If you're someone who uses Nuun, be sure to order some this weekend as everything on their site is 25%. I stocked up because at that price it's lower than in any store. Also, pro tip, create an account before you order. You earn points for purchasing and those points add up fast! I had a $20 credit from one order and a couple of actions (like creating an account in the first place).

Weekend Running! Holding myself accountable by posting....the plan is at least 5 miles both Sunday and Monday. After a long, cold Winter I'm finally back in the groove with 3 half marathons in 4 weeks. I want to honor my body and rest a bit this weekend...but not on my laurels. What are your plans? Let's gooooo!

Apologies for being MIA. I had my first international vacation and that included my first international race in Helsinki, Finland! This race was absolutely incredible! It was very well organized, had a beautiful ever-changing course, and the crowd support was something like I have never seen! There were a ton of spectators on every part of the 13.1-mile course AND an incredible amount of people packed into the stands to watch us finish in the Olympic Stadium. I am not someone who has a goal of completing the majors, so I've never put too much thought into international races but now suddenly...the possibilities are endless. Who has been out of the Country? Who has run an international race? Any goals to do so?

What's the plan? Mileage? Speed? Trails? Road? After two half marathon weekends, I'm taking tomorrow off. I plan to run a 10k Sunday. Hoping for great weather. It's May, after all! It's got to get nice sometime!

My winnings from the weekend consist of a PR for the start of the sunrise series and I am so elated for this. The schedule is hectic this week since it’s finals and graduation for my students but I did promise to take care of myself and to put my workouts and runnings as priority along with hydration.
