This here is the perfect summer breakfast. Now, I love oatmeal just as much as the next girl. (Actually, that’s a lie. I love oatmeal way more than the next girl, unless I’m sitting next to my BFF Melissa. We compete for the title of top oatmeal lover.) But here in June in Texas, when [...]

Hello again from Boston! I was up and at ‘em early this morning to meet Kate and blog reader Amanda for a run around the Charles River. I was pleased to step outside the hotel and find that it was a wee bit chilly! I am so used to running in 90-100* that this felt [...]

I Did It!

Before I get to my triumph, here’s my afternoon snack: Greek yogurt with blueberries and a little Kashi Cinnamon Harvest. Yummy! So last week I completed my recommitment paperwork for Team in Training. That means I’m doing the Nike Women’s Half Marathon whether I like it or not. This is really exciting for me, as [...]

I was sitting here eating my lunch when I realized…I forgot to post it this morning! I took pictures and everything when I packed it earlier and just forgot to include it in my morning post. Main course was Greek yogurt (the unidentifiable substance in the Tupperware on the right) with strawberries, blueberries (defrosted ones [...]

What’s in my mug today? (I can see almond butter on top.) Oatmeal! The cup is filled with oats (cooked in water and skim on the stovetop with half a banana mashed in) and topped with blueberries, flax, and obviously almond butter. Yum! And in case you don’t believe there are oats under there… Mmm. [...]

More of Jillian’s 30 Day Shred this morning! I like Level 3, but that third strength training circuit is killer…going from the walking push-ups to the plank rows with a leg raise is hard! Check the sequence out in the first minute of this YouTube clip. And as for breakfast… Now there can’t be coffee [...]

I was really pleased with my Team in Training run this morning. It was a bit of a cut-back week in terms of mileage, but I pushed myself a little bit and ended up pacing myself really well. Plus, we ran a completely different route which is always fun for the change in scenery. It [...]

I took a little blogging break (and break from everything, really) yesterday, but I’m back! I started my Monday off with a bang, as always, with a run. My training schedule said “40 minutes, easy” so that’s what I did! It’s funny, actually, I woke up at 6:15-6:20 to start getting ready, and then I [...]

I’ll just let y’all see the picture of my lovely breakfast this morning while I return to my comfy bed, laptop, and reading material. (Don’t know why I’m saying “return to.” I am definitely blogging from bed.)

Halfway There!

7 miles done!! I am over halfway there now, distance-wise, with exactly three months until the Nike Women’s Half. It was a huge mental leap this morning for me to get to seven miles for some reason. Before I started this training, I was definitely fit as a consistent three-mile runner, but I never went [...]
