Today I have one of those runs. A magical one. The kind that just goes wonderfully and allows you to truly ENJOY the run! I dropped my daughter off at her writing class (we homeschool and she takes a writing class taught by my friend and Pastor’s wife, Carol) then Continue Reading
What’s in my Gym Bag?
Well, so since today is a rest day for me from running, and the only thing I will be doing is 10 burpees for the #NoExcuses challenge, I thought I’d share what I carry in my gym bag! Now, you have to realize that I don’t work outside of Continue Reading
If it weren’t for friends and the #NoExcuses Challenge!
I’m telling you. So yesterday was Monday. Which is normally not much in the way of fitness for me. We ended up going to Costco and loading up on groceries (so nice to have so much food in the house), the cashier even commented on how we didn’t buy much Continue Reading
That’s how many Miles? Phew! {Half Marathon Training}
So…like I had nothing else better to do, I added up all the mileage for each week between now and the Half I’m training for. I broke it down to each week, then totals for each month, then one big total for the whole 20 Weeks. Kind of mind Continue Reading

Marathon Training {Day 5} | Iowa City Runner
Well, today was the infamous “long run”. Problem is, I didn’t sleep last night at all, I got to bed about 5am, thanks to my RLS. So today’s run was tough. I walked much more than I would have wanted to. It probably didn’t help that I worked on legs Continue Reading

The Long Run {Half Marathon Training}
So today was the long run. However, since I’m in the start of my training, it was only 4 miles. Which wasn’t too bad on the treadmill. It had better warm up, because once I get to 6+ miles, I’m not going to want to be treadmilling it! The Continue Reading
