No, not these legs… Although I must say that these Team Lemonade Pro Compression socks are pretty fabulous! I am talking about the three legs that I will be running at Hood to Coast this weekend! As Runner #3 for Nuun‘s Team Lemonade, I will be tackling these runs: Leg #3: Hello downhill. The goal is to not go out too hard and rock steady. Cool. Okay, moving on… Rating: Easy / Mileage: 3.93 Leg #15: This will be my longest leg {Read More}
I can’t believe that another week of marathon (and Nuun Hood to Coast and Dumbo Challenge) training 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 from last week: MON: Rest TUES: Skipped WED: {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}

To start off the new year, I wrote a post about my goals for the year. I wanted to update you all on my progress and set some new goals for myself as we head into the summer. Goal #1. BE KIND TO MY BODY: I stink at this. I am keeping this as my number one goal because I do not stretch, ice, do yoga and foam roll nearly as regularly as I would like and it shows. My IT {Read More}
Last week, after the events in Boston, I really needed a pick me up. Wednesday, I got more than a pick me up as it was announced that I made Nuun‘s Hood to Coast Relay Team. I could not be more excited to join 19 other running bloggers on this journey! For a list of my teammates, be sure to check out Nuun’s team announcement here. Now it’s time to decide on my top three choices for leg preferences. Check {Read More}
A few weeks ago, Nuun announced that they would once again be forming teams for the 2013 Hood to Coast relay. Last year, I was brand new to the blogging world when Nuun announced that they were taking applications for Hood to Coast. I didn’t apply. I watched the race weekend unfold via the blogs and social media outlets of the Nuun runners and kicked myself for not putting myself out there and giving it a shot. So this year, when Nuun made the announcement {Read More}
