I’m in week 2 of 3 Week Yoga Retreat and I’m having mixed feelings about this program. I started this program when I did because I am at the tail end of my half marathon training and decided I needed a more low-key program to balance out my long runs. The problem is I don’t go for long runs everyday. The days when I don’t have that extra cardio I find myself feeling a little more tired. Now before I go and blame yoga for my lack of energy I need to take into account that my kids are on…
Ahhh!!! The half marathon is now less than a week away!! I can’t believe how fast this year is flying by. Holy crap! I have the half marathon this weekend and then I turn 35 next weekend! What a crazy time of year! So you may be wondering about the title I chose for this post. Yesterday after our morning workout my husband and I were talking about the upcoming half marathon. Just general chit chat talking about when he needed to be there with the kids to see me cross the finish line. Those sorts of things. This is…
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases As I am finishing out my 7th week of my half marathon training I’m reminded of just how tough these distance runs are.

It’s that time of year again! The time of year that I’m convinced I’ve lost my mind because I’ve decided to run in the Knoxville Half Marathon again. When I get into the weeks when I’m running 7 miles and more I’m convinced I’ve lost my mind. Today was my very first training day. The good news is that it was only a 3 mile run. The bad news is that it was 10 degrees when it was time for my run. Luckily just a few weeks ago my husband and I signed up for a gym membership. As…
The time has come for me to start my training for my very first half marathon. I will be running in the Covenant Health Knoxville Half Marathon March 29th. I’m terrified and pumped up all at the same time. I’ve never considered myself to be a runner. I don’t even really enjoy running if we are being honest about it. I started running 3 years ago because I was sick a feeling sluggish and tired all of the time. I wasn’t happy with my body and I wanted to do something about it. The first time I had run in…
