I always have a blast when I run the Hero Half Marathon and 10k race at the gorgeous Indiana Dunes in Chesterton, IN. I’ve done it a few years now (including last year where I hit my PR and was 1st overall female, whaaat?!). Needless to say, this fun, scenic race is definitely on my race calendar for 2016. And for those of you in the Chicagoland area, I’ve got a sweet treat for you: I’m giving away one entry for the half marathon and one entry for the 10k! Here’s the details: Hero Half Read More
Gurnee Days Trail Run 2016 #GoGurnee
Runs these days look a bit different, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I have a great running buddy! In an effort to stick to my fitness routine, I signed up for one race a month (July through October). July’s race was Antioch’s Run for Freedom over the 4th. It was Bryce’s first official race running with my in the stroller. Despite a crowded start, we finished in 26:18, 4th in my age group and first stroller finishers- woo woo! The race for August is one I’ve done for a few Read More
Links and Loves {March}
If you're happy and you know it, stick out your tongue... A few links and loves for this month that I wanted to share... I'm definitely watching this next season of Dancing with the Stars. Between Stephanie Tanner and a fellow VU alum, it will be epic. Totally in love with this artwork from Minted that I created using the obscene amount of Instagram photos I have of him. (And don't forget to check out my post to win a $150 credit!) In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, I'm grabbing Read More
2016 Health Pursuits: Fitness & Food
I know, I know. We are already three months into 2016. But I thought it'd be good to document my 2016 health pursuits when it comes to food and fitness. Here's where my head is at: Running: Hit several PRs last year and really enjoy getting some races on my calendar to look forward to. Since going back to work full-time, I doubt I'll be able to train for another half, but would love to get these races on the calendar: January: S-No-W Fun Run, Lake Geneva, WI (5 miles)- DONE! Time: Read More
Three Things Thursday
Three Things Thursday coming at ya (ok, maybe four...) Had some credit from Wantable so got another Fitness Edit. They totally nailed it! (I got the sports bra before, but wanted a smaller size...this was before I partnered with Lukka Lux.) The herringbone print jacket, racerback tank and strappy tank are adorbs. And those leggings. LOVE! Try out Wantable for yourself! Did my first race of the season: the S-No-W Fun Run in Lake Geneva. (It was cold, but doable and snowed most of Read More
Ways to Treat Yourself After a Half Marathon + Giveaway!
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #TryALittleGoodness #CollectiveBias I knew after having Bryce that I wanted to complete a half marathon within the year. He was born in April, and I knew I wouldn’t want to do a winter half marathon, so I found one in October and signed up. No time like the present, huh? It was my 3rd half marathon, so I knew what training would be like. I wanted to do it because running was my Read More
