    Back to School Challenge

    August 20, 2015 - By 

    I’m going to take a moment to be really honest with you all. I have been a huge slacker over the summer when it comes to my health and fitness. I’ve been working out on a regular basis, but I definitely haven’t been giving my all. And my nutrition has been horrible. I’ve been the queen of fast, easy meals that haven’t always been healthy. And my sweet tooth has been out of control. The good news is that I have plans to get myself back on track. But here is the deal. I need your help! As a health…

We had to straight weeks of snow and ice and below freezing temperatures. I can deal with running in cold temperatures and I can deal with running in the snow. But running on ice is NOT my idea of a good time. While it was icy out I took some time off from my running and focused on strength training inside.  I didn’t want to risk getting an injury by trying to run on ice. For my strength…

    Half Marathon Training Week 1

    January 16, 2015 - By 

    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…
