Run Thru Hell 5K Race Report

Happy Sunday friends! I rarely post on the weekends but I've got some free time in between laundry, grocery shopping (blech), and catching up on the DVR of today's tour.  I had a great holiday weekend that was rounded out today with a nice little 5K. I've run...

I love Le Tour

I love Le Tour

I'm not quite sure when I became infatuated with the Tour de France but lately I've realized it's sort of like my Super Bowl. I like football ok, I'll watch basketball, I could never see baseball again and be ok (sorry 'Merica!)  but I LOVE the tour. As someone...

Meghann, of the fabulous Meals and Miles, posted a contest yesterday about your worst running outfit. I immediately thought of this gem from MCM 2010. Yup. This was my throw down outfit. It was really cold and I wore it for quite a few miles before tossing it down....

My Bike Fitting

My Bike Fitting

My neck hurts. To sum up my weekend I didn't do a ton of cycling or running but rather a smidgen of both. I had big plans to run long on Saturday but I slept in and started my run at 7 AM. I had zero motivation and decided to cut it short at five miles. Sometimes,...

2023: A Look Back

It's almost the new year, and I keep hearing people say how the year flew by. Well friends, this year did not fly by for me. I think I would have preferred that. For me, it was a year of rebuilding my fitness. It was a year of new challenges and learning to work with...

The Return of the Blog

I realize the last time I wrote an update here was February 2020. Yikes. I was all guns blazing heading into my bikini competition prep. But, we all know what happened the very next month. The C word: Covid. I tried so hard to stick with the training. Truly. I worked...
