So I'm 3 weeks post half marathon, and 3 weeks out from the Broad Street Run. I've been running about 17-20 miles per week since my half, but without much of a plan - mostly just based on what I have time for that day, or what I feel like doing. I'm confident I could … Continue reading Broad Street Run – 3 Weeks Out…Time for a Training Plan!

Recap: Bakers Dozen 13.1 and Week of 3/20
Last week was RACE WEEK! I'll start with the good news: I crushed the race. I finished the Bakers Dozen Half Marathon in 1:59:21. I'm thrilled to be a sub-2 hour half marathoner. I went into my training not sure of what my pace or goal time was. But as my training progressed and … Continue reading Recap: Bakers Dozen 13.1 and Week of 3/20
Recap: Week of 3/13
Winter came to Philadelphia last week - and it was beautiful annoying. I hate to be such a grouch, but when the calendar flipped to March and we already had several 50+ degree days, I was DONE with winter. It had missed its chance in my opinion. But alas, Mother Nature is way more powerful … Continue reading Recap: Week of 3/13
Recipe: Whatever-You’ve-Got Sesame Noodles
I have to admit, I am a terrible budgeter. I've never been good at it. Especially when it comes to food. But recently, I've been trying - with my husband's FULL support - to be more conscious about what I'm buying/spending at the grocery store, using leftovers and pantry items for meals, and not giving in … Continue reading Recipe: Whatever-You’ve-Got Sesame Noodles
Shakshuka Spaghetti Squash
Today's lunch was Spaghetti Squash Shakshuka. It does take time in the oven, but with minimal hands on time it's a great option for me when I'm busy with the twins. I let it bake while I feed/change/play with them. Then devour when it's ready. I was starving after today's run, so I basically opened … Continue reading Shakshuka Spaghetti Squash
Recap: Week of 1/30
This was the week of sick and sloppy. The babies were sick - their colds from last week cleared up just in time for them to get a stomach bug, Roxy threw up on Monday, and then I started feeling sick on Saturday. I am in full countdown to springtime, when sickness isn't everywhere -- … Continue reading Recap: Week of 1/30
Twin FAQs…Multiple and Miles Edition
When I was pregnant, I felt like everyone wanted to talk to me. Ask me about my due date, if I was having a boy or girl, and then - when they'd learn I was having twins I'd watch their eyes bug out and then wait for another flood of questions. Never in my life … Continue reading Twin FAQs…Multiple and Miles Edition
A New Intention
I moved through my yoga class tonight with strength and intention. My balance wobbled a bit and my mind wandered from time to time but I used my breath to return my thoughts to my mat and steady my muscles. I felt content as the class wound down and when we all laid back for … Continue reading A New Intention
Recap: Week of 1/2
WHEW! What a week to kick off the new year. All in all, it wasn't so bad....it just had it's challenges. I started the week off with a rest day -- my first day with no running in 39 days. Because of the streak I was so used to running everyday, it was actually hard … Continue reading Recap: Week of 1/2
