Vega Sport Line Review & Giveaway

A few months ago, I started reading the Thrive cookbook by vegan Ironman Brandon Brazier.  It’s a really great cookbook with some delicious vegan recipes.  Coincidentally Vega Sport, which is Brazier’s line of products, contacted me around that time to review their Sports Performance System.*  I received a package from Vega filled with gels, bars [...]

The Big News

**Before continuing on to my post, please help Stephanie with her Christmas in the City fundraiser.

I can finally announce the big news.  Most of you already guessed it – Neil and I are moving to Denver in early January!

Capitol Hill Classic 10K + A Reverse Triathlon

I don’t have the Sunday night blues because I’m too exhausted to worry about the weekend ending.   This morning I was up at around 5:30 to head to the Capitol Hill Classic 10K.  I met up with Chase & Victoria beforehand and I was pleasantly surprised with a not-crowded start line. 

The course started [...]

Book Review & Giveaway: Running on Empty

Most of us have a motivational mantra to keep us pushing through a long, or especially tough, workout.  You all know that my favorite one is “One day you will not be able to do this, today is not that day.”  That really resonated with me after coming back from my stress fracture, or anytime [...]

An Appreciation Giveaway

Over at Runner’s World last week, Mark Remy posted a great article about getting support from his wife and declaring a National Married-to-a-Runner Appreciation day.  Even though I did the majority of training runs by myself, it took a lot of people to get me through marathon training.

In the days leading up to my [...]
