Skora Running Shoes

March 3, 2013

I am obsessed with my new Skora Running shoes. They are definitely a minimalist shoe (not much padding on the soles), but they are light and great for paying attention to my running form…and hopefully correcting my running form as well? A girl can dream. Also, I love how they don’t have any laces (velcro [...]

Updates Party People.

March 2, 2013

Hey Everyone! It’s been a while. Usually I don’t like to write excuses for why I haven’t been blogging, but I think these updates will help explain what has been going on in the last month-ish: 1. Social Media & My Job. I’ve been really freaked out about sharing things on the internet because my [...]

February 23, 2013

It has been a while since I blogged, so I thought I would drive right in with what I have been loving lately. I’m working on a blog post on my current “running” status (aka Eugene Marathon Training. Ekk), and hopefully that will go up on Monday! Things I Am Loving Right Now – 2.23.13 [...]

12 Week Marathon Training Plan

January 30, 2013

After two glorious trips (Cali & Miami) the past two weekends, I am slowly finding my way back to my real life schedule. And surprisingly (after glancing at my Countdown App) I realized I have only 12 weeks until the Eugene Marathon. YIKES. For past marathons, I have used 16 to 18 week training plans, [...]

Apps I Love Right Now

January 23, 2013

I will write some running stuff this week. But after my super short post about the Countdown+ App, I realized I have a bunch of other Apps to share. Although as someone who just joined Foursquare, I am definitely not an expert in the App department. Here is what I am using right now: 1. Flipboard: Your [...]

Training Yo.

January 16, 2013

Photo curtsey of Erica Sara Turns out, if you don’t do any track work outs or tempo runs for three months (besides one 5K), you won’t get any faster. In fact, you might actually get a little out of shape. After the NYCRuns 10 Mile Race on Sunday, I definitely learned that lesson. While not [...]

Believe I Am: Forget the Fear

January 11, 2013

First of all, in case you missed the Believe I Am “Google Hangout”, I highly recommend watching the video (if only to hear Ro‘s awesome accent or try to figure out what is on Lauren‘s shirt.).  Seriously though, there is some great advice from the Pros on that video. Go watch. My Final Believe I [...]

Things I Am Loving Right Now. 1/3/13

January 3, 2013

Things I Am Loving Right Now. 1/2/13 Edition. 1. I love reading News articles, but I hate searching through a newspaper (internet) for stories I’m interested in. Instead, I use the News360 App to filter out topics that I’m interested in.  Plus you can add alerts for certain words in articles (example: “Marathon” or “Running”). [...]

Bring on 2013….

December 31, 2012

After looking over my 2012 Goals Post from last year, I hit my head against the wall thinking, WHO WAS THAT GIRL? I wanted to “weight train at least 2 times a week”. GAH, I’m an embarrassment to myself. The goals were just sooo not me. Sometimes I wish blog posts disappeared after 7 days. [...]
