Happy Happy Saturday! My favorite day of the week is finally here. The best part of my morning? Attempting a “longish run” which will be 8 very slow miles (yes you read that right!), but looking at where I am coming from this pretty much makes my entire week. The fact...

Happy Friday! I am more than ready for the weekend! Today is my rest day and I plan to use every moment of it to let my body rest and recover. This has been a great week workout wise and I feel like my body and I have finally comes to terms with what is working...

After yesterday morning’s post a very awesome reader, Michael, gave me a challenge. I loved it so much I really wanted to share it with you. I don’t know why this hit me so hard, but it did. I love the idea of focusing on what we are instead of what we aren’t....

This week I have been doing a much better job focusing on my strength training. Each day I make it a point to get at least 20 minutes in either after I finish running or later in the day. I really do enjoy breaking it up sometimes because it allows my body a little...

I’ve got a pretty deep post coming at you today, are you ready? Sometimes I like to get really honest. I like to almost make myself feel better by venting on my blog. This is one of those days where I won’t probably be as positive and happy as I may seem most...

My first day of switching up my workout routine was a success! I am slowly starting to increase my running after two weeks of pretty much doing the same thing. Today I had a 4.5 mile run on the agenda. The run itself went well. I still catch myself...

Form is vital for runners. We often don’t pay attention to it enough because it is easy to skip, but it can really reduce your risk of injury and can help make your running more efficient and fluent. I have always struggled with landing too much on my heels....

Good morning! Happy Monday and new week to you all! I don’t know about you, but I am ready for a reset. Last week was kind of a struggle, so I’m ready to refocus and take this week by storm. I am going to back up a bit to Saturday. After we got in our workouts...
