Did you visit my blog over the weekend? Was it beyond screwed up? Probably. On Friday I decided to take the plunge and turn Gettin’ My Healthy On into a self-hosted site. So basically, my entire weekend was spent trying to make it look halfway decent. I’ve loved having a WordPress site, but I wanted…
Balancing a Running and Weight Lifting Schedule
I was planning to run 6 miles today but ended up only doing 4 (at an 8:30 pace…woo!) because it’s in the friggin 80s today. I was hot and cranky. Afterwards, I completed the following circuit 3 times through, focusing on working my arms and shoulders. Not going to lie – before I made this workout,…
My Favorite Things
San Diego is hot hot hot today. I just got back from a run, and OH BABY 70 degrees has never felt so hot. At the moment, I’m enjoying a Berry Spinach Smoothie, and it’s really hitting the spot. It may look brown there, but it’s actually a pretty purplish red color. You see, I have…
My Favorite Things
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…
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…
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…
Vi Fuel Review + Giveaway [Closed]
I feel so legit. I’ve been using energy gels lately in my long runs to help refuel my body. Why, you ask? Because the wonderful people at Vi Endurance sent me a generous sample of their chocolate, vanilla, and peach cobbler energy gels to try out and review. Before I get into the review, though, here’s…
Drinking Wine Through Red Vines (Weekend Recap)
Hello! I have lots of pictures for you today—none of which are of my beautiful face. I’m sorry / You’re welcome. Here’s what we did over the weekend… My father flew back to Chicago yesterday, so that was sad. It was fun having him around here to do some touristy San Diego things. What touristy…
Motivation to Get Out of the Running Comparison Trap
Before I get into today’s post, I just want to encourage to keep the families of those affected by the Connecticut elementary school shooting in your prayers. I’m deeply saddened by the tragedy that has taken the lives of so many innocent people/children. They’ll definitely remain in my thoughts and prayers for awhile. Moving onto…
BIC Bands Review
The Weekend Pretty boring. Watched a million and one episodes of Giuliana and Bill yesterday. Saw some cool people. Solidified plans for New Years Eve, and I’M SO PUMPED. Love parties with these peeps. And I started packing for the move to California in January. That stopped about 30 minutes later after realizing there’s no…
How to Break in New Running Shoes
Before I get into how to break in new shoes, here’s a quick recap of my latest workouts. Today, I ran 4 miles at 34:35:39 (pace of 8:38) with random speed work thrown in. Feels good to sprint sometimes! Yesterday, I did my Feel the Burn Ab Circuit and the following walking routine on the treadmill:…
My Fitness Christmas List
Workout Yesterday: Tried out a few yoga videos because my hips need the extra stretching love. I’ve never done yoga before, so I had no idea what I was doing. I just went on youtube and found 2 that looked legitimate: Yoga for Runners and Tara Stiles Yoga for Balance. Afterwards, I did my own little…
Weekend Recap + Exciting News!
Happy Monday morning! Now that the Thanksgiving festivities are over, I’m more than ready for Christmastime and putting up the decorations! The weather, on the other hand, not so much. Now, prepare for some randomness and lots of pictures… Thursday (I’m stretching the word “weekend” out a bit, I realize) While at my grandma’s house,…
The Weirdest Tan Line Ever
Happy Thanksgiving Week! Let the overeating…I mean…“responsible” eating begin! I’m pretty pumped to cook up some goodness later this week. I think I even prefer it to actually eating all the goodness. I’m sorry—I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Maybe I’ll change my mind when I see the beautiful pile of food on my…
