I'm a weather dork. Running has amplified my level of dorkdom. I'm known for checking the hourly weather beginning 12-24 hours before a long run or race. I do this to prepare myself physically (right clothes, etc) and mentally (psyching myself up & determining my mantra), but also to adjust what time I'm going to …

My experience with the Runner's World Summer Run Streak was awesome. My low miles got much faster, I felt stronger overall, and it kept me focused on a tangible goal. What's a mile a day? Right?! When they announced their Holiday Run Streak, I immediately wanted in again. This probably sounds crazy since I live …

I don't know about you, but the holidays usually mean a bit of overindulgence, lots of lazing around, and the constant threat of poking my own eyes out due to at least one relative. This year, I'm determined to keep at least 2 out of 3 under control with two little words: Sweaty Selfies. For …

I've always been completely open and honest on my blog. I pride myself on it, partially because the idea of lying or keeping anything from my readers seems silly. I don't even know most of you in "real life" but also because I'd really only be lying to myself. With that, I'm sharing my goals …

October's craziness is bleeding straight through until December, so I'm a few days late with my October recap and November goals. I hope you'll forgive me! Also, I'm having some picture transfer issues, so my race recap will be up later this week. Looking back on October Goals Stick with my training - I am …

I'm writing this in the last hour of a 5 hour flight from Philly to Phoenix to meet up with the Cookies and run my 4th half for the year. This, in and of itself, should have been inspiration for at least a few blog posts, but as soon as I got into my seat, …
Strong September lived up to its name. I am almost in awe at what I accomplished this month. - Get Strong - As I mentioned last month, I did the In Her Shoes Summer Shred Fall Edition today. The concept: intense workouts and a focus on clean eating to fuel your body. The concept works! …
A few weeks ago, I decided to take my "get stronger" goal seriously, and joined Bobbi McCormick's Summer Shred Fall Edition. I think everyone in my social media life knew about it, but I didn't tell anyone until after it was too late to sign up. I've been excited about the changes I've seen in …

The week after a race is always tough. You're coming down off of the highs of training and race day. You're often sore and tired, and, if you're anything like me, all you want is carbs, liquids, and sleep. This week, in particular, has been brutal, but before we get there, we're going back to …
For some reason, getting this race recap written up was as tough as the race itself. But here we go, starting with the expo! Rock n Roll races have notoriously good expos (see my previous review here) and this one lived up to it. I actually went twice, and still walked out with only one …
