Inspiration Thursday

So my first half is just days away and I am trying to ignore the fact that my left shin is driving me bonkers. I am trying to tell myself it is going to be ok and I will be fine running this 13.1 its all mental right?!?!

It will be fine, I will fuel myself, crank up my tunes, and enjoy running next to a great running friend. I am resting, icing, soaking, yoga-ing, foam rolling and wearing shoes with great support and hoping for the best.

On that note, here is some inspiration for this week :)

I hope you are all wrapping up a great week.

I will hopefully get a chance to post some pre-race thoughts/reflections over the weekend, but hubby and I will be busy celebrating our 4th year of marriage :) Our anniversary is actually today but we don't get to celebrate until Friday and Saturday.

Happy Thursday!!

What do you tell yourself when you want to give up?

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas wi...

2017- a killer year for running

Image
Can you believe that we made it through 2017 and here we are at the start of a new year full of new goals and possibilities? 2017 was a mixed bag for me. Running-wise it was fantastic, but other things not so much at all. Looking back at all of the things I have accomplished and all of the miles I have tackled make me feel nothing short of amazing. Incredible. Strong. BADASS. I wanted to do a quick run down of all the races I did this year. I didn't blog on all of them but I thought it would be fun. I ended up doing 18- YES EIGHTEEN races this year ranging from 1 mile to 100k (62+ miles) with a total of 1540 miles which is my highest mileage yet. So here goes, you ready?? 1.  Squirelly Tail Twail Wun  - 2/26/17, time 2:26:34. This was a super sweet, muddy race. The temperature was cold but not frigid and I had a course PR. I had so much fun and it was a great first race of the year for me. I plan to back in 2018 for year 4. 2.  Chambersburg half - 3/11/17, tim...

About a month ago, I posted a review for the Manitoba Harvest Hemp PRO70 Protein powder.

The wonderful folks over at  Manitoba Harvest  agreed to allow me to host a giveaway, but I got the details a little to late to make it a part of my original post. So here I am with a fun Friday giveaway instead :) What can you get? a Rafflecopter giveaway
