Workout- 5 mile run, 4 miles at 8:30 and last mile at 7:58 (had to get it under 8!)
It was crazy snowing Tuesday  night but that didn’t stop us from celebrating Mardi Gras!  We walked downtown and did the pub crawl.  I drank [...]

Hi There!!
Um….   sorry for that LOOOONNNNG break.  I found it hard to keep blogging once we got to Key West and then life got hectic once we returned.  I think I also just needed a little break from the blog and time to think about what I really want to be writing about. I WILL [...]

Yep.  I finally ran today.  My only run of the week.  Blah.
I hit the gym and did a 1/4 warm up, 3 miles at a 9 min/mile pace and then walked at 4% incline at a 15 min/mile pace for a total of 4 miles. Better than nothing, right?  The horrible crampy feeling I had [...]

Yep, me and my cyst have gotten a few runs in since I disconnected for a short bit.    Sorry hard not to talk about as it definitely is impacting my running.  Not sure if it was all the poking around or just being aware that there is something there…..  but I definitely feel [...]

Hope you all had a fun and safe New Years Eve!!
My New Years Eve day was spent at work and then I headed out early for a doctor’s appointment.  I met with a doctor my PCP referred me to, she will be the one removing my cyst.  Yep, I have to have surgery.  I have [...]

I like the idea of recaping what I’ve been up to for the year.  So often as time goes by the years kind of blend together and its hard to remember just when something happend…. ugh I sound old. 
I didn’t start blogging till about mid July, but I’ll touch on some events pre-blog [...]

Because I got my 6 miles in YESTERDAY!

Quick run down of the eats…..
BREAKFAST – cranberry english muffin bread  w/ some butta  (I’ll post a recipe for this soon)

SNACK- 2 clementines

LUNCH- 1/2 spinach wrap with chicken salad, [...]

Happy Monday!  It was back to work for me today.
I was definitely a bit out of this morning…..  I forgot to bring my sneakers with me to kettlebell, so I had to do the workout in these……

Ain’t those puppies sexy? 
I was a bit paranoid when walking the dog this morning, as I fell [...]

Day one of having a training plan again and I’m an overachiever. 
It was a two workout kind of day, I had kettlebell on my schedule but also NEEDED a run.  Yes, I required a run for my sanity.  Do you ever get a bit grumpy when you don’t get your workout in?  Even [...]

Hope your weekend is coming to a good close, unless you are one of those lucky ones with the whole week off!
It was definitely a morning that invited you to stay in and hunker down for a bit.  We enjoyed the view out our window though.

And how pretty our tree looked with the snowy view.

The snowy [...]
