post, I’m heading out to get my vote on. I hope you plan to vote today, too. Maybe this pug will help you decide!

Good morning! Happy Friday!! So, is it too early to start thinking about my race calendar for next year? Maybe? Well, I’m a planner, and I just can’t help myself sometimes, so I’m already setting the wheels in motion. The first race on my calendar for 2013 is the Rock ‘N’ Roll New Orleans Half [...]

Hi, friends! Happy Monday! So, not only did I survive the Army 10-Miler, I PR-ed that bad boy! Booyah! A huge thanks to Anne and Theodora for getting me through it! Bright and early on Sunday morning, Katie and I left her condo to catch the Metro to the race. We arrived a little after [...]

Good morning! Happy Friday! I can’t believe the weekend is almost here. This week really flew by!

Hey, I did something that I haven’t done in over a month. I went running!! Woohoo! This morning, I ran 3 miles with some push-ups, squats, and Burpees mixed in. I also tested out my Reebok SmoothFlex Runs (since I had only walked in them before), and I’m happy to report they’re great running shoes—super [...]

I have a couple of races coming up on my fall calendar, so I made a training plan for myself. This weekend, I’m running the Reebok Canton Road Race on a team sponsored by Reebok and Fitfluential. I’m also running the Army 10-Miler in October, so I really want to keep up my mileage, so [...]

So, do you want to know the good news or the bad news first? Ok, I’ll decide for you. Let’s go with the bad news first since the good news is really good. Bad news: I didn’t break 24 minutes. Wah. Good news: I PR-ed and placed 3rd for women and 8th overall! Ok, there [...]
