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 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 [...]
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 [...]
Back Back in Cali Cali
Vacation over. Sad face. Although…I get to come home to San Diego so I can’t complain ever too much. Thanks to all my amazing guest bloggers! I left you with some good stuff, huh? Boston was lovely, the yoga retreat was very zen, and over it was great to step outside my normal routine and [...]
Half Marathon Training Week 5 Recap
For some reason, this week made this whole “training” thing seem more real. I guess because now we’re officially 3 months out from the race. And the “long runs” are getting…well…long! Yikes… Here’s what I did this week: Monday: I don’t remember, but I think I did some extra stretching. I know I took Nina [...]
