Hello! It’s my first round up of the year! I like to post my favorite run, eat and repeat every month. I actually didn’t do it December of last year – that is a red flag for my metal health(!!). But I’m back on it this month with all the highlights in RERland.
I might do the December and/or full year recap soon. Let’s see how together I can get it! I really love recap posts and things like ‘best of’ round-ups – I just need to take the time to put it together before I forget everything I did last year.
Anyway.
Let’s talk about the best run / eat / post I want to repeat from January!!
Best Run Eat Repeat from January 2018
Fave Run – 16 miler last weekend.
Last weekend I finally got back on track a tiny bit and stuck with my long run plan. It’s been really hard for me to get myself to do really long runs lately. It’s more of a mental thing than physical. Putting together the notes for this episode made me realize I’m really not confident in myself and my running right now and my mental game is bad.
BONUS: What I’m wearing in this pic… Fabletics tank and leggings.
The leggings are the most flattering I’ve ever worn. I’ve worked with them in the past and have pairs that are years old and still look great and the stretch and compression is super strong (I think that’s part of why they’re so flattering).
I’m working with them again this year so let me know if you have any questions.

Fave Eat – PIZZA!!
My favorite eat from the month is the pizza I had while watching Halt and Catch Fire with a friend we usually make a blue apron meal or something but I have been craving pizza like crazy. Actually my plan was almost foiled because two places I tried to order from didn’t workout. I ended up going with Pizza Hut because they have a Brooklyn style thin crust pizza. It worked and made me happy.
And honorable mention goes to Breakfast Potatoes in the Crockpot

Fave REPEAT – 3 things that will help me be a better runner
- Run first thing in the morning…
- Keep a running log… using an app instead and I downloaded my Garmin info
- Meal Plan… I did this great for 2 weeks and then fell off. Gotta get back on the wagon!
Honorable mention…
New Supplement post and Know your water post
So….
I finally checked in with my running watch and uploaded all the miles from the last few months. Turns out I was .76 miles away from running 200 miles in December!! Fail.
How many miles I ran this month:
December 2017 – I ran 199.24 miles
January 2018 – I ran 217.60 miles
December 2017 – I ran 199.24 miles
January 2018 – I ran 217.60 miles
Question: Would it super bug you if you almost ran 200 miles in a month but stopped at 199.24??

Thanks for the blog. Great inspiration and motivation. Love your blog…..
Yes, it would super bug me! And I was amused imagining you running around the block in pajamas in New Year’s Eve at like 11pm (if you had noticed you were that close… come on, you know you would have)! LOL! Having said that, you are a rock star for running that many miles. I’m always between 100-200 but RARELY have hit 200 much less 199.24. 🙂
That pizza looks amazing and I want it now.
I feel you on the confidence thing lately. Definitely February and definitely in a fog. This tends to happen every year in February so I was prepared for it and planning ahead but it’s day two and I feel like I’ve already been beat up! 2 of my 3 kids are down with a stomach bug and I’m crossing fingers and praying hard that I won’t get it. I hate being sick with a stomach but the most and will take a cold for a week instead of puking for 24 hours. To the point where it gave me an anxiety attack last night while I was holding hair and cleaning puke. Ugh, so lame. Anyway I feel that lately. And I know it will pass by I love that you acknowledge that you were in a slump and that you pulled yourself out because it helped me remember that I can pull myself out of it too.
Indeed would! I’m a little bit OCD, but I easily let it go because I basically can manage the little extra that I didn’t do and knowing that helps.
What app are you using to track your runs? I am looking for one. Currently just keeping it all on Garmin. Thanks!
Haha, it would bug me big time if I didn’t hit a full number, especially such a well-rounded one like 200! And also, pizza for days! 😉
