I love traveling. I love the airport. I love the excited energy that buzzes around the airport. I don’t love having my first flight delayed on the tarmac 30 minutes, running to my second flight, seeing the plane is still there, but the doors are closed – and being refused on board! I ran from my first flight with my…

Going to Mississippi – for work
Today I spend a lot of my morning figuring out my travel plans for this week. I am going to Mississippi tomorrow to cover a story about a church that is building a home for a family who lost everything in Katrina. Sounds like a great story, doesn’t it?! I am leaving tomorrow morning (early) and will be back by…

The Notebook
In case you missed it, here’s my half mary recap 🙂 The race’s results said my net time was 1:50:48 – with a pace of 8:28. Unbelievable!

Good Days and Bad Days
We all have good days and bad days. When the “bad” days start to be a little too frequent it’s a good time to reevaluate what you’re doing wrong and what you’re doing right. It doesn’t help to dwell on the bad day. Today was one of my bad days because I didn’t eat full meals so I was really…

For dinner I fueled up on an entire Chipotle burrito… Actually, this was my first Chipotle burrito (I only tried the bowl before) and expected it to change my…

Freedom’s Run Half Marathon
I ran the Freedom’s Run Half Marathon today! This was my first race on the east coast and the terrain is definitely different from SoCal. This race was actually in West Virgina and was about 70 miles away so we left the house at 6am to get there in time for the 9am race (I still had to pick up…

Prerace Eating: Salty Carbs and Water
Since I have a half marathon tomorrow I am carb-loading today the best way I know how = Salty Carbs and Water. I totally believe in salty carbs before a race. I have eaten salty carbs before races and long runs for a while now and swear by it. My prerace meal of choice is some kind of Chinese food…

Are you out there?
Hello, are you out there? I lost some readers in the blog makeover so, don’t forget to update your Readers and pass the word on 🙂 I woke up and did some light strength training with my hand weights in the front room while watching Jon & Kate and the Duggars. I love reality TV. I was going to hit…
