PINspiration Wednesday: The Little Engine That Could

PINspiration Wednesday: The Little Engine That Could

Comments 1 comment

It is time for PINSPIRATION WEDNESDAY!  What is PINSPIRATION WEDNESDAY? In short, you write about a motivational quote or inspirational thing that you found on Pinterest (or anywhere else!).

And you, and everyone. And so, even though this is technically not from Pinterest (it will be after…

Motivation to Run through Winter and Holidays

Motivation to Run through Winter and Holidays

Comments 1 comment

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…
