OH HEY! I’m all hopped up on endorphins because I had an awesome workout. I started off with the following treadmill run: I can’t even remember the last time I ran on the treadmill, so I somewhat enjoyed it. Our apartment complex got new machines in the workout room, which stalled my run for…
Shredded Italian Beef in the Crockpot
Starting dinner in the a.m. is kind of awesome. Throwing it in the crockpot makes life so much easier. Cooking meat, especially, tends to result in a fantastic meal thanks to the slow cooking. That’s exactly what happened with the following Italian Beef recipe. (Adapted from this recipe.) Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups beef broth 1/2…
Partying Hardy, Rock Climbing, and a Brewery Visit
Hello and Happy President’s Day! If you’re one of the lucky ones (like Matt), you have the day off from work today. We’ve been partying hardy all morning. And by party hardy, I mean we went for a run, ran some errands, and are now eating mac ‘n’ cheese for lunch. #PartyAnimals Around 7:30 this…
10 Fails for Friday
As I was going through my pictures from the past few days, I realized they all have a little fail thrown in. Call it a pessimistic post if you wish. I find each one more funny than anything. Fail #1 No flash on my camera. Like I mentioned Wednesday, Matt and I went downtown for…
My Favorite Valentine’s Day Things
This week has been dedicated to my husband since it’s his birthday week. We actually celebrated last night since we’re planning to go out right after work today. And by celebrate his birthday, I mean we had cake and he opened his present(s). The candles say 25, if you can’t tell. Turns out only 24 candles…
Board Games & Nacho Cheese Make Life Better
It appears to be Monday again! I’m going to head out for a run of some sort in a little while. I’ll probably go around 5 miles and stay at a normal pace, nothing too difficult. Towards the end of my marathon training, running was really starting to lose its luster. Therefore, I want to…
5 Ways I Prevented Injury During Race Training
Guess where I’m going this weekend! [Source] Okay, that’s a lie. I’ll be going near Disneyland to visit family who actually are going to Disney. It just sounds more exciting to say I’m going there. I’ve actually never been to Disneyland before. I’ve been to DisneyWORLD twice in my life, but that’s all. Just enough…
My Favorite SUPER BOWL Things
Good news! I’m walking like a normal person again! The whole working out thing still isn’t happening, though, since I’m still quite sore from the marathon on Sunday. I’m hoping to do something light in the next few days, so we’ll see how that goes. I DO plan to attempt some foam rolling today. Let’s…
Honey Stinger Review
When I began training for my marathon about 6 months ago, I was exploring the world of running fuel and stumbled upon the Honey Stinger brand. [Source] I’ve heard of people eating candy during long runs to give them a bit of energy, and hey, that may work for some people. A downside to that…
I Ran a Marathon!
…and I survived! I’m having lots of issues walking today, but it was definitely worth it. Now I shall walk you through my experience… We woke up at 4am Sunday morning and headed down to a hotel breakfast at 4:30am. Mine consisted of yogurt with cantaloupe, most of a blueberry bagel with peanut butter, half…
My Marathon Playlist
2 días mas until the Surf City Marathon!! Sheiza! (PS I’ve been saying sheiza for awhile and just decided to Google it to see if it was a real word. Apparently it’s a German swear word. Whoops….) So, to finish up my training, I ran 6 miles yesterday with a time of 56:31. Today, I…
My Favorite Things
With four days left before my marathon, I’m basically trying to forget it’s happening. I go on and off with being excited and then very anxious/nervous. Not quite sure how it’ll go. Then again, it’s only around 4 hours of my life (okay, more like 4 1/2 if not longer…), so it’ll be over before…
Weekend Shenanigans + Winners of the Vi Fuel Giveaway
The Weekend Friday: Watched Finding Nemo. It was quite enjoyable. Interesting (but not really) fact: I saw this movie 3 times in the theatre back in the day. I must like it or something. Saturday: Went to a local brewery and enjoyed a flight of beers and an appetizer thanks to a Living Social deal…
How I Make Myself Workout in the Morning
Although I absolutely love lazy, slow mornings, I’ve found that getting my workout done first thing is just how I need to live my life. It’s SO much easier for me to get motivated. Plus, I feel great the rest of the day and don’t have that burden of, “I should workout later,” running through…
My Favorite Things
Not even a month ago, I was running in 20-degree weather. Now I’m dealing with the 70’s. And you know what’s really weird? I think I prefer running when it’s 30 out, rather than 70 (20 is too cold). Maybe it’s because I’m never satisfied with whatever weather I’m experiencing at the time. Regardless of…
