Today was my last long run before the OC Half Marathon! I like to do a “dress rehearsal” before a race and wear the same clothes/eat the same thing that I will for the race. But…I didn’t bring my favorite shorts to Ben’s so my dress rehearsal wasn’t perfect. However it was a success, as in I finished 14 miles!…

After over a year of blogging I finally had my first blogger meet up tonight! I met Meghann, Ashley and Chantelle!

Like I said before, I don’t think it’s that bad to drink straight up, but that may be because I was expecting it to taste horrible. It’s all relative. 5.7 miles –…

Lead by example
I am not doing well with the intuitive eating right now. I am actually doing the opposite of Intuitive Eating. When I was hungry today I tried to avoid eating. Then, when I was overly full I ate more. WTF. I really believe in Intuitive Eating and I want to lose weight by listening to my body. I also want to…
