Do you have a Fitness Bucket List? I realized the other day I do. I was driving home from work and thinking about yoga because I had upcoming plans to go to a class. I love yoga, I really, really do. I’m bad at it though, like pretty much every else I try to do [...]

Half Marathon Training: Week 15 Recap
Can we talk about how, in a week, I will have ran a HALF MARATHON? Seriously. One week from today. It’s a little surreal. I mean, how long have I been talking about this? I only registered for it back in January. Oh I remember January. I was about 10 lbs lighter than I am [...]
Half Marathon Training: Week 14 Recap
So…I may or may not be watching the newest Real Housewives of New Jersey while writing this post. Don’t judge me. The other day, Mitch commented that I haven’t been updating my blog too much lately…and he doesn’t even read it, haha! I think he was showing it to a coworker or something. But of [...]
Half Marathon Training: Week 13 Recap
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 [...]
