I haven’t participated in the Friday Five link up in a while… too long in fact! So, this week is all about my favorite winter activities! With winter temps here to stay for a while, there are very few things that will draw me out of the house and into the cold. Running is one of those things. I love going for a run outside after a fresh layer of snow is on the ground. It’s typically a beautiful sight and {Read More}
Thinking Out Loud - December 11 Edition
December 11, 2014 by 16 Comments
Just about a month ago, I participated in my very first Thinking Out Loud post with Running with Spoons. This week, I decided to play along again and fill you in on what is going on in my neck of the woods lately! 1.) Running is getting much better! I don’t have any issues with my hamstring or piriformis. I think that may have something to do with keeping my mileage low. I haven’t gone for a run over four {Read More}
Getting Started with Tria Beauty
December 9, 2014 by 3 Comments
Disclaimer: I received the Hair Removal Laser Precision for review from Tria Beauty. I received no additional compensation. As always, all opinions are my own! It’s winter. I don’t mean to state the obvious but it’s really hard for me to face the reality of snow and cold temperatures for the next few months. So, as I am bundling up, I’m and already planning my spring race schedule and a warm weather vacation to get me out of this {Read More}
I Mustache YOU Some Questions…
November 29, 2014 by 8 Comments
Leslie, my vanmate from Hood to Coast, tagged me in to participate in this fun little post, I Mustache YOU Some Questions. Here goes nothing! Four names that people call me, other than my real name: 1. Lis - Most people shorten my name. 2. Lee - And, it also gets shortened to this. 3. Pokorn - My last name somehow was shortened…Sigh, high school taunting/immature flirting at its best. 4. Lisa Pizza - My mom called me this since pizza was {Read More}
Thinking Out Loud
November 13, 2014 by 13 Comments
It’s marathon season! And, pretty much since the weekends of the Chicago and Marine Corps Marathon, everyone and their mother has been running, busting out PRs and soaking in the glory of the race and I’m over here munching on pancakes every Sunday morning. But, please don’t get me wrong, munching on pancakes on the weekends has been fantastic! Our weekends are full of fun, family time and friends. It’s been a blessing in disguise to not feel the urge to rush {Read More}
2014 Fitness Blogger Meet and Tweet NYC
October 25, 2014 by 4 Comments
Last Thursday, I attended the 2014 Fitness Blogger Meet and Tweet NYC (aka #fitblognyc) hosted by Fitness Magazine! Let me just say that it was such an honor to be invited to this event and it definitely lived up to all the social media hype! I surprisingly made it to the Mercedes Club without much fuss! The venue itself was really spectacular and certainly as luxurious as fitness centers come. Thank you for hosting us Mercedes Club! After checking in and {Read More}
A New Year: 2014 Blogging Goals
January 2, 2014 by 30 Comments
In addition to my running goals for 2014 {still trying to sort those out…stay tuned}, I have personal, professional, and blogging goals. I find that goals help keep me grounded and push me to be a better version of myself. I thought I would share a few of the goals I have for Lisa Runs for Cupcakes in the upcoming year. 1.) Focus on consistency and frequency of blog posts. Since starting my new job in November, my blogging has gone {Read More}
Looking Back: 2013 Goals
January 1, 2014 by 6 Comments
Looking back at the beginning of 2013, I wrote a post setting out three running related goals. For me, the New Year is the perfect time of year to sit down and outline your hopes and dreams for the next twelve months. Why three? Well, when it comes to running, I like to keep things manageable. A laundry list of goals isn’t going to get me very far, at least not the way that I tend to operate. I need goals {Read More}

Sorry for the delay but it has been a really FUN filled few weeks 🙂 I arrived in Seattle on Wednesday evening (8/21).

Three Things Thursday! 7/18
July 18, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I can honestly say, I have never done one of these posts but I have some random ramblings that I want to share and thought this would be perfect! 1. It’s almost my birthday! I’m excited because that means cupcakes! Not that I need a reason for a cupcake, but I enjoy celebrating with my family. Plus, my daughter gets so darn excited about celebrating my birthday that it is hard to not be excited right along with her. FYI: {Read More}
