Our final Tuesdays on the Run for the year asks you to wrap it all up. Was 2016 everything you hoped for? More? Less? 2016 was one wild and crazy adventure around here. I told you all about my races for the year so I thought I’d leave you with some of my favorite pics. [Read More]
Noom Review: What Can a Health Coach Do For You?
With the year just about over, many of us are thinking about 2017, setting goals and mapping out plans to achieve them. I’m speaking for myself here, but at the top of my list are health goals. I’m working toward being the best version of me in mind, body and spirit. I suspect I’m not [Read More]
Race Bling of 2016
Is it that time already? Yes, most of the year is in the rearview mirror at this point. All of my races for the year are finito. So let’s take a sparkly, blingalicious walk down memory lane, shall we? I’d hoped 2016 would be all about destination racing, and indeed that’s exactly how it turned [Read More]
Another Trip Around the Sun
Since I’m firmly ensconced in the running “off-season” and hamstring rehab, I’ll spare you the nitty gritty on my workouts. Let the record show I’ve been getting to the gym (empty) and to the pool (empty too). Running has been slow and sparse because my hamstring is still not feeling so hot. The final week [Read More]
New Balance Chicago Goodness and a Giveaway
This week I’m going to stray from our Tuesdays on the Run topic of Best Running Books because I’ve been off on a blog field trip and the details are too good not to share! Us runners love our shoes. Recently I was invited to visit my local New Balance Store, have a fit and [Read More]
Fruit & Nut Chocolate Bark
It was a low-key week, which was perfect. Thing 1 came down with a bug and I promptly caught it. There was hardly any running, a mere 3 miles on snowy, foggy trails was all she wrote. There was strength work and core and swimming and hamstring rehab too so don’t add me to camp [Read More]
Friday Five Randoms
These Friday five random thoughts are coming to you compliments of a Nyquil-induced stupor. Getting sick was inevitable. I’ve been flying, the teenager has the plague, I’ve been driving said teenager all over town, it’s cold as balls. Better to be sick now than over the holidays, which are approaching faster than you can say [Read More]
Panama City Beach Half Marathon
This week the Tuesdays on the Run Linkup asks “What has running taught you?” Oh grasshopper, running has taught me so many things. Patience, perseverance, goal setting, managing stress, you name it, there’s a lesson. Just this past weekend in Florida, I had yet another epiphany, which I’ll share at the end of this race [Read More]
HOLottaFun in Panama City Beach!
Happy Monday! I am still glowing from a wonderful race-cation weekend in Paradise with some of my bestest blogger friends. Because I am fresh off a very late flight back to snowy Chicago, I’m going to spare you my workouts for the week (no running, some swim and strength, ’nuff said), and cut to the [Read More]
One Last Coffee Date for the Year
One last coffee date and this year is a wrap. How can that be?? I’m linking up with Deb, Coco and you for the final Ultimate Coffee Date of the year. If we were having coffee I’d be drinking a cup of this Gingerbread blend from Trader Joe’s. It has a subtle blend of ginger, cinnamon, [Read More]
