I have waited a LONG time to do my half-marathon race report, and here we are! It’s so funny how you work so hard on something and it occupies so much of your brain space for so long, and then it’s over in a flash (well, a two-hour-and-forty-minute flash). I have a feeling that’s [...]

13.1 For the Bucket List
I did it!
Final time: 2:39:27
NO WALKING! (can you tell I’m happy about that?)
Full recap to come. I was going to write it tonight, but a few things came up and it couldn’t happen. But I wanted to let you all know that I’m alive!
This is my stolen photo from the “official” race [...]
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 course, [...]
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 to [...]
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 lost [...]
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, two [...]
Half Marathon Training Week 4
Oh my, am I really a month into my half training! One down, three to go. This week, I feel like I slacked off on my training, but looking at it again, I think I did OK.
Monday: Nothing. I was going to do some yoga, but ran out of time.
Tuesday: 3 miles. I don’t remember [...]
Quitter, Quitter, Chicken Dinner
Ever since I had that sage fried chicken, I’ve been obsessed with combining sage and chicken again, but a much healthier version. So of course, when I went to the store, they were all out of sage. All they had was a “poultry mix” of herbs, so I picked it up.
The mix of rosemary, [...]
Windfall
My mom called me awhile ago and told me she has some random food items that she thought I might like (her fiancé ordered a bunch of food online and I guess this came with it). Not going to lie, when she said “organic raw pecan butter” I got really excited, because hello, that stuff [...]
Rah Rah for Raw Kale and Running
Good evening! Have you entered my “blog birthday” giveaway yet? There aren’t that many entries, so your chances are pretty good!
(Don’t call it a “blogiversary.” I don’t know what but I’m not a fan of the term.
I think the two ladies who I share my CSA goodies with are sick of kale, because I got [...]
