Yesterday, I could have easily been mistaken for Grumpy Cat. Nothing went the way I had planned. Every person I had to interact with had also decided it was "Be Grumpy Cat" day, making my own mood worse. Image from GrumpyCats.com And then I started to stress out. I could actually feel my blood pressure …

A few weeks ago I was reminded of Runner's World's Rave Runs, and resized that there was one from November 2012 less than 30 minutes from my apartment in Birmingham. Oak Mountain is a well loved state park just outside of Birmingham. It's got everything from golf, to a campground, to seemingly endless miles of …

I'm horrible at keeping up with blogging in general lately, but certainly keeping to my usual posts. Therapy Thursday has been lacking, but tonight, its with myself in mind. I'm on week #2 of 4 of 6 day a week travel. I leave my temporary apartment in Birmingham on Sunday morning, and return Friday night. …
While I've run for several years, this was the first time I ran for National Running Day. I was really pumped about it, to the point that if I hadn't been doing a tempo run and on the verge of falling over, I wanted to shout "happy national running day" to everyone I passed on …

Haha, you totally thought you were getting something else in this post, didn't you?! Admit it. It's okay 😉 But in all seriousness, I am attempting my first Runner's World Summer Run Streak.

I am a big believer in treating your body well, both in what you put in it and do to keep it in good working order, but also giving back to it. For this reason, I try to get massages every few months, and if I'm training, more often. I've done really high-end massages, like …
As I mentioned in my post earlier this week, my job reaches a point of pure ridiculousness this time every year. Yesterday, I was exhausted from two days of long meetings, 2 long drives, and just from being so focused for too many days in a row. Due to an early meeting hasn't been able …
It's been a few weeks since I did a Therapy Thursday, but they always help me, so I brought them back. This week has been my best running week in a long time. I've PR'd my 2 mile run twice this week, including this morning when I felt heavy and congested. I ran with no …
