Never Thought the Day Would Come

by Beth April 20, 2012

Not to sound overly cocky, but I really know my stuff when it comes to reading food labels. I’ve heard other people say they’d been fooled by misreading a nutrition label many times, but I always thought they just weren’t looking carefully enough or just weren’t as label savvy as I am. Modesty at its [...]

Since I have been out of the regular blogging circuit for a couple weeks, I have some random updates for you! 1.) I ran a 5 mile race this past Saturday – the one my friend Amber wrote about organizing! It was called Run for Parkinson’s and supported her charity, Move4Mobility. She raised over $5,000 [...]

So as I mentioned yesterday, my vacation was VERY low key and relaxing. We ended up spending almost all of our time on the beach, at the pool, or at the timeshare and cooked every meal at home except for two lunches out, and one time ordering carry out pizza. The thing that was great [...]

Hi! Sorry for the extended/unannounced blogging hiatus! After I posted the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler recap, I had a super busy week and then got a major allergy attack later in the week that left me out of commission for a couple days. Then all of a sudden it was time to leave for vacation [...]

On Sunday, I ran the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler for the third year in a row and walked away feeling like a million bucks and with a new PR! I love the strategy of running a half marathon a week or two before a 10 mile race because the 10 miler feels really good after [...]

First, can I just say how much I love Amazon.com? I order things from them all.the.time. and the prices are great, the delivery is fast, and the customer service is excellent. A prime example is how last week, I ordered a new hairdryer and diet cream soda mix for my SodaStream. Since I am an [...]

by Beth March 28, 2012

Sooo many people ask me where I found the motivation to change my life. I’d say it’s probably the most common thing that anyone wants to know when they find out how much weight I’ve lost or how I haven’t always been a runner and now have three (soon to be four!) half marathons under [...]

I have some random (good) things to share today. Here we go! 1.) I did my first run post half-marathon last night. Granted, it was just 2 miles, but it felt good to get a run in so soon after the half! My general MO is that I take a really long time to get [...]

RnR USA: The Aftermath

by Beth March 21, 2012

So let me tell you that after the half marathon on Saturday, I was sorer than I’ve EVER been after any half marathon before. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I wasn’t well trained on the distance portion, though I definitely prepared myself for the hills. As soon as [...]

Rock n Roll USA: Half Marathon Recap

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; running races, and even just thinking about it, makes me SO emotional that it makes it tough for me to figure out the right words to start to recap my experience with. I’ve been staring at this blank screen trying to find the words to say [...]
