Weekly Updates and Starting the Holidays

Another week of proving to myself that I can still stay active without running. It has been 3 weeks and I am finally starting to walk with no pain without the boot, although long days at work remain painful even with the boot!

Fitness Accomplishments
  • Morning workouts 6 days
  • P90X3 x 7 days, I finished Week 9!
  • Elliptical x 2 Bike x 3



Non Fitness Accomplishments
  • Stuck with meal plan this week and make good choices at restaurant except the pumpkin ice cream I splurged on
  • Submit IRB paperwork for thesis, done!
  • O and I had a blast at Barbie Dreamhouse complete with lunch and mommy sneakily buying her a Christmas present!


This week marks the start of the holiday season as we are heading to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Saturday and possibly putting up our tree. Time to figure out Thanksgiving meal plans.

Fitness Goals
  • Morning workouts daily
  • P90X3 x 7 days, I’m on Week 10!
  • Swim
  • XC Ski or Snowshoe (I need new warm boots first for snowshoeing, suggestions?)



Non Fitness Goals
  • Stick with meal plan this week and no weekday wine
  • Blog 4 days
  • Finish semester work and submit early
  • Organize office
  • Work on Thirty-One holiday sale, Message me if you are interested in hosting an online party or earning free gifts.


What’s your plan this week? How was the past week?

A few Races...

Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car.

GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

All runners know that post marathon week(s) are filled with the fight to keep eating healthy yet indulge a little. I try to carry healthy snacks wherever I go to avoid the munchies. Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved! Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free. Thrive is currently available to purchase online and will become available to Whole Foods this month!
