Tired Legs and Mini Eggs

Wowza! I could really feel yesterday's speed work in my legs today. It took me a good 30 minutes to really feel good in my run this morning. I ended up doing 6.5 on the treadmill in 60 minutes. I had to sprint at the end of the hour so I could end exactly on the 6.5 miles. Does anyone else do that? I feel like I have to finish on the mile, 0.25, 05, or .75. Yes, I am officially weird like that. As evidenced by this sweaty gym locker room photo.


Wait, you're supposed to put flattering pictures of yourself on your blog? Whoops. 
P.S. How colorful is this locker room? A little much, no?

Dinner tonight was mix of grains (bulgar wheat, quinoa, rice) some delicious kale and a bit of turkey. Dessert was mini eggs. And then some mini eggs. There is actually some left in the bag, so...let's just say that between Tim and I we can probably make them disappear by bedtime. 

Mmmm....
Any good workouts today? :)

    These mini eggs are what drove me to give up candy for Lent!! I LOVEEE them and ate a half bag plus a half bag of reeses eggs in one sitting on the tuesday before Lent started. I felt so sick, I swore off candy. Now I can't wait to have them again!

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful...

Just a Handful is Enough! Bra Review and Giveaway

You know those people who said running is the cheapest sport because all you need is shoes? Well, they're clearly not women. For me to have a successful run, I need a good pairs of shoes, wicking socks, shorts that don't chafe me, a non-cotton top, my Garmin, some body glide, and a sports bra. And let's be honest here--sometimes finding the right bra can be the most difficult part of all.  For my chest size (aka the cups aren't exactly "running over") it seems like sports bras come in two styles: 1) flattening compression bras 2) completely unsupportive bras Well, call me vain if you want, but I like to have support when I run, and also keep a little shape. And I definitely want people to recognize that I'm a woman when I run past! That's why I'm so excited to be the proud new owner of a  HANDFUL  bra!  I'm in love!  Handful bras  are designed to "flatter, not flatten" and it's true! Removable pads contour the body and keep so...

Chobani Review and Giveaway!

I'm pretty sure it's not a secret that me and Greek yogurt are in a serious relationship. I know, I know...hubby can read this. But he's well aware of the affair. At least once a day I need my fix. Sometimes it's a mid-morning snack with fruit, or a lunchtime topper for baked potatoes. Other times it's the sweet dessert topped with fruit and chocolate shavings that completes my night. Plain, vanilla, fruity...I could wax poetic about the stuff for ages. Don't worry, I won't. What I will say is that as much as I love Greek yogurt, I figured it was all the same. I saved a little money (18 cents on each container at my local store) in order to get the cheaper no-name brand. Then Chobani was on sale, so I picked up a few. Um, this stuff is THICK! So much creamier and thicker - and tastier - than any other brand I've tried. Sorry, extra 18 cents. You are now being diverted to my Chobani fund. I won a Chobani giveaway a couple of weeks ago hosted by ...
