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 [...]

American’s Finest City Half Marathon Race Recap
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 what [...]
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” [...]
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 [...]
