School this semester has been CRAZY! I’m taking both Anatomy and Physiology and a resistance training program class. {A word of advice – DO NOT take these classes in the same semester unless you’re ready to have no life.} So, like usual, the blog has taken somewhat of a back seat. I wish it wasn’t [...]

The Best Running Partner You’ll Ever Have

So, Lynn is off at the vet having her tumor removed. Poor thing is going to wake up in a few hours and not have any idea why half her ear is missing or why she is in so much pain. Oh, and don’t worry, I did cry after I left. I can’t look at [...]
LOST: Motivation
July 20th, 2010 · 7 Comments · exercise
IF FOUND, PLEASE RETURN — IMMEDIATELY. We all get into slumps where even the thought of working out makes us cringe. Don’t get me wrong, a few days like this, every once in a while, are ok to have. But how to you get back into the routine of working out when it seems almost impossible [...]

What is a Runner?
July 16th, 2010 · 12 Comments · exercise, Running
A few years ago when I was running 40 miles a week and racing every other weekend, I was proud to say I was a runner. There was no doubt in my mind. I knew my 5K, 10K, and half marathon PR like it was my phone number. I could easily keep up with anyone [...]
Staying Cool…When It’s Hot
July 15th, 2010 · No Comments · exercise, Running
I don’t do well in heat. Especially when I’m trying to work out. So, since it’s summer, and hot, my workouts have been lacking. To help get through those hot days, I’ve come up with a few things to do to alleviate some of the horribleness of working out in the summer. 1. Switch it [...]
I’ve Been Bit

This weekend is Race for the Cure – and I can’t wait. Beside the Wasatch Back I haven’t raced in almost two years. I love racing. But the last few years, my training has taken a back seat to work and school. I’ve slowed down a lot, and I have a hard time paying money [...]

So much to do & so little time!
April 20th, 2010 · 3 Comments · exercise, Recipes, Running
This past week has been crazy! I’ve had my mom’s and my mother-in-law’s birthday party, trying to organize my team stuff for the Wasatch Back (that is only two months away), and tests, tests, more tests, and finals. I feel like I haven’t done much cooking or exercising lately. Hopefully after this week it will get better. [...]

And we’re back…

I feel like I haven’t posted in forever! Last week I decided to change hosts and it turned out to be a MUCH bigger project then I planned or – or supposedly was supposed to be. It was so frustrating and every time I would get on to write I post, I would just get more [...]
What a good day!
April 10th, 2010 · 5 Comments · exercise, Recipes, Running
Happy Saturday – night! It’s 7:30pm and I am in bed working on the blog and watching Grey’s Anatomy. I know, I have such an exciting life! But really I’m only in bed because I have a post-run stomach ache. Other than that, today was a good day. I got a lot done and had [...]

Treats & Creeps
April 3rd, 2010 · No Comments · exercise, Recipes, Running
First for the treat… I’ve been looking for recipes all week for the perfect homemade fresh-fruit sorbet. I found like 20 recipes that looked good, each calling for different ingredients. Some for whole fruit, some for just the juice. Some for lots of sugar, some for just a little. Some for water, some for lemon juice. [...]
