Best Running Decision – Joining Get Fit Atlanta when I signed up for Chicago Marathon. What could be more awesome than training with a group of people who run/coach because they love it! Biggest Achievement – Chicago Marathon My first Marathon. Never in my dreams did I think that *I* would be running a marathon. A “what”? A MARATHON! I may have only accomplished plan C, but I had the most fun ever! Best Race Performance – Publix Georgia Half…
A very interesting discussion that foam rolling and lactate threshold brought up. I’ve highlighted some of the conversation in bold. I love my Get Fit Atlanta group for the wealth of knowledge that they share.

Dec 24th, Christmas Eve is a day I don’t think I will ever forget. 2 years ago, as the first training day to the ING Georgia Half Marathon, I took my first running step. I whined more than I ran. And I started this blog to keep records and not go insane with all that running. What a madhouse 2 years its been. My first year – I completed the 13.1 miles (crying the last 3 miles in pain), I…
Santa came a little early with winter running gifts ! Saucony Vizipro full length tights for the Hubby. A second pair of Brooks Infinity Capris (Which unfortunately I’ve not worn since its gotten slightly more cold) Nike Skull Cap with Ponytail Slot Running Skirt in Preppy Pink (to wear over my capris/tights) And about 15 of these for my glacier hands!
After 3 bad long runs (Thanksgiving Half debacle, 12.5 miles on Columns Dr when my hamstrings and hipflexors protested, 12 miles at Buckhead when the hills beat me up mentally), I was long due for a good one. Granted today’s course wasn’t as hilly as last week and it was marvelous to finish up with almost 2 miles of downhill; the run was still wonderful. A run that assures me that I am not crazy to sign up for another marathon 🙂…
Ever since I became addicted discovered Pinterest, I’ve been pinning a.k.a bookmarking like crazy. I discovered this Whole Wheat Pasta with Chickpeas(!), Kale(…gulp…) and Crushed Red Peppers. I wasn’t sure if this combination of Italian Pasta with Mediterranean Chickpeas would work. You know what – just like the Romans and Mesopotamians had a good trade going on, this dish has something good going on! I didn’t read the recipe right and thought it said red peppers (when it actually said…
I took this picture after I was done with more than half the veggies. It was that good! *Confession here* – I’ve never made a stir fry before. My attempt once long ago was with no taste and no intention of repeating the experiment. But it is one easy way to get in a stock chunk of vegetables. So I turned to Becca a.k.a CrafySnatch (my sister in another life) for a stir fry recipe. Viola … a very quick…
