Marine Corps Marathon: Training with Hansons

Marine Corps Marathon: Training with Hansons

Thank you to Bob's Red Mill and Fit Approach for sponsoring this post.  Here we go again: time to kick off training for the Marine Corps Marathon. And Virginia has been doing her best to remind me why I always say I'm done with fall marathons. I mean, who likes to run in 90% humidity? I looked like I'd gone for a swim! But, I ran 17.75 just to get into the Marine Corps Marathon, so you know I won't be dropping now. So, I've cracked open my trusty Hansons Marathon Method book and placed my runs on the calendar. For those who are curious, I've put both the Advanced and the Beginner versions on my calendar. I aspire to complete the Advanced, but I'm a realist and acknowledge the fact that sometimes I get lazy and other times life … [Read more...]

Shaking things up to get #SummerStrong

Bob's Red Mill and FitApproach sponsored this post. All opinions are my own. Y'all know I love to run. In fact, running is really the only fitness activity that I do because I love to do it. I occasionally do other things, but it's never because I'm excited to do them. I do them because I know I should or I get a chance to take a free class or someone guilts me into it. But that has to change. My core is weak, my upper body has zero definition, and my hips and legs have been sending up "pre-injury" signals for a while. I know that building some muscle will only make me a better runner, so that's my goal as I get ready to start marathon (and maybe ultra) training. So, how do I plan to get #summerstrong? Strength … [Read more...]

Designer Whey and Smari review

Designer Whey and Smari review

Remember how I was searching for a way to get more protein into Jones' life?  I bought a number of different protein powders for baking.  Guess what happened to them?  Trash.  I couldn't stand the taste.  But I kept seeing mention of whey proteins and decided that would be a great next one to try. Then I got lucky.  Designer Whey offered me the chance to try out a bunch of their products.  As an added bonus, they sent me some coupons to try Icelandic yogurt from their partner, Smari. Double win! When I got the delivery, I was surprised by all the different products they sent!  And more than a little nervous as I tend not to like most drinks.  I very seldom drink much besides water, coffee, and nuun (and beer, ahem.) Honestly, I … [Read more...]
