In May I completed my first ever run/walk streak - I participated in the "Still I Run" streak for Mental Health Awareness month, and I walked or ran at least 1 mile every day in the month of May. I came close to breaking my streak a few times but I was determined to accomplish… Continue reading May 2018 Training Recap

Transformation Tuesday
If you had asked me 8 years ago when I started running if I would ever run a half marathon, I probably would have laughed in your face. At that time, I could barely run a mile. I wasn't even sure about running the 5k that I had signed up for in the fall. That… Continue reading Transformation Tuesday
Race Recap: Go the Extra Miles for Covenant Kids Half Marathon
Today I ran my first half marathon. This race has been a few years in the making. I was signed up for a half marathon in November 2014, but due to personal reasons I wasn't able to run. I signed up for the same half a year later, but ended up with a nasty cough… Continue reading Race Recap: Go the Extra Miles for Covenant Kids Half Marathon
Ready To Go in 2015!
This post will be my go-to for the races I want to run this year. One of my goals is to run one race every month in 2015. My big goal of the year is to run a half marathon! I will probably aim to run the Mid-Land Half in November, but who knows... maybe… Continue reading Ready To Go in 2015!
Banking the Miles: October Update
October and the beginning of November have been a roller coaster for me. I've had some huge ups and even bigger downs, I've experienced every emotion in the last couple of weeks in the most intense form. My diet and my exercise have suffered. I'm starting this week fresh, though. I have lots of reasons… Continue reading Banking the Miles: October Update
Banking the Miles: September Update
I wish I could say that I was starting this month feeling AWESOME about my half marathon training. Unfortunately right around our 2 year wedding anniversary I came down with a nasty bug that kept me from training. Not only did I get sick, but we also got a visit from the state at work… Continue reading Banking the Miles: September Update

My Goals for 2014: June Update
Cancel my membership at my current gym and get a new membership somewhere else (the new place has an indoor track and fitness classes that I hope will motivate me to be more active). DONE before the New Year even started! :) Buy a fitness class punch card for 10 classes each month and attend 10… Continue reading My Goals for 2014: June Update
Banking the Miles: It’s All Downhill From Here!
May was an awesome month for running. I averaged about 10 miles per week, which is the best I have ever done. In the past it's been like... oooh, this week I ran about 14 miles and the next week I manage 6 if I am lucky. But I have been more consistent in my… Continue reading Banking the Miles: It’s All Downhill From Here!
Banking the Miles: April Update
I can't believe that we are already almost a week into April. Time flies when you're having fun! Or in my case, when you fill your life with awesome people and entertaining things to do. While I haven't really kept up on all of my goals for this year, I have been staying active. I… Continue reading Banking the Miles: April Update
Banking the Miles
Last year I challenged myself each month to walk, run or bike more miles than the month before. This year I am challenging myself to beat last year's mileage every month. This shouldn't be difficult to achieve since I am planning to... wait for it... ... ... run a half marathon in November. Yep... my… Continue reading Banking the Miles
