  • Piyo Core, MRTT Run, Downpour Run

    Sunday Piyo Monday was an early morning Piyo session first thing.  I knew it was going to warm up outside quickly.  While the boys worked on picking up their toy room, I got busy with Piyo Core.  I was also able to get in my arm weights before our morning adventure. Once my Piyo workout…

  • Banana Chews

    Banana Chews I had been wanting to try this Banana Chews recipe for awhile.  The recipe is from my favorite book, Run Fast. Eat Slow., by Shalane Flanagan & Elyse Kopecky.  I kept putting it off thinking I did not have the time to make this snack.  Two hours?  Who has two hours to be…

  • Run, Rest, Run

    Friday Run It was my third run day in a row.  That is a rare happening.  A couple reasons why I went out on day three were that the weather was still absolutely perfect (upper 50s, cool breeze) and I was at my parents for the final morning of our visit (free childcare). I had…

  • Peach Crisp

    Peach Crisp I have been using up a lot of my Georgia Peach Truck peaches in my breakfast overnight oats, on top of my salads, and freezing more for later.  I wanted to try a different recipe with these most delicious, juicy pieces of fruit.  In the fall, I tried an apple crisp recipe and…

    Piyo, Run, Run, Run Monday Monday morning I pushed play as soon as I woke up.  I knew I needed to get my workout done quick before my husband got home from his night shift and needed to sleep.  I chose the shortest Piyo workout on the DVD set, Piyo Strength Intervals.  Somehow, it is…

  • Run, Rest, Run

    Friday Friday had two options.  Either wake up super early a third day in a row to get my run in before my husband planned to run OR somehow make it work where we both could run at the same time.  I went with the second option.  Which meant that I had to push C…

  • Piyo, Run, Run, Spin

    Monday (Piyo) The boys stayed up at my parents again last night.  I very much enjoyed not waking up at 6am!  Habits form though and I was awake by 6:30.  It still was nice to not rush around and worry about getting breakfast on the table right away. I went ahead and had my Fiber…

  • Early Miles and Dehydrated

    Friday It was a rest day! I spent all morning and early afternoon walking around the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens with my two little monkeys.  We brought a picnic lunch to eat at the zoo by the train tracks.  I had my leftover Red Robin salad, an apple, and Propel water. When we returned…

    365 Days

    365 Days… When the pandemic hit, I found myself a bit out-of-control. Like many of you, routines were flipped upside down in an instant. Suddenly, I was a 24/7 parent, teacher, coach, and actual physical presence for two growing boys. The gym closed down; my job went with it. I am thankful that I did…

    Disney Dopey Challenge 2020

    Disney Dopey Challenge 2020 One year ago today, I completed my third marathon, which happened to also be my first Disney Dopey Challenge! (Little did I know that my 2020 racing days were numbered). I am very thankful to be able to say that I “raced” each of my distances last year. Those four distances…
