If It Doesn't Challenge You Virtual 10K

Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

 If you haven't tried a virtual race, I really encourage you to check it out.  (You can read more about virtual racing here)

This is my 2nd Virtual race with Running On The Wall  and I did the If It Doesn't Challenge You, It Doesn't Change You 10K 

Once again, the race packet was awesome - and I mean awesome!!
Not only did I get a great tank, but I got an inspirational magnet that I see every day on my frig, and arm sleeves. This time of the year, arm sleeves are a great! And I love that it says Go the Extra Mile. (FYI, if arm sleeves aren't your thing, there was also an option for a running hat). I also received a bib and a finisher's medal.


I'm one of those that won't wear the shirt or hang up my medal until I have completed the race. And this past week, I completed my 2nd Virtual 10K. This one was faster than the first, but by no means a PR for me for a 10K. My legs were super tired, and I had to stop and stretch a few times. 


But, I keep reminding myself that running for me right now isn't about numbers. It's about running for the joy of running - and that's one reason I am really loving the virtual races. 

With a virtual race, I feel like I have the liberty to race on my own terms.

Are you ready to try a virtual race? If so, check out Running On The Wall 

Until next time....

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...

Running My Life

Wow, has it really been 2 years since my last post? I suppose that I allowed life to get in the way. For any faithful blog readers, I apologize. Although, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore. I think most people use other social media platforms.  (By the way, drop by and say hi on Insta. )  But for some reason, each year when I pay for my google domain, I can't seem to let it go. As silly as it sounds, this little space is mine. And lately I've been struggling with ownership and acceptance. And my domain renewal was a not so gentle reminder that I have a voice .  Seriously, you'd think by 48 that I'd have this figured out - nope - apparently not. However, I am wise enough to know that we have a choice to allow situations to harms us or make us stronger. I'm choosing to let this mid-life quandary make me stronger. And because of this, I'm setting goals, taking charge, and reexamining priorities.  Movin' on...
