It’s time to run the ‘hood tomorrow, and who doesn’t need new tunes to pound that pavement faster? Whether you are running or walking, these songs are guaranteed to quicken your pace! Good Feeling – Flo Rida Stereo Hearts – Gym Class Heroes/Adam Levine I Like It Like That – Hot Chelle Rae Faster – [...]
I was bound and determined that I was going to run the entire Run the Hood 5k next weekend. It is something that I have never done before. I have walked more 5k’s than I can count. I have walk/ran some of those, but I have never ran an entire 5k. I figured I wasn’t [...]
Good morning, friends! How are you? I know at this point, many of us are at different stages of the couch-to-5K program and that’s okay! Some of us have repeated weeks, or started completely over. What matters is that we aren’t GIVING UP! I just finished Week 6 yesterday. As in a 25-minute jog. Holy [...]
Yes, I know we’re between challenges…but that doesn’t mean we can’t all check in with each other. Right? Right. Sooooo. How did this week go for you? I’ll tell you one thing…I am MORE than ready for our upcoming challenge. I need it. Badly. What is our next challenge, you might ask? Well, we’re bringing [...]
This week we have another great post from Tiffany Zook on Charity Racing – Finding Your Passion. If you didn’t see last week’s post, check it out here NOW! There is no doubt that one of the most daunting and scary propositions about charity racing is the fundraising. Especially if you have never participated in [...]
On our ‘out-to-eat’ nights, I give my kids the choice to pick we’re going, and 9 times out of 10 they choose SUBWAY! It makes me happy to know that my kids look at SUBWAY as a treat, as somewhere FUN to go out to dinner! What also makes me happy is SUBWAY is now [...]
Tiffany Zook will be doing a series of guest posts on racing for charity. She was a very important and passionate member of Team Shrinking Jeans when we raced with Team In Training and raised money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Tiffany was a rockstar fundraiser and motivational team member!! She is passionate [...]
Good morning, Couch-to-5K’ers! How’s it going? Did you survive Week 1? Or maybe you are just finding us and getting ready to lace up your shoes for the first time? Week 1 went excellent for me. I was surprised, really. Yesterday, I set out on my Week 2, Day 1 workout. The runs increase to [...]
Is it just me or is there an awful lot of whining going on over at Twitter? Day after day after day. It got so bad one day, I actually thought about deleting my Twitter account. Of course, I thought about the Tworkout and decided against that idea. I laid low for a couple of [...]
httpv://youtu.be/JKJo67TMmec This past Sunday, I completed my third half-marathon. I am not a runner, nor do I really care if I ever am. Some may say it’s their legs that get them through long races, I say it’s my heart. I didn’t quite train as much as I had intended, funny how life gets in [...]
Summer is upon us {finally} and you are probably looking to update your iPod with some fresh music. Many of us are knee-deep training for races, and others are just starting out. Whether you are taking your first shot at the Couch-to-5K program or a seasoned runner, these songs are sure to get your heart [...]
“National Running Day, held annually on the first Wednesday in June, is a day when runners everywhere declare their passion for running. Wherever we are and whomever we’re with, we run—fast or slow, alone or with others, all over town or just around the block. It is a coast-to-coast celebration of a sport and activity [...]
You may or may not know this about me: but I race wearing tutus. Not in triathlons because that would take too long in transition but in road races where there are no costume changes along the way. Yes I love tutus and knee highs and everything that will allow me to have a grand [...]
Today we’re bringing you a guest post from one of our favorite Sisters, Bari. If you haven’t had a chance to get to know her (which is highly unlikely if you’ve been around here for any length of time), please be sure to check out Bari’s blog – Live. Laugh. Run. Breathe. It’s taken me [...]
I haven’t participated in True Confessions in the past two months because the confessions are too many and I am embarrassed. I haven’t participated whole-heartedly in this challenge because my heart just hasn’t been *in it*. I haven’t watched what I ate I watched it while I ate it, lol. I am still training for [...]
