It’s day 19 of the Pile on the Miles Challenge!! How are you doing? Check in and keep it up!!
My Food Find for the week are the Tone It Up Bars. Have you tried them? What’s your review?
I like – plant based, no soy, 10g protein, 160 calories, chocolate chips
Would skip because of the prices – 4 bars per package for $6.99
Motivation of the Day:
“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier
Running Tips:
Today’s Rachel is on Instagram at @Rach_adventures
You can give another runner ONE tip. What is it?
“Just ONE?!?! If you’re going to run long distances find the right underwear for you. It could even be no underwear! Whatever you choose a good pair can make all the difference in chaffing.”
What do you do when you feel like quitting? Have a mantra? Trick? Other??
“When I feel like quitting in a run I will usually do run walk for a but to give myself a break. I also remind myself that running is supposed to be fun and to stop being so worried about pace, time, etc and to just remember how incredibly lucky I am to be able to run and test myself mentally and physically.”
What’s your secret to staying motivated?
“Having someone to talk to about running, even if we don’t run together just someone to complain to, get tips and encouragement from. Having a running buddy helps keep me motivated and let’s me know everyone is always working on/towards their own idea of improving their running. Also eating, I love eating at least I can justify what I eat by the fact that, ‘I did a long run.’”

My Garmin says 9608 steps… I think its lying!
Just kidding. Today was a hard day emotionally so I did the best I could. Glad this is all almost over!
I really enjoy RX Bars. They’re also a bit pricey ( i buy them on the site when they’re on sale), nothing but good nutrition and SOOO Tastey. They currently have pumpkin spice flavored ones that are my absolute FAVE! You should give them a try 😀
Did strengthening exercise
I ran near the Elk today in our ten mile ride ‘n tie relay race. Two people, one bike. It was my first time doing it. We had a blast- well my teammate is still complaining. But I had sooo much fun. You alternate running and biking for ten miles. It was a beautiful 28 degrees here in Chicago but the sun was shining and we got FIRST in our age group! They combine your ages do we were 107! Ha. Feels good to be back after a few sluggish days.

Haha, I love Rachel’s tip on comfy underwear for running. It’s something I never really gave much thought to.
