Happy Friday! I really couldn’t decide what alliteration I wanted to use today, or really what I wanted to blog about, but I knew I did want to blog. Anyone ever feel that way? It also seems like I have a bazillion ideas when I’m busy, not near a computer, or should be paying attention…

{Fitness Friday #3} Challenge Yourself
Happy Friday Friends! Who is excited that it’s Friday? *raises hand and jumps up and down* Not that school is terrible…I just stress myself out over little things (getting up at 5:30am is no fun either). Especially finding all my classes and making friends the first couple of weeks. And establishing a good eating/fitness routine…which…
{Fitness Friday #2} 18 Week Half-Marathon Training + Cold Weather Running
Hello Friends! (Has anyone else noticed my sudden need for alliteration in my blog posts? Fitness Friday, Faithful Friday, Thursday Thoughts, Teach Me Tuesday…not to mention What I Ate Wednesday and Marvelous in My Monday) I am happy to say that I have my half-marathon training plan finished! It’s in a google doc that you…
{Fitness Friday} It’s a New Day!
Hello Friends! It’s never too late to start over. It’s never too late to be the person you want to be. Today is a new day! Let it be awesome! Does anyone else feel like they need a kick in the pants or inspirational quotes to get moving lately!? I recently went onto DailyMile and…
Am I Crazy? First Half Marathon in May!
Hello Friends! It was a snow day yesterday so I stayed snuggled in for most of the day, wrapping presents and eating Christmas goodies, only emerging when Dave came to rescue me in his SUV for a Christmas party. As I was going to bed I saw a tweet last night that the half marathon…
Des Moines, Iowa Race: How to Make Lemonade
Hello Friends! I am usually a planner. To the extreme. When I go on trips, I will often have a list with little check boxes to make sure I remember everything. Lately, I have been trying to relax a little. Or maybe I have turned to procrastination. Whatever it is…my list-making did not show up…
The Running Addiction
Hello Friends! While I unwind from my fun weekend with my Blend Calee, I want to share a post with you that I wrote for another Blend, Lauren at Oatmeal After Spinning a few months ago. This shows how I’ve been feeling about running the past couple of weeks and I want to hold on…
Healing Depression and Anxiety // LOVE to MOVE
Hello Friends! How weird is the English language? I mean seriously, I feel bad for those who have to learn English as a second language. Love and Move look like words that should rhyme, but they don’t. It’s not loooohve to move or love to muhve… Okay that was not the point of this post. …
Enjoying Outdoor Running
Hello Friends! The thing I love about running outside is the scenery. Duh. I live in a neighborhood with a gazillion houses all smooshed together, but just outside of it, you can find nature…other than the yellowed lawns and potted plants. There is a section of land that apparently they have turned into hay-bale type…
Cow Pie Hike + Giveaway Winner
Hello Friends! Delicious title right? Well it was very fitting for the actual hike I took with Dave (the BF) at his family farm over the weekend. You see I have been training for this half-marathon, that I have yet to sign up for (commitment issues?). The training schedule I have is realistic, however when…
