This is the reality of training for a marathon - CHAFING. It sucks people, but I am not here to lie to you. There will be chafing. Before training for a full mary I had ran 13 miles many times. I had experienced some irritation, but nothing really bothersome (I don't think it's necessary to get ... Read More about Lesson # 8 – Chafing, yep you heard me.

6 Miles - Today I got out early and saw a big ol' raccoon on my run :) That is not a common site around here. I was kinda scared of him(her?) because he was so BIG!

Food Find- Greek Yogurt at Costco

Uncategorized

22 Jan

I was very happy to find 0% Fage at Costco yesterday. This huge container was only $6.99. Not too shabby huh? I know different areas have different selections, so this may or may not be available near you, but I know greek yogurt is often hard to find and more expensive than other yogurts so I ...

Water water everywhere…

Uncategorized

22 Jan

I drink a lot of water. No, really, a lot! My fiancé always jokes that waiters and waitresses must think I have a problem because they have to fill up my water glass so many times during one meal. Staying hydrated is essential for me, and I love having crisp, clean water to drink. That's why I’m ... Read More about Water water everywhere…

Much needed comedic relief

Uncategorized

My friend Adriel and I were looking for a band-aid in the office First Aid kit when we came across - Cramp Tabs for Menstrual Relief.

Engagement Story

So a lot of peeps have asked about how the BF proposed. Unfortunately it's not a super dramatic love tale. I was thinking about making one up that would have you all gushing, but I decided against (mostly because I'm not in a creative mood). Ha. Anyway, those who are planning to propose to their ...

I met a new friend on my run today. I was doing 13 miles on a bike path nearby and at mile 8 a guy ran up beside me and started asking if I was training for a race.
