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 …

Get out of here May, June is ready to get going!
I cannot believe another month has gone by! I've almost been in Birmingham for 6 months, been single for 5, and been blogging for 4. Completely crazy! The first 5 months of the year were filled with change, some good, some that felt bad, but really were good, and I'm excited for what is in …

I’m going streaking! And there will be pictures
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. Karen, over at Cinderella's Running Shoes started a Challenge Loop so we can stay on track and motivate each other. I'm all …

A Tale of Two Massages
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 …
The night I ran to stay awake
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 …
Therapy Thursday: Put on running shoes, Garmin, headphones, leave brain at home
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 …

This is what Happy looks like
Today I was that annoying person who is way too happy. I had no out of the ordinary reason to be so happy, the stars just aligned to make it happen. To start I slept in this amazing room at the Union Station Hotel in Nashville. It's an old train station converted into a boutique …
My own DietBet, weight loss and running speed, and my first giveaway!!!
If you remember, in March/April I completed my first DietBet. I am really proud of the changes I was able to make, and even more proud of the resulting changes to my body. Sadly, I joined another one against my better judgement knowing I was only 2 weeks from my half-marathon, and calorie counting was …

I’m not sure I’m that interesting…
Any moment I'm expecting the sky to fall on top of me, wait no, I'm expecting my apartment building to collapse on top of me. Why, you ask? Because life is really good right now. I assume things cannot continue to go this well, its a character flaw. So what's been going so well? On …
It’s May already? Well then, time for some new goals!
I cannot believe April went by so quickly. I feel like it was just March, and before I know it, it will be time to start Christmas shopping. Not cool, time, not cool. Image from Contagious Commentary I kept my April goals minimal, and because of that, was successful! It's nice to be able to …
