Wellness is a journey
The Atlanta Jingle Bell Jog 5K came 10 days after the Turkey Trot 10K! I managed to PR even though my main focus was to have fun. Can you think of a more beautiful sight than 100s of Santa Clauses running the streets of Atlanta? Yes, you probably can but I bet it won’t make […] Read more…
Raise your hand if you thought stroller running would be a breeze! Oh, just me? Running with a stroller is tough but moms & dads will do what we need to do to get those miles in. I always give a smile & nod when I pass runners pushing a stroller because I know the […] Read more…
My first turkey trot provided a second opportunity to wear a running costume. Races in October, November, and December are for fun and dressing up so I took full advantage of that. I ran the Five Star NTP Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. They offered distances of 5K, 10K, 15K, and half marathon. I originally registered to […] Read more…
When I started my running journey this January 2017, I couldn’t even run a mile on the treadmill! This shocked me because I worked out. Still, it took me over 12 minutes to complete one mile. By May, I worked my way up to 3 miles and ran a 5K in 30 minutes. 3 months […] Read more…
I can’t believe we are in week 9 of the 16 week challenge. I started the challenge in September with goals of sticking to a run/lift routine that served me well in the summer. Alas, fatigue set in and I wasn’t keen on lifting 4 days a week and running 4 days a week. Add […] Read more…
I read a lot of health and fitness blogs and I continued to see the Sweat Pink Ambassador badges on my favorite blog sites. I checked out Fit Approach and loved their content and social media. I have been following them for awhile and love everything about their health and wellness platform. I’ve only been […] Read more…
Today is the NYC Marathon. You better believe I tried to enter that race via an online contest but alas, I’m at home in GA. When I entered the Team Ultra giveaway for a shot at a bib, it didn’t occur to me that I may not have enough of a base to try to […] Read more…
I started my racing season this year with two 5K’s in May and June. I ran both 5K’s over 30 minutes (see my races page for all race times). I wanted to challenge myself with a 5K since August but I’ve been busy every Saturday, so I was ecstatic when I finally found a 5K […] Read more…
We performed at the NFL game Falcons vs Dolphins! For the past month, I’ve been focused on the 2018 Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders Alumni performance (not to mention the upcoming DanceFX performance)! I can’t believe I haven’t participated in one until now, though an ex-teammate told me she thinks I performed in one in 2008 or […] Read more…
The Big Peach Sizzler 10K fell 16 days after the Area 13.1 Half Marathon. As a newbie, I’m not sure running a 10K so soon after a half marathon is the smartest move but I was ignorant to the fact that I needed a recovery period. When I signed up for both races months ago, […] Read more…
