Well guys, I have really been slacking. I have been slacking on my miles and I have been slacking on my posts! So much has happened in the last few months... a few of my friends and family have gotten engaged, pregnancies have been announced, my best friend moved to another state, and another friend… Continue reading Banking the Miles 2015: May Update

Race Recap: The Chip River Run 2015
This is my third year running this race, and every year it has been so very different. Not only the course but the conditions. Each year presents its own challenges, but this year... this year was definitely the most challenging. My lack of posts coincides with my lack of training. I have been seriously slacking.… Continue reading Race Recap: The Chip River Run 2015
Race Recap: A 10k On My Own
I wanted to run in a race every month this year, but between schedule conflicts and budget constraints, I wasn't able to register for a race in March. I was determined, though, to run a race. Particularly to run a 10k. So I mapped out a route from my house, set my Endomondo to race… Continue reading Race Recap: A 10k On My Own
What I Ate Wednesday # 8
Wednesdays for some reason always seem to be my hectic days. With my new job I work 10 hour days, and on Wednesdays I usually work a late day - so I work from 9:30am-8pm. Long days, and slightly awkward as far as eating throughout the day. Also, with my new job, I have started… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday # 8
Banking the Miles 2015: First Update!
I can't believe that March is almost coming to an end, and this is the first time I am posting about my miles for the year! 2015 has been a busy year so far, and it is only going to get busier. But recently I have really put my mind to keeping active and fueling… Continue reading Banking the Miles 2015: First Update!
Becoming Catholic: The Man Born Blind
When most people think of Lent, if they know anything about it, they think of "Oh, that's when you give up something for 40 days." While this is partially true - part of Lent is abstinence and penance, which goes along with giving up something - the biggest part of Lent for me, especially this… Continue reading Becoming Catholic: The Man Born Blind
Thirty Things Before 30
I'm 27. Â Ever since I turned 26, I have been somewhat dreading the big "three-oh". Â I know that these days 30 is the new 21, but there is just something about that age. Â It seems so "grown up". Â Ohh, I know I'm only as old as I feel, but I think society says once you… Continue reading Thirty Things Before 30
Keeping It Real: Every Body is Beautiful
It's January. Â We've all heard it... "new year, new you!" Â And we've all seen the increase in ads for gyms, weight loss products, etc. Â Heck, even my own work (I'm a registered dietitian for a bariatric surgery program) seems to have increased their advertising this month. Â With the onslaught of resolutions, my Facebook timeline has… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Every Body is Beautiful
Banking the Miles: November & December Update
It has been a while since your "keeping it real" dietitian shared her thoughts with the world. Â I posted in the beginning of November about how crazy life has been, and it really hasn't stopped. Â My husband and I have received so many blessings, and at the same time we've been through some really tough… Continue reading Banking the Miles: November & December Update
Banking the Miles: October Update
October and the beginning of November have been a roller coaster for me. Â 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. Â My diet and my exercise have suffered. I'm starting this week fresh, though. Â 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. Â Unfortunately right around our 2 year wedding anniversary I came down with a nasty bug that kept me from training. Â Not only did I get sick, but we also got a visit from the state at work… Continue reading Banking the Miles: September Update
Banking the Miles: August Update
It is officially September... my favorite month of the year! Â The end of summer, beginning of fall... new school year for students and teachers, the start of college football (Fire Up Chips!), Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Starbucks, leaves start to change, the start of fall weddings (including my own two years ago!), and the temperatures… Continue reading Banking the Miles: August Update
Race Recap: The Panda Bear Night Run
This year so far I have participated in 3 out of 4 of the Michigan Half Marathon Series races - The Chip River Run, The LittleFoot Run, and last night's Panda Bear Night Run. Â (Click the links to see my other race recaps!) Â Last night's 5k wasn't my best by any means, but it was… Continue reading Race Recap: The Panda Bear Night Run
Banking the Miles: July Update
Well, its been a while folks. Â And as usual, summer fun + hectic work weeks = no motivation to run. Â Needless to say... I did not meet my mileage goal for June, and probably won't for July either, but I have a feeling I will make up for the miles in the coming months. So… Continue reading Banking the Miles: July Update
Race Recap: Chip River Run 2014
Yesterday I ran my first race since my 10k back in March. Â In the meantime, I have really been "banking the miles" (I'll post an update on that later!) and staying very active. Â There were a few races in between that I could have done, but because we are trying to save money to fix… Continue reading Race Recap: Chip River Run 2014
