I went out for another 4 miles with A on Saturday, and we got E to come along as well! We decided we’re going to make this a regular thing, even after I move.  My splits were super sloppy thanks to skipping my Tuesday run.

Run & Brunch Sundays

The Run and Brunch group meets at 10am on Sundays. I found them on meetup last summer and so far everyone I’ve met is pretty nice. We all gather at a fountain across the street from Ellys and head out onto the trail for an hour, then sit down for a great brunch.  I half… Continue reading Run & Brunch Sundays

I’m also… Continue reading Weightlifting Wednesday

But my heart looks like it was pushing itself. Chatting and laughing while running will do… Continue reading Training Tuesday Recap

Junk Food without the Junk

February 7, 2017February 7, 2017 Not Awesome YetLeave a comment

Eat this, not that. Thats good, this is bad. Clean eating, no junk!  But what is ‘junk’ food?  Most people would point to a cookie or candy and say its junk. Some people even point to pasta and call it junk. In my IIFYM opinion, there is no such thing as good food or bad… Continue reading Junk Food without the Junk

Training Tuesday Recap

Last night I went out to the Halsted Lululemon for another Run Club. They weren’t the 606ers, but still some great people.  About five miles were covered in a little under an hour. Felt pretty good about my time for having only had one quick jaunt the week before and almost no winter cardio training.… Continue reading Training Tuesday Recap
