1 hour, 6.5 miles, and pouring rain.
When I started my 6 mile run today it was drizzling a little and I was having a pretty nice run. It wasn’t too cold out and I really didn’t mind the rain.
And then it started pouring. And I was 2 and a half miles away from home. I was on the prairie path so I felt like I was running in mud… not fun. By the time I got back I was drenched, but I ran 6.5 miles in 1 hour so I...

katiestackk asked: I as well think you are super inspiring! I'm making a workout schedule today, and I can't wait to become a runner. I really enjoyed your post about outdoor running, seeing as I would love to run outside. I also feel kind of creepy, because I live in Elk Grove and know most of the places where you post pictures of, haha. Maybe someday, when I get better at running, we'll cross...

Carb-Load Margarita Christmas
I love my friends! Tonight we had a Christmas celebration with what turned out to be ALL carbs. That’s ok though because carbs are my favorite food group… sorry Paleo.
I had to post this adorable pic of Stephanie, Primo, and Payton. It doesn’t get much cuter than this.
I know I already posted this pic when I reblogged it from Stephanie, but it’s so cute that...

W1D3- 3 Mile Run
It warmed up a ton from this morning, so it was 28 degrees outside! I wore my new neck warmer again today. I way actually way too hot on my run, because I thought it was gonna be colder outside! I definitely shouldn’t have worn the sweatshirt. Hence why I just posted the article about cold weather running. “You won’t need as much as you think you will.” So true.

4 Cold-Weather Running Tips for Beginners
It’s that time of year, everyone. The leaves are falling and the breeze is chilly. People are trading in their tank tops and shorts for blue jeans and long-sleeve tees. It’s a great time to be a runner, but it can be a frustrating time if you’ve just started running and have never had to brave the elements. The number one question heading into the chilly months is, “As a new...

Cardio Workout
In order to work off the massive amounts of chocolate I’ve been eating, I did an hour and a half of cardio at Lifetime today with Kelsey. I started off with W1D2 of marathon training: 3 miles! I walked .7 after running for my cool down.
After running I did 28 minutes on the Stairmachine and 22 minutes on the AMT.
Total Calories Burned: 850, which is probably not enough to cancel...

W1D1 of (Half?) Marathon Training!
So here’s the deal. I signed up for a half marathon that takes place on April 30th. I started Hal Higdon’s training program yesterday, but instead of starting with the half marathon training program, I’m starting his full marathon training program. Chances are that once I start school, etc, I won’t have time to continue the marathon program and I will switch to the half...

Paleo Lunch
For a snack and lunch I had an apple, tangerine, and Paleo chili. At first, I wasn’t thrilled about the chili… but after a few bites I got used to it and I actually really like it! Which is good since I’ll be eating it every day for the next week.

crossingtheasymptote asked: Hey! I was just wondering, in your one post about lifting weights, you had something on your wrist (kinda looked like a watch). Does it tell you how many calories you burned from lifting weights? If so, whats it called?
Thanks!

PT Workout with Kelsey
When Kelsey met me at Lifetime to lift she brought me birthday chocolate! She is both evil and awesome. I had some of it last night (it was delicious), but I won’t be having anymore until I’m done with the Paleo diet! Or until I’m majorly craving chocolate…
I had a dream the other night about lifting and getting really strong. It seems like every time I dream something,...

I had a dream last night...
that hyperbolicdiet, visualizemeskinny, and I went on a road trip to visit where they live, which happened to be an hour and a half away from me in Indiana! Then wbaw gave me some stuff from the Gap that I could give away on my blog (I’ve always wanted to do a giveaway). Slightly creepy, but I had to tell you guys anyways!
I hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!

SNOW!!!
This is what my car looked like when I went outside this morning. I’m so glad I was at Jon’s so he could help dig me out! Today’s a good day for it to be yucky out since I’m just being lazy inside watching the Bears game and going on Tumblr! (Jon would tell you that I’m not paying attention to the game at all though).
I helped Jon out by taking pictures of him...
