Hey friends! Let’s chat about how my 10 week half marathon training plan went. Spoiler alert: it did not go as planned.
Did You Know #17: Benefits of Compression Socks
There’s this fad nowadays in the fitness and running industry involving compression gear, more specifically, compression socks. But are they just fashionable or do they really serve a purpose?

Should You Do a Fun Mud Run?
I will start out by saying I’ve only done two of these runs, but they were both with different companies, different people and different states, so I feel like all of those different variables helps round out my experiences.

Fall is one of those times where the weather is quite unpredictable. It might be 60 degrees but super windy (like it was in Nebraska for my 7 mile run-walk), or it might even be in the 40s and sunny.
