Are you part of the Joints That Crack club? Matt’s the president, and I’m an active member. (Seriously, when Matt runs, his ankle clicks about every 5 seconds. It freaks me out.) Although it can be annoying, the popping joint sounds are actually a normal problem, but make sure to see a doctor if pain…
A Few of My Favorite Things
Walking has been a challenge these past few days… Thank God for elevators and railings. I can’t believe how insanely sore I am after the half marathon. Everything hurts. It complicates my daily activities, but I’ll have to admit a part of me kind of enjoys it. The feeling of earning such soreness is kind…
Dark Chocolate Almond Oatmeal
I mentioned my love for dark chocolate almond milk recently, and today, I’m going to share how I’ve used it over the last 2 or so weeks. For breakfast! I eat oatmeal just about every morning, and while I usually stick to my Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal recipe, it’s nice to mix things up a bit…with…
San Diego Safari Park Half Marathon Recap
As many of you are aware, we ran the Safari Park Half Marathon yesterday, so I’m here to recap the experience. We made sure to hydrate ourselves all day Saturday, since the race was supposed to be a hot one. What’s the best way to hydrate? Play drinking games…with water. It works. We arrived at…
Half Marathon Playlist
Hey, party people!! It is the most beautiful day of the week – Friday!! You know what that means: Time to avoid alcohol, go for a light run, stay hydrated, and get plenty of sleep. Oh wait – that’s because my half marathon is in 2 days. On Monday I mentioned I might be injured,…
A Few of My Favorite Things
So as everyone is probably aware… Tomorrow. I don’t know about you people, but I’m pretty excited about this month. 1. I’m going to a Backstreet Boys concert. 2. Wedding season starts for me, with my cousin’s wedding being on the 31st. 3. I get to see mi familia! 5 months is ENTIRELY too long…
The Most California Weekend Ever + I’m Injured?
It occurred to me on Sunday morning how our weekend was ridiculously “California.” Every activity we partook in seemed like something a stereotypical Californian would do. First off, we visited Mission Brewery on Friday night. Matt bought a GroupOn for a free growler (aka jug o’ beer), 2 refills, and membership (I think we get…
My Top 5 Favorite Circuit Workouts
I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t revisit old posts enough. I use my old recipes and workouts all the time for reference, but I figured I should revisit some oldies that I consider goodies just in case you people are not aware. Since the beginning of Gettin’ My Healthy On, I have posted…
My Favorite Things
IT HAPPENED. IT FINALLY HAPPENED. I went on a run, and it felt GOOD. I very rarely label a run as “good” – maybe “okay” or “not bad” but never “good.” The clouds hid the sun just enough, the breeze made it pleasantly cool, and the stars must have been aligned just right because I’ve…
Cheesy Potatoes Au Gratin
Since Matt and I don’t live near our families, most holidays consist of us chillin’ like villains and making a bunch of food because we can. I went all out on Thanksgiving last year, and this past Sunday, we decided to cook up a little feast for ourselves again. We did the whole ham dealio…
You Can Never Have Too Many Dresses + Training Update
Although I can randomly be very girly, I kind of hate shopping. Dealing with horrible San Diego parking lots (or lack of), squeezing through crowds, not being able to find what you need – I just don’t find it to be the most enjoyable activity. However, lately, that has not been the case. In case…
My Job as a Writer
A lot of the time, I find it strange to tell people details about my life because I often wonder, “Who even cares?” But personally, I find it fascinating to read about people’s lives. Creepy? Definitely. I actually attended a social event for local PR professionals last night, and it was fun to talk about…
A Few of My Favorite Things
As horrible as morning workouts are, I’m really missing them these days. I wrote a post awhile back about motivation to workout in the morning, and two months later I got a full-time job (yay!) and wasn’t able to workout until later in the day (womp womp). Although it’s hard to get up early to…
The Emotions I Go Through on a Long Run
It’s getting so close! 19 more days until our half marathon! To be honest, I cannot WAIT to be done with training. The shorter runs are all fine and dandy, but these long runs I’ve been doing on Sundays have been a tad bit difficult. I usually don’t do more than 4 miles for “fun,”…
I Have the Worst Running Form in the World
I’m convinced I have the worst running form of all time. The few pictures I have featured on GMHO of me running have been carefully selected to not expose my hideous form. The worst part? I have never realized that I look ridiculous when I run until I saw the pictures of me running my…
