Well hello there! Yesterday was slated for 3 miles, but about an mile into my run, I started to feel pain in my feet and some itchiness in my legs. Fast forward about 10 minutes and I was having a full blown allergic reaction and had to quit the run. This is pre-run and pre-swollen … Continue reading Allergies and Forrest Gump

Hi there! I officially started half marathon training today and to say I am super pumped about it is an understatement. I am starting a little early and added an extra week to my training plan.

Happy Saturday!! How is your weekend going? Today started off with a 3 mile run on the treadmill.  This is what your face looks like when you start your run too late in the morning and it feels like 100 degrees when you're finished.  When you're shoes are orange and blue, it's perfectly acceptable to … Continue reading Foam rolling & a pasta salad recipe

How's your weekend going?! Ours is in full swing and we've been out and about loving the warmer weather. Unfortunately, I kind of twisted/pulled something in my right foot and am taking a few days off of running. It's crazy how one quick slip in some mud can affect you for so long.
