Running On The Wall Always Earned Never Given

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.

Where does the time go? Seriously, this holiday weekend just flew by - Lil Man and I enjoyed Hubby being home with us for an extended weekend.

I also enjoyed some much needed time on the trail before the PA opening day of deer season this week. I'll stay out off the trails this week for safety and in fairness for the hunters. I will miss it though.

But, last week I completed my Running On The Wall Always Earned Never Given virtual race.



I ran a trail run for my 'virtual' 5 mile race. It was awesome. I took several minutes off of my last 5 miles on this trail.

It was fun - challenging as always - and just what I needed.

Seriously, if you haven't signed up for a virtual race, I encourage you to do so. Check out this awesome race packet from Running On the Wall


I can't wait to run my next one! 

Have you ever run virtual races?

  3. I've done a few virtual races, but they aren't really my thing unless the money goes to a good charity!

  7. A few years ago I signed up for practically every virtual race I read about. It was so much fun and a great way to mix up training.

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...

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.

Jogging Strollers Freedom And Fresh Air

Full Disclosure: I have partnered with Thule to #giveaway a Thule jogging stroller, but I have not been compensated in any form.  I remember when Lil Man was a baby. My only time to get in a workout was before Hubby went to work. Which meant I had to run at 5am or 6am after being up most of the night with Lil Man. You guessed it, those early morning runs just didn't happen most days. I tried. I really did, but I was exhausted. Yes, I have a treadmill which helped. But it didn't give me the freedom ( or the fresh air ) that my jogging stroller did. Pushing the stroller was hard. It became a challenge that I looked forward to overcoming. And on those days that running just wasn't going to happen, walking could. So I did. I could take Lil Man out at any time and get some exercise and fresh air. Sometimes it was all we needed to change both of our moods.
