Full disclosure: I get to run this 5K for free in exchange for a post about the fun details. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to redeem myself. From what? Well, I signed up for a 10-mile race in support of Girls on the Run, but ended up sick and injured (and freaked out…
WIAW #80: Voodoo Tacos and Sweet Blueberry Almonds
I cut off last week’s Two Weddings and a Birthday WIAW (or What I Ate Wednesday) because it was getting suuuper long, but I left out some tasty details I really wanted to share. PS Make sure to check out Jenn’s WIAW party going on right now (but after you check out this post!)! The…
Race Day Pressure
So you sign up for this race. It might be an easy/fun distance, but likely it is something you need to train for. It’s okay though, because you are so. excited!! You are going to kick this race’s butt!! So you map out this plan. The perfect plan. You visualize yourself running these graceful miles…
Fitness Friday: My Fitness Journey
Hey friends! Popping in to let you all know that I have a guest post up over at Better with Veggies: How to Balance Fitness and Life! (I definitely forgot about adding this into the post from earlier today even though Heather told me over a week ago about it.) It’s supposed to be about…
Friday Five: New Lake + Other Randoms
How about a little something called Friday Five. Where I string five random thoughts together about my life as of late and call it a post! 1. I found a new lake! I know, in Minnesota of all places. (It’s the land of 10,000 lakes in case you didn’t know.) I finally went out for…
WIAW #79 Two Weddings and a Birthday
Is it really Wednesday?? It has been a crazy few days! This past weekend Dave and I made the 6-7 hour trip back to Omaha, Nebraska. For two weddings and a birthday. Dave was in one of the weddings, so it made the weekend that much busier. Friday night we attended Sam and Claire’s wedding…
A Marvelous Weekend of Learning at #HLS13
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed I was quite busy this weekend. Two weddings back in Nebraska, a rehearsal dinner (on the night of the first wedding..a lot of driving that night) AND we celebrated my brother’s 21st birthday. I’m glad I wrote this post up last week since I am…
WIAW #78: I Like to Make Food at Work
I’m working at a cafe now which is fun in that it gives me all of these ideas for things to make, but then again it’s torture to work with food when you are hungry. If you’ve ever worked in the food industry, you know that you might not get a chance to eat until…
Western Egg Casserole + Bonus Recipe
I am all about quick and easy meals…especially when they last a couple of days (hello leftovers!!). This western egg casserole was super satisfying, flavorful and made a great brinner as well as breakfasts throughout the week. This was not all that quick when Dave and I were making it, but that is likely because…
Kind of Freaking Out: Half Training Week 6 + 7
So I signed up for these runs. A half marathon in Des Moines that is coming up in about a month, then a 10 mile run that is coming up in about TWO weeks!! Oh yeah and for the 10 mile run I decided I would raise $500 for Girls on the Run since I…
