Or as I like to call it “The 5K of Selfies” because everyone was stopped everywhere before, during, and after to take selfies. This past Saturday night, a few friends and I ran the Electric Run – and by ran, I mean power walked because one of our teammates hadn’t completely recovered from a sprained…
How Long Does It Take to Get Out of Shape After Being Sick
Exactly a week ago I posted on ways to prevent and get rid of colds, and then this past Wednesday BOOM the flu hit me. Oy vey. This got me thinking. The last time I had the flu, I was training for my marathon. It was a month before the race, and I was completely…
My Favorite Things + Get Fired Up Treadmill Workout
So it occurred to me recently that with this upcoming move, I will no longer have access to a treadmill fo’ free. Although I actually hate the treadmill, I like to have the option to go on it, ya know?! Since my days with treadmills is coming to an end (at least for awhile because…
The Color Run Recap – Happiest 5K on the Planet
I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time! I ran a colorful run, more specifically, “The Happiest 5K on the Planet.” I, along with 3 of my coworkers and 2 other friends, ran The Color Run on Saturday morning, which was held at Qualcomm Stadium. Keep reading for my recap…
Breast Cancer Awareness with Skechers GOrun 3 Shoes
The following post is sponsored by Skechers. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, today’s post is dedicated to supporting the fight against the disease. If you weren’t already aware, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S. While the statistics can be scary, they can also be inspiring. As of…
Aloha Run 5K Recap
We spent our Sunday morning running the Aloha Run 5K, and it went by in a flash! That’s probably because we’re such fast runners though. (And by we, I mean Matt. He friggin won 3rd in his age group of 25-29. #rockstar) It was the 2nd annual Aloha Run, and it seemed very well put…
Well This Is Going to Be Embarrassing…
So Matt and I signed up for a 5k that’s in a few weeks… We even got some his and hers coconut bras and grass skirts for it… The Aloha Run is a 5k run/walk that comes here to San Diego and features Polynesian music, drummers, hula dancers, and some surf-themed bands. Matt knows some…
My Journey Switching from Running to Weight Lifting
My main fitness love for the past five or so years has been running. I cross train by doing circuit workouts about every other day, but my main focus has always been hitting the pavement — that is…until three months ago when I started P90X. I figured I would try something I have never done…
Wedding at a Vineyard & I Signed Up for a New Race!!
Matt and I had the honor of spending our Saturday evening at my coworker’s wedding. It was the second wedding I’ve been to here in San Diego, and I must say…it was just as amazing as the first, which was by the bay overlooking downtown. This one was overlooking a beautiful vineyard and mountains. So…
Firestorm 2014 + Mixing P90X and Running
I’ve developed an addiction to the news. If you weren’t aware, there have been up to nine fires at a time throughout San Diego burning over the past three or so days. Thank God, we’re about 30 minutes away from where all this is happening, but I know people who are right next to it…
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,…
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…
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…
