A few of my favorite things
I haven’t done a favorite things post in a while. Here are a few of my current favorite things. I’ll link to as many as I can! My favorite things, in no particular order. Target Bag Call me crazy but I love my re-usable Target bags. Well, any re-usable bags. But I have this really […]
Our low-carb life
I’ve touched a little bit on John and I eating low carb. Some people think we are crazy but it also surprises me how many people are eating this way and I just didn’t know. Besides the weight loss, we sleep better (he says I don’t snore), feel better, and no, I don’t have the […]
What’s new?
The date is May 16, 2017. I honestly can’t believe it’s been this long since I’ve written anything. So much has happened in the last few years. Good, bad and everything in between. I have so much to say, but where do I start? Injury, oh yeah, that. I started running in late 2011 and […]
Weekly run-down
I made a decision a while back to work on getting my pace down. I’ve been comfy at 9:30 for a while, it’s really become my easy pace. My body automatically goes there. So, I’ve been trying to break that since I want to break a 1:45 half this year. It may just be my […]
Weekly run-down

Recent posts you might have missed: Rock n’ Roll Dallas half recap The perfect time to train for a marathon Training last week: Sunday: RnR Half Marathon Monday: Rest Tuesday: Track, 12×400, 200 recovery, 7 […]
Rock n’ Roll Dallas 2015 re-cap
Since I never got my New Orleans full recap up, I figured I’d better get busy on this one ASAP! This race was a different one for me, in a good way. It’s so fun to be there when your friends hit their goals they work soooo hard to achieve! Ally went with me to […]
Weekly run-down
Last week was busy! Ally started middle school track. They only have 4 meets. The first one got snowed out and the second one almost got rained out. The field events did get cancelled. This week is the district qualifier, I’m not sure how that works since there haven’t been any field events so far. […]
The perfect time to train for a marathon
When is the right time or the perfect time to train for a full marathon? Christina at Crazy Mama Runner asked that question last week in our Sweat Pink Ambassador group. She got varying responses but almost everyone agreed, there’s never a perfect time. Everyone has their reason for running. A marathon is no easy […]
Weekly run-down
Last week was finally a full week of running and getting to the gym. No snow, no ice, not much sunshine either. But hey, we need the rain. It’s sunny here today though! Training last week: Sunday: Gym day Monday: Rest day Tuesday: Track, 4×1 mile repeats, 8 miles including warm up and cool down, […]
Weekly run-down
I’m holding out hope that this week will be a regular run week for me. The last several weeks have been short because of weather. Texas has lost it! Training last week: Sunday: 10 miles. This is a funny story. We ran at 4:30 in the afternoon! Monday: Rest day Tuesday: Track, 12×400 with 400 […]
