I bet if I increase my protein intake and have a little less chocolate, bread, and wine, I’ll reach some of my goals. But I like to live a happy life. So if it takes me a little longer to reach my goal, I’m okay with that. I’m enjoying life, and I can still stay within a healthy range. 🤪😁

It was a day… but I still got my 2 miles in. I always feel a little better after a short run, especially on the hard days.

This is the half marathon training plan I’ve been using since 2015, regardless of the level or pace I’m at. More than ever, I believe that less is more, and this is what’s working for me at this point in my life.

I still have to adjust the distances because I want to be ready for race day and be able to give it everything I have. So, for now, I’m sticking with shorter runs during the week and one long run a week since I’m training for a half marathon.

If you’re looking for something a little easier, and I don’t mean that training for a half marathon is easy because it’s not. There’s time you have to put in, nutrition, hydration, recovery, and so many things that can happen during training. Don’t forget that you also need a good pair of running shoes.

At the end of the day, you have to do what works best for you and your body. I’m just sharing what’s working for me at this moment.

Today I went to Costco, and they were sampling this nut medley. It’s delicious! I do not eat nearly as much chocolate as I used to, but every now and then I want something sweet, and this is perfect for those moments.
I also picked up one of my favorite chocolates from Trader Joe’s to keep on hand. Just a few pieces are enough to satisfy a craving while still being mindful of how much sugar I want to eat.

I grabbed a bottle of this brand of magnesium glycinate too. When I use this brand, I can really feel the difference in my body. Best of all, it was $4 off!

I dislike it when people ask why I’m so obsessed with running.
I always tell them I’m not obsessed with running. I’m dedicated to it.

Running is important to me because it is about so much more than what it does for my body. It supports my mental health, connects me with nature, and gives me space to clear my mind after a long day. It gives me time to breathe, think, and just be.

But I am absolutely obsessed with buying running shoes. So, I think it is important for people to understand the difference between the two. 🤪

I love kettlebell workouts! They’re such a great way to build strength while also getting your heart rate up. There are so many different exercises you can do. They definitely keep my workouts from getting boring!

It’s LEG DAY!

For me, leg day is probably the most important workout of the week. I’ve started running again a little bit, but I had to hit pause because of some other medical issues. Hopefully, those get resolved soon because I’m ready to get back at it!

Until then, I’m doing the work. Every squat, lunge, and rep is helping me strengthen the muscles I need for running and keeping my legs strong for when I can get back out there consistently.
