Today’s the day! My winter half marathon is finally here! And by the time you read this blog post, I will have crossed the finish line after running 13.1 (chilly) miles. I’ll share my recap later this week! Wish me luck! WEEK 7 Sunday: 10 miles Monday: KFIT 28:49 Rx (my abs were sore for dayssssss!) Tuesday: Off Wednesday: CrossFit Used #95 for Squat Clean Thruster + worked my way up to #125 X 3…

Good morning! I’ve received quite a few questions about my winter running gear, so here’s a little recap of what I wore on a recent long run. (FYI: It was 21 degrees when I started running and 25 degrees when I finished.) They’re items that I absolutely love and recommend 100%! Brooks Running Women’s Seattle Shell (<– on sale right now!)  The Seattle Shell is a great all-around winter running jacket. It totally protects you from the elements….

Good morning! I’ve received quite a few questions about my winter running gear, so here’s a little recap of what I wore for my long run this past Sunday. (FYI: It was 19 degrees when I started running and 29 degrees when I finished.) Except for my ear-warmer/headband and socks, everything I wore was purchased by me (or Mal), so they’re are not “sponsored” in anyway. They’re items that I absolutely love and recommend 100%. Head-to-toe winter running gear:…

Good morning! Happy Hump Day! First things first! Some exciting news: As I prepare to run the Boston Marathon, I’m raising money for Girls on the Run of Greater Boston. I know the strength, confidence, and FUN that can come from running, so I am thrilled to support such an amazing organization. I hope you consider making a donation! Ok, so there’s a lot of snow outside. And, honestly, there’s just nowhere to run. And it was really…

Hi, guys! I loved reading all of your comments on my 10 Truths and a Lie post. But, jeez Louise, a lot of you guys think I have zero will-power! Haha! The statement about peanut M&Ms was actually not the lie. I really, truly have not touched the bag in days (mostly because I kind of forgot about them)! The lie was “I like my pillows like I like my pancakes: soft and fluffy,” which a few…

My training for the Boston Marathon with Team Stonyfield starts right after the holidays, so I am getting ready for 16 weeks of preparation. (I still can’t believe I am running Boston. Ahhh! It’s a dream come true!) Up until now, I haven’t encountered any super cold weather””just one run in the low 30s and I survived””so now I am really trying to psych myself up for running in the cold New England weather. (I plan…

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Columbia through their partnership with POPSUGAR Select. While I was compensated to write a post about Columbia outerwear, all opinions are my own. As much as I don’t want the cold weather to arrive here in New England, winter is inevitably on its way. The chilly temperatures mean that my morning stroller runs with Quinn and our post-dinner family walks will likely become fewer and far between, but, of course, I…

Hey, friends! I have a fun treadmill workout for you! I’ll tell ya all about it right after I recap breakfast. Breakfast I went back to my beloved French Toast Breakfast Scramble this morning, but I switched it up a little by using a small banana, liquid egg whites, and a bunch of fresh blueberries, which got all soft and juicy while they cooked. I also added a couple of scoops of peanut butter to…

Gooooooood morning! I started my day with a chilly morning run. When I headed outside, I saw frost on the grass! Brrrrr! I actually planned to go to CrossFit today, but my upper body was super sore from yesterday’s workout, so I switched it up with an easy 3-mile run. A bunch of you guys have asked me what I wear for cold weather runs, so here’s a picture of what I wore this morning…

Hello, hello!  After lunch yesterday afternoon, I headed out for a run. I put off running all morning because it was chilly outside and I’m a big wuss when it comes to the cold. Eventually, I bucked up, dressed warm, but not too warm (25 degree rule), and ventured out into the cold. Ok, it wasn’t really cold. Really cold is single digits when your boogers freeze when you go outside. Yesterday, it was in…

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 did peanut butter, but it was nice and thick, so it was a satisfying addition to my breakfast. Speaking of…
