Will Run For Ice Cream

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. We all know that I have an unnatural desire fondness for sweets. So when I was given the opportunity to try Fiber One, I was genuinely curious since I've never tried their products. But I was also a little nervous. I am a self proclaimed snack snob - especially when it comes to lower calorie type treats. To me, most snacks of this nature have 'that taste'. You know the one I'm talking about. They just have a taste where it doesn't taste like others snacks do. I have always been very particular, and I usually wind up not enjoying them. So, I was curious to try Fiber One, but I wasn't every optimistic that I would really like them. I was given 3 boxes of Fiber One products to try. Cookies & Creme Protein bars, Crunchy Chocolate Chip, and Mint Fudge Brownie.  I skeptically tried

I wrote about screw shoes earlier in a #TuesdayTidbit , but today was the first time that I've ever had a pair. Basically I took an old pair of running shoes and my Hubby, Father-in-Law and Lil Man took care of putting the hex screws in the shoe. As the snow was falling last night, my very first thought was

There are actually many reasons why I run. And my reasons evolve. But there are some days that the stress consumes me - that it's so intense that it feels like it's crushing me. I'm not at liberty to tell you the exact reason - it isn't my story to tell. But when a loved one is hurting, you hurt also. And when you are logistically too far away to realistically help, it’s hard. Lil Man was asking me questions this weekend. And I was forced to say out loud the reality – the word that no one ever wants to utter.... To continue reading the rest of the article please click here . Share this on Facebook?

As you know, I've been working on strengthening my core since I'm finding that my weak core is what has contributed to this hamstring injury. So today's #TuesdayTidbit is about Pilates and Yoga. Part of my future workouts will include both Yoga and Pilates. And I thought that this

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. I have always wanted to try a yoga strap. And this one by Clever Yoga , looks like an excellent one to try.  As you know, I'm trying to incorporate yoga into my workout routine. However, Physical Therapy wouldn't allow anything but their PT exercises, so I haven't been able to do any yoga lately, and I have to say

If you know me, or have been following my blog for awhile, then you know that I am a firm believe in compression. Last year, I started having calf cramps, and my running buddies suggested calf sleeves. I listened and I am so very glad that I did! And honestly, I won't run without using compression. And once my run is over, I will usually 9 times out of 10 put on a pair of Pro Compression Marathon Socks for recovery. (FYI, I also love their low trainers to run in) Sshhh.. don't tell Hubby but I have an entire drawer full of Pro Compression socks. And well, I wear them everywhere - grocery shopping, preschool, you name it.

Ok, time to come clean here (no pun intended), I've never been one to be too concerned about my skin. My routine is usually running a cloth over my face, slapping on some drugstore moisturizer, and then I'd be on my way. Most of you that know me in *real life* know I seldom wear makeup, especially after having Lil Man. And I usually don't take a lot of time with my appearance (hangs head in shame). But as I've gotten older, gulp, now in the "Master's Category", I'm wishing I'd started at a younger age being a little more concerned about my skin. And I keep hearing about Rodan+Fields and how great their products are. And I'll honestly say that I was hesitant to try them. Like I said, I'm not one to really put a lot of 'time' into my routine. But then I decided that I need to get li...
