Hello Friends! I’ve been really struggling with how to recap this run. I felt a mixture of pride, surprise and gratefulness upon crossing the finishing line. I was astonished at how well I did for my first race and really don’t think I even deserve to have done as well as I did with…

{MIMM #17} Whirlwind
Hello Friends! Not only did I survive this crazy busy weekend…I survived running 13.1 miles in the chilly 40 degree weather. Yes, it is May, but it felt more like a frigid February. That’s the midwest for ya though! For example, last Sunday I ran 10 miles in 70 degree weather and got a little…
Runners can Conquer
My thoughts and prayers are going out to everyone in Boston as well as runners everywhere! I haven’t quite processed this yet, but I know that as a runner it will be challenging to run the next race with the terrifying images and thoughts from the Boston Marathon yesterday. We can’t let the terror beat…
{Fitness Friday #6} Fueling for a Long Run
Hello Friends! I don’t think I need to tell you how proud I am that I accomplished this 9 mile run, by myself, on a treadmill. Seriously, I still wonder if it actually happened! Why?I never got sore! Not the next day, not two days later…here we are Friday, a whole FIVE days later and…
{MIMM #13} What DID I do in KC?
Happy Monday, Friends! MIMM or Marvelous in my Monday is all about positivity on a day that many of us dread….Mondays. I am so happy Katie started this link-up so we can get our weeks off on the right foot! Last week I got to hang out with Dave (the BF) over Spring Break in…

{MIMM #10} It’s Monday BUT
Hello Friends! Sometimes it takes me a bit to recover from the weekend. Specifically the sleeping schedule. I stay up late Sunday evening getting things unpacked (when I go back home..like this weekend) and getting ready for the week…then it takes time to unwind and have my bedtime tea and cereal. As a result, it…
{#MIMM #9} Winning
Happy Monday! It’s another Marvelous Monday! Mondays tend to be a weekend recap as of late, so here was my weekend! Dave (the BF) and I had another fun-food-filled weekend back in my home town. (It’s so weird that I don’t live there anymore! 25 years of my life and I have to visit my…
{Fit Friday #5} Convenience
Hello Friends! I’m not gonna lie…many times I have planned on going to the gym but ended up “not having enough time,” or didn’t feel like getting all of my things together and making the 10 minute trip to the gym. But now…I kind of have no excuse. Sure, I’m busy, but I have at…
