Or, Don’t Run With Your Car Alarm in Your Sports Bra (alternative title) This week’s training recap will be a little more entertaining than most, so I’m just going to get into it. Well, first, remember when I ran a 4 mile race and then couldn’t remember where I parked my car and Mitch had [...]

Half Marathon Training: Week 12 Recap
Thanks for all your sweet words about my engagement. It’s still kinda crazy to think that what happened last week really happened, but I’ve always seen how “life events” and really show you the type of people you have in your life, and I know I’m really lucky to have the support system around me [...]
Half Marathon Training Recap: Week 11
I have a confession. I do not like having my picture taken. In groups, I will usually try to offer to take the photo so I don’t have to be in it. Have I mentioned this before? I think know it’s part of my “heavy girl” mentality that did not seem to change when I [...]
Half Marathon Training Recap: Week 10
I know, I know, I’m sitting here blogging when there are fireworks to be watched and kegs to be tapped (umm…was that the right? Do you tap a keg? Jeez, college wasn’t that long ago!). But since it’s cloudy, I hate beer, and I live on the outskirts of a beach community that’s known for [...]
Half Marathon Training Recap: Week 9
I’m back to tracking my workouts! And honestly, I’m feeling better about it since my last, kinda whiney post (which was perhaps a lesson in, “some things you should just write and then not publish,” but I digress). I feel like I’m more in control of myself as far as eating and working out than [...]
Tips For Those Who Say “I Can’t Run”
Happy Almost-First-Day-of-Summer! (Yeah. I made that up) For giggles, I though I’d publish the guest post that I wrote for Tina at Faith, Fitness, and Fun (a super-awesome blog, but you already knew that!). Since I’m running SEVEN miles with Jenny tomorrow (which is the longest I’ve ever run and I did it once oh, [...]
Half Marathon Training: Week 8 Recap
Wowza, am I really two months into half-marathon training? Well, the race is TWO MONTHS from Tuesday, so I guess so. Now the real…fun?…begins as the long runs keep getting up there in mileage. My PDR is 7 miles, so after next week, I’ll really be in uncharted territory there. Before I go over my [...]
Getting my Zen on at Kripalu: Part 2
Missed Part 1 of my recap of my two-day stay at Kripalu Center? Forgot I even went there at all since it’s been forever? Grr…I’m not going to apologize for my sporadic blogging, since it’s my blog and I do what I want, but still. When they come up with that 30-hour day, I’ll be [...]
Half Marathon Training: Week 7 Recap
Hey! So I slacked on my recap yesterday, so I wanted to post it tonight. BTW, I’m taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Student has a lighter schedule for the summer and letting him do more of the cooking these days. But if I do cook (or…bake…) something worth sharing, you know I will. [...]
Half Marathon Training: Week 6 Recap
Hey all! I hope you’re having a lovely holiday weekend, if you have today off, of course. I’ve been kinda lazy and anti-social this weekend, but I think we all need our me-time sometimes, you know? And my “me time” includes staying in my pajamas and reading (American Wife? SOOO good. I haven’t been into [...]
