Even when you’re already achieving results, a small myth or hear say conversation can throw you off. Thankfully, I’m about to inform you about fitness and nutrition misinformation.

If that’s the biggest mistake he ever makes in a marathon he’ll probably beat me to sub two.
Congratulations all the same on a first place finish.

MUNCHIE MONDAY!!
Today we have a guest chef who was previously spotlighted in my Mentor Monday post a few weeks ago.
She is Marie Lanza of Playboy Radio and this Cajun cutie recently shared her Fat Tuesday menu on her personal blog.
Normally for Munchie Monday I like to share a healthy, nutritious recipe of my own creation but it’s been a while since I’ve whipped anything up myself. Also, it...

For Fitness Friday I want to put the spotlight on someone you may already know.
This guy is my new idol! If he’s not yours then maybe you need to read more about him HERE or HERE or just go HERE and choose for yourself!
It seems like a fun challenge to try but it’s been done already. I think I’ll stick to trying to be the first person to run a sub two hour marathon.
As fun,...

Mentor Monday
I haven’t come up with any cool and healthy recipes in a while so instead of Munchy Monday I want to make this Mentor Monday.
I’ve had a lot of mentors in my life and I try to find a new one everyday. I have more than one mentor because my life isn’t singular. I’m one of the biggest plurals you’ll ever meet. I’d probably go batshit crazy if I only knew one...

One down, many to go
Three hours later and I’m still riding a major endorphin high! I don’t even know where to begin writing.
In case you haven’t figured it out I don’t want you to go too much farther without knowing that my first real race is in the bag!
*self high five*
So many different things to fill you in on. It was crazy and enjoyable and awesome and did I mention crazy?
Let me...

Crunch Time
Less than a week away from my first real 5k and I couldn’t be more doubtful. Been half-assing my last few training sessions. Shin splints coming from nowhere, hamstrings sore from Zumba class, and I’m still a bit chubby. :(
On the plus side in the past couple of weeks I think I’ve found my pace and fixed my form. Still, I’m not sure how the pack is going to pace...

All I can say is WOW!
And maybe HOLY SHIT!!!!
All you real runners probably already know about this guy but I’m just discovering him. I’m looking forward to possibly reading a book or two of his to hopefully pick up some tips.
This link is to a sort of journal entry during a three day(!) and 350 mile run. This man is a beast!
Here is an interesting article published about the...
