[...] June 22nd, 2012 This week was the start of Toni’s Welcome to Summer Virtual 5k and 10k. I signed up for both- I ran my 5k on Tuesday and plan to use part of my long run on Saturday for the 10k. I’ve been struggling to maintain a decent pace in the Texas heat, so I decided to [...] June 17th, 2012 Happy Father’s day!! Hope you’re all making a big deal out of the dads in your life. The dad in our house requested a wings and baseball night last evening… easy enough! But we’ll do our best to make today extra special, too. Today, my friend Angela is sharing her running story. She’s a [...] June 11th, 2012 I love lists. And I love goals. Apparently, this is pretty typical for a first-born child. So when Fitfluential Ambassadors were encouraged to create a “fitness bucket” list, I was excited to get right to work… Here’s a glimpse of what I came up with: In the next 1-2 years: Try a triathlon Qualify for [...] June 4th, 2012 I mentioned in the May recap that I read Running on Empty this month. I couldn’t put it down! Marshall Ulrich tells his story of becoming an endurance athlete (including ultra-running and ascending the Seven Summits), and documents his final personal challenge: a 52 day run across America. He writes with a touching humility and [...] June 1st, 2012 Happy June 1st! It’s time to revisit my 2012 goal post for another monthly recap. Here’s May!

In the final paragraphs, I casually added that I hoped this would be either a year of another marathon or a baby. I feel like it’s time to elaborate on that. First of all, I’m not pregnant. I’ve hinted before that we had [...] May 7th, 2012 After my 5k a few weeks ago, I was planning to back off racing that distance until we had some better weather. But I got a lot of encouragement to do a few more, even if they’re just for fun, and use it as speed work. So at the last minute this week, I came [...] April 30th, 2012 Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I’m a little tired today, but 18 hours of training and 90+ spinning miles later, I am officially approved to teach spin! It was a powerful experience– I was really impressed with our trainer and I soaked up a lot of new information from him, both related to [...] April 16th, 2012 Happy Monday! I’m excited to be tracking runners in Boston later this morning… I hope everyone runs smart in the heat! On Saturday, I ran my second 5k. Even though I’ve been running for years, I intentionally avoided the 5k distance until just this past November! Honestly, it just sounded painful. But one of my [...]  |
