Hello! How are you? I’m on another Spring Cleaning mission today. I feel like I used to be a hoarder and now I’m a thrower (or whatever you’d call the opposite of a hoarder). I don’t want anything in my house that I don’t use on the regular.
Some of my stuff is super cute, but I don’t use it so hopefully a Good Will patron will appreciate it 
At least I didn’t donate my co-worker’s lunches…

Snacks for cleaning… Blue Diamond Almonds with Coconut and random things from the bulk bins. You know.
What I Wore to the Duxbury Half Marathon
The Duxbury Half Marathon threw me a curve ball in terms of what to wear to the race. Here is what I had to consider…
A.) It was colder than I’m used to.
2.) It was forecasted to rain at the race.
C.) I needed to pack everything I’d need since it was an out of town race.
F.) I would also need a change of clothes since we’d be running an extra 6 miles before the half marathon.
So, this is what I wore…
ProCompression Visor. Per usual.
HOKA ONE ONE shoes
I ended up taking off the top layer and wearing it around my waist for the race like a rookie. But the forecast said 80% chance of rain and I thought I would need it. Luckily, it didn’t rain during the race (just for a bit on our pre-race miles).
Talking About Training for a Marathon…
I’m answering Tina’s questions about Marathon Training here –
Check out Marathon Talk with Monica III on Carrots N Cake!
Am usually quite chatty but wasn’t feeling it this morning…so it was a relatively quiet session with my trainer.
I am in full spring cleaning mode right now for sure! It’s in the air! Loved your race outfit especially the hoka one one’s!
I hate cleaning, we have too much stuff and no matter how much I try to purge we still have too much
Thank goodness my hubby cleans because I hate it. I cook and he cleans. It works.
I got rid of SO. MUCH. STUFF last spring / summer when prepping for a x-country move. I still have more to sell/donate/toss but I had two massive garage sales, about 15 trips to goodwill and rented a roll off dumpster………..(we are a family of four so lots of stuff to get rid of – stuff kids had outgrown, etc). It was super duper awesome! I also probably cut my clothes in half – I’ve been inspired by Project333 although I”m not officially doing it (yet)!
I talk about running mostly with my husband and via text with my former running partners in the last town I lived in. Need to find some peeps in ATL to run with but I’ve been lazy!
I go through hoarding/purging phases all the time. Right now I think I’m hoarding… I need to start throwing some things away!!
I’m a clothes hoarder. My closet is bursting at the seams and I definetly need to weed through that bad boy and purge everything I don’t wear. Bridesmaid dresses, business wear from my old job that I just don’t need, random going out stuff….see hoarder.
Spring cleaning for me lasts all 4 seasons. I am so slow. Usually things go to my spare room….then to the garage and then one day i just toss it. I guess i need the stages. I rip band aids off slow. LOL.
I tend to talk to my boyfriend a lot about running since he runs too. And he’s so supportive. I also have a ton of running friends and we have a little Facebook group we use to discuss everything from training to races to injury.
I have a friend who has run a couple marathons and is way more into the actual running/racing scene than I am so I direct a lot of my running questions to her. My injury questions I direct to my friend who is a physical therapist, but thankfully I haven’t had many of those recently (knock on wood).
My husband is a hoarder and I am the order. I love to clean, I find it cathartic but I also get a little too wrapped up in it. OCD Problems, LOL
I talk to my friend Cheryl about running and the entire group of Tampa Bay Bloggers is very supportive as well. I’m lucky to be surrounded by a ton of fitness junkies! 🙂
Spring cleaning is on the docket this month. Trying to get ready for a garage sale in May! 🙂
Spring cleaning hasn’t started yet but I love doing it! I go through periods of keeping everything and then a few months later I get rid of it all.
I usually talk to my dad about running – he knows plenty and is always happy to share. Plus he got me into running in the first place!
I have a good friend I talk to about my struggles with working out. We keep it funny and send each other workout memes. Actually since I moved I don’t have a running buddy so it’s been tough to motivate myself.
I HATE spring cleaning. I feel so great once it is done, but I can just never motivate myself to do it. My mom is moving next week and she keeps telling me I need to come over and go through everything in my room so I suppose that needs to happen this week. That will be enough spring cleaning to last me a few springs lol
Spring cleaning = moving out over here, which has yet to begin. Who knew that packing up a dorm room could be so much work?!
I definitely need to figure out how to run in the rain. I go to school in Vancouver, for goodness sake’s, and yet I meticulously plan my running so that I am dry 110% of the time.
I talk to my personal trainer and friend Lyndsey. I text her daily! I don’t know what I would have done without her. (http://broccoliandbarbells.com)
I am planning on spring cleaning next week. I have the week off before heading back to work and am getting my checklist ready now! 🙂
I LOVE spring cleaning!! I am also the opposite of a hoarder, but I think I could still do better. I went through my kitchen last weekend, my paperwork and documents monday, got everything organized for my car, my cat, my money, all that. SO good.
I talk about running with…. everyone? I’m part of a run club up here in LA and a LOT of my friends are runners. So we tend to talk about running a lot, and then when we run together talk about everything except running 🙂
Spring cleaning? That hasn’t happened yet…
