If you've been following my recaps, you know I've come a long way. Eventually, I added track workouts to my training and retaught my body how to run at my natural pace. I tested my speed at 5ks every weekend and saw concrete progress. But I still, after all these years of running, have unfinished business with 5ks. I still feel like my PR is not my potential, but then again, I've never really commit myself to reaching a certain time. So this … [Read more...]
Weekend Race Recap + Running for a Cause

So we found this really cute, small 5k on a canal. Besides the oppressive humidity, it … [Read more...]
Dark Chocolate Cherry Chia Protein Shake
Oh chocolate, you pair well with sooo many things. But today, it's cherries. In addition to all the deliciousness, cherries are also a fantastic source of antioxidants and anti inflammatory nutrients--perfect for a post workout recovery shake.

Am I … [Read more...]
