Disclaimer: The following post is a product review. Through my affiliation with Fit Approach, I was provided with the opportunity to review the July Kona Kase in exchange for a review. As always, all opinions are my own. The July Kona Kase offered a lot of new products and a few that I was really excited to test out! Out of the things I’ve tried in the Kona Kase, the Perky Jerky is by far my favorite this month. I’ve seen {Read More}

Marathon Training: Week #4
July 29, 2013 by 2 Comments
Hello, Marathon Training: Week #4! I can’t believe that another week of marathon (and Nuun Hood to Coast and Dumbo Challenge) training for Marine Corps Marathon is in the books! I feel like I am getting back to a level of fitness that makes me happy and most importantly, I’m healthy. With Hood to Coast less than a month away, staying healthy is KEY! I can’t wait to get to Oregon and meet my Nuun teammates already. Here are my runs {Read More}

July 26, 2013 by 4 Comments
I have some random ramblings for you. 1.) Lots of you sent messages wondering about my new watch. It is the Garmin 610 and I am in love!

Honestly, just looking at it makes me smile. Hello, running geek. I have barely scratched {Read More}

Just when I thought things were settling down, we had to spice things up last week. By spice things up, I mean throw in a sick mommy and daughter, a missed day of work and school for the two of us, and a birthday weekend to end the week. Needless to say, mileage was not where I wanted it to be but life happens and it is what it is. MON: RESTTUES: Missed run #1 of the weekWED: REST (READ: {Read More}

Last year I devoted a post to ZOOMA 2012 swag and it still gets page views every time a ZOOMA event is on the horizon. Runners like to know that their race entry fee is going to come back to them in the form of swag. And, I have to say, that ZOOMA know how to make a runner happy with all of their fantastic ZOOMA Swag. Here is the 2013 swag that I received at ZOOMA Annapolis!
