Not A Good Week Fitness Friday Linkup 6/7/2013

Not a good week here this week.. I got in one 3 mile run on Tuesday morning. I did wake up with a small case of vertigo Tuesday, but it passed. So I was able to get a 3 mile run in. I even went to the gym and did weights. But around 3pm on Tuesday, the vertigo came back with a vengeance. And it's still here :( 

I have a Half marathon a week from tomorrow. I'm really hoping this clears up soon!

  3. Oh no! Have you had vertigo before? My mother has meniere's disease and had lots of vertigo problems. She has it under control now, but has had to dramatically eliminate salt from her diet?

    1. Nope, not really. I had it once about 20 years ago after I was really sick and it was an inner ear thing. I'm feeling better. So I'm hoping that maybe I'm on the mend!

    1. :) Yeah, I keep reminding myself that technically I've only missed 2 runs (ha). Hopefully I'm going to get well soon so I can get a couple of runs in next week.

  6. Off weeks sucks, makes you really appreciate the times where you are feeling good.... even if you are tired.
    My kids were sharing caring again, and it looks like I have another cold. I have a 10mi |16km run coming up 15th June, so I would like to be better for that, cause it's an awesome club race.
    Hope you don't get any more vertigo. And good luck with your up coming race.

  7. First of all I L.O.V.E ice cream, I literally have a list of all the ice cream stands in my area that I will be visiting this summer.....but secondly, don't get down on yourself for a slow running week. Sometimes you just need those, then you'll have an even better one after that!

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Pinrose Petal Pack Review and Giveaway - 10 Winners!

Bear with me, I know this blog is mainly about fitness, nutrition, and occasionally about being a stay-at-home mom, but I got the chance to review what I think is a pretty cool product and I wanted to share it with you. I'm not one to usually wear perfume. I have allergies, and I'm super sensitive to smells. So usually I just bypass perfume. But when I heard about Pinrose , I was intrigued. Being someone who is constantly in motion, and I know that many of you are the same way, I found this product to be very useful.  I'm talking about Pinrose, and their fragrances are in petal packs. They are perfect on-the-go packs. And on their website they have a  synesthesia   test where you basically look at a series of images and they conclude from that test what they think would be your best fragrances. I found the test very interesting. However, you were supposed to go with your gut and not think too long. On one of the images I actually changed my mind and changed...

Marathon Training No One Said It Would Be Easy Or Even Always Fun

 No one said that it would be easy, or that it would always be enjoyable, and always fun. But when you've made a commitment - it's a commitment - and you see it through (and no I'm not talking about marriage, although I could easily make a correlation between the two ). I'm referring to my marathon training. See, last Sunday I had a 14 mile run on the schedule. Mentally I felt blah. Physically I felt 'ok' but not stellar. And when it came down to it, my mental blah won in the end and I bailed at 6 miles on my 14 mile run. If I thought I felt bad mentally before, I really felt bad mentally after bailing on the run. My trainer, being the trainer that she is, simply said, can you get in a 2 hour or so run on Monday? Gulp, I suppose so. And that's just what I did. It required me getting up before the sun woke up so that I could get in a 2 hour run before Hubby went to work. I am TERRIFIED of running solo in the dark. But I had bailed on my Long Run...
