Highlights of 2013

Highlights of 2013

The time between Christmas and New Years is recap and summary time. Just like last year, I am following Miss. Zippy’s lead in looking back at “How was your year of running?” Best Race Experience 2013 was super low key for me with no major races. And the 2 major races I did this year tie for best race experience. I went into the race burnt out, completely under trained and experiencing all sorts of weird niggles and pains, but Little…

12 Days of Christmas WOD

12 Days of Christmas WOD

Christmas Eve was my 4 year “runniversary”. What better way to celebrate than with a run with BRFs (and by having a giveaway. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway for some great prizes)! Although I would have liked 12  miles, I cut it short at 5 since I wanted to do crossfit as well! I started back at Crossfit after a 2-3 month hiatus (sickness, vacation and more sickness), just in time to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas. They…

4year Runniversary Giveway

4year Runniversary Giveway

On Christmas Ev, 4 years ago, I took my first running steps out of fear that I would not be able to complete my first race – a half marathon 12 weeks away. At the same time, I started this blog to document my thoughts. Never did I think that those first steps would stay with me and carry me to 4 years. Running and me have had our ups and downs, but after the first year, it has been…

Koss Fit Series Review

Koss Fit Series Review

This post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Koss. All opinions, as always, are my own. I was recently sent the Koss Fit Series headphones (the FitBuds and the FitClips) to review as part of a FitFluential campaign. If you aren’t familiar with the Fit Series, Koss’ designers teamed up with Gold Medalist Dara Torres to create the world’s first headphones designed specifically for women, by women. Given my history with active headphones, I was a bit skeptical. Both…

MIA Vacation

MIA Vacation

I’ve been MIA from my blog a bit !! First it was sickness and then it was sickness mixed with a long awaited trip! We had a magical week, with a bit of tantrums, meltdowns and remnant sickness thrown in. A few teaser pictures before I resume normal blogging posts!  

Motivation to Run through Winter and Holidays

Motivation to Run through Winter and Holidays

Finding motivation to run through winter and the holidays can often be hard. And just because the weather is cold, that is no excuse to not run (or atleast, that is what I tell myself!). But it is harder to leave the warmth of the bed in dark:00am for a run (or bike/swim/gym). I’m a relatively new runner with only 3 winters under my running shoes. And it hasn’t gotten any easier to keep myself motivated. But I’ve picked up…

Date Night with Andy Potts

Date Night with Andy Potts

When all3sports announced the weekend with Andy Potts, Professional Triathlete and multiple 70.3 & 140.6 winner;  my first thought went to the evening with Craig Alexander, again organized by all3sports. I was super excited about meeting Crowie and then life (and my minions) took over and I missed the event. So this time, I was determined to not let to let that happen and instead dragged my minions along (if you’d cannot beat them, join them!)! But other than the…
