16 Breweries in 15 days!

July 31, 2012

That sounds kind of excessive, huh?  Luckily, I’m a smart girl and I know how to do these things without hurting myself. In fact, I wrote a post over at Fitfluential about how to incorporate craft beer into a fit life.  Go. Read it.  Learn from it. Now I can tell you about our trip. [...]

State #20: Washington – Perfection

July 30, 2012

I’ve always loved the Pacific Northwest. Beer Geek is convinced I’d hate living there because of all the rain, but on both vacations we’ve done (one where it rained constantly, one where it did not), I’ve loved the area. My Washington race proved once again why I would like to move there – cool weather [...]

When your inner crazy becomes your outer crazy

July 29, 2012

Yesterday, Kim from Just Trying is for Little Girls shared this picture on Facebook… 5 (half) marathons. 5 days. 5 different states. And I need all 5 states.

Energized!

July 27, 2012

I have a lot to say about the two weeks we spent in Oregon and Washington.  We did a lot of really cool things and visited some awesome places.  I’ll get to that over the next week or so, but the most important thing this vacation did for me was to relight my inner fire. [...]

State 19: Oregon AKA the accidental trail race

July 24, 2012

Some day I’m going to choose a race that’s “flat and fast”. But, that would require actually reading the race course description before I sign up. I recently completed Oregon by running the Deschutes Dash 10k in Bend, OR.  I thought I was running a flat race on a paved path by a river.  I [...]

Who doesn’t love Disney?

July 21, 2012

I’m busy today getting ready to race with behind Kim, so I’m letting one of my Fitfluential friends take the wheel today.  Please welcome Erin from Girl Gone Veggie as she talks about one of her favorite vacations.  I’ll be back Monday after they kick me out of the post-race beer tent (or scrape me [...]

Simply Bar Review and Giveaway

July 18, 2012

Recently I was contacted with the opportunity to try out “The Simply Bar.”  I had heard about them on various blogs and I happened to be attempting to add extra protein to my diet plus eat more frequently.  While I was mostly focused on clean, whole foods, I’d had a few instances where I hit [...]
