TEN STEPS TO A BAD 5K: Step 1: Eat really, really well for a week straight. Nothing processed enters your body. 36 hours before the race, accidentally consume massive quantities of wine. By accidentally I mean, "one glass won't hurt" turns to two, turns to three, and oh wait, that glass was really big so 3 probably equaled 4 or 5. See? Accident. Step 2: For the 24-12 hours pre race: Continue reading →

MADE
Confession #1: I watch MTV. Actually, I watch a lot of MTV. Your guess is as good as mine as to how many brain cells have withered away (or just plain jumped ship) during episodes of Jersey Shore over the years. But one show I have always loved is the documentary (if you can call it that) series called "MADE". For those of you who have moved on to adult programming, let me summarize it for Continue reading →
FitFluential + Run Faster Mommy = bad-a$$
The most rewarding experience that has come from writing this blog over the last two years has not been the support, the friendships, or the awesome opportunities I've been given. No, those things are all amazing in their own right, but the most rewarding part of sharing my stories with the world has been the emails and comments from people telling me that I inspired them. Whether it be to sign up Continue reading →
Mudda Truckas! 2011 Myrtle Beach Mud Run recap
Muddy Mamas! As I mentioned a few posts back, I had to bail on the REV3 Olympic tri in Knoxville with my Teammies from Trakkers. Some family situations as of late required that mama needed to stay in town. And I was mega bummed...not that my family needed me, but that I was to miss the first big Trakkers party of 2011. But in that same post I also mentioned that my awesome pal Hope came to the Continue reading →
Blog-GRRRR!
Well well well. The great Blogger outage of 2011 has finally come to an end, and I almost forgot what I had to say...other than "hey woman, you should really back this stuff up somewhere". I totally lost the Phineas and Ferb post. I bet Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz had something to do with it. I'm pretty sure I'd be devastated if I ever lost this blog. *note to self, find a computer savvy friend, Continue reading →
the Great Race for the Diploma
It made me laugh, really, at how much graduation reminded me of race day.You bust your butt training (studying) for months (years) all for this one event, this one single day, that lasts only a few hours.You lay your outfit out the night before. You rehearse the logistics for the next day with family and friends: where to park, where to meet afterwards, what they will be wearing so you can spot Continue reading →
Inspire Change
Monday night I was faced with a decision.Rich was coming home in a few hours, the kids were clean, fed, and content, and therefore I found myself with some pending guilt-free time to run. Run without time constraints, run without worry if my kids were OK, run without anyone waiting on me, just run for ME. To a running mom, guilt-free running sessions are priceless, and must not be wasted.And Continue reading →
