Imperfectly Striving for Success

IMG_2160.jpg

Do you ever take a picture of yourself 10 billion times, trying to get the perfect shot? I hate not being perfect. When I say something wrong, I wish I could take it back; when I trip in front of 20 people a million people at work, I wish I could turn back time; when [...]

I Survived!!!

Oh, hi there. I did it. I went swimming. And not, splash around with my friends & relax swim- SWIM swim. (For some reason, I have this odd habit of saying words 2x if I feel they’re important enough) I know, I was just as shocked as you! As some of you may remember, I [...]

IMG_0672.jpg

While my calf is still bothering me, I am trying to stay away from running, and am working more on corrective exercise-type workouts to try and strengthen my legs more.

Mmmm cake is tasty. It’s easy to eat, probably the easiest thing to eat in the whole entire world. Not that I ever eat cake, or anything. I do run, though. Running, unlike cake, can be a little more difficult to deal with sometimes. Aches, pains, and fatigue can follow you every step of the [...]

Junk Food: Reason or Release

Life is full of junk food temptations- I think we can all agree on that. No matter how much I strive for healthy living, I still face nearly 10 fast food restaurants on my drive to work. This really becomes a temptation when I work a double shift, meaning I have to drive by each [...]

Top 10 Reasons To Run

Ever thought of adding distance running to your exercise but thought us marathoners were crazy? Well HA- you’re only partially right! While waking up at 5am to run 10+ miles may seem like something only a loon would do, I think my fellow runners would agree that we really do enjoy being loons. But seriously, [...]
