A few weeks ago, I had grand ambitions to go to run and go to Pure Barre every day. As the weeks have gone on, I’ve been getting more hours at work (like 15 to 20 last week to 25 this week to 30 next week), so I have to adjust my plans. I like running outside, and I only run during the day for safety. The Pure Barre studio I go… View Post »
Two years old
My little baby blog is now a toddler! Hard to believe I’ve been blogging for two whole years. Why am I not famous and wealthy yet? This was supposed to be easy. My 2014 blogging goals: 1. Purchase my own domain. 2. Seriously consider self-hosting. I need to learn a bit more about the ins and outs of this before I commit the money. 3. Sponsor blogs. I just… View Post »

I go for comfort and color (either purple or maroon and orange). I haven’t put enough miles on these to judge how long they will last. All from www.amazon.com Nike Flex Experience???

High Five. It’s actually Friday!
After my slight confusion yesterday, it actually is Friday! 1. I bought a pair of Bean boots a few weeks ago as I was lacking winter boots. I guess the Burger likes the box. 2. I’m starting my full half-marathon training this weekend! I’ve been doing some shorter runs just to get back in the swing of things. 3. One of my 30 before 30 challenges was to read… View Post »
