Finding Balance

Finding Balance

Lately, I have really been struggling with finding balance in life overall. The last few weeks, I have started to really feel overwhelmed and exhausted. I seem to always have something to do. I realized how exhausted I was, when I slept until 9am Sunday. I cannot tell you the last time I slept that(…)

Run Away with Cirque du Soleil 5k

Run Away with Cirque du Soleil 5k

I was pretty excited for this race, I had participated twice before, and remember this being a fun event, lots of performers from the Cirque events, just a good time. It was also my first race with my team, Ninja Endurance Racing. There were 11 of us there, and the support was amazing.  We walked(…)

Learning to Say No!!

Actually, this is a combination of things… I tend to always say yes to things, then find myself feeling overwhelmed.  Seriously… I work a 40 hour a week job, volunteer doing social media so don’t have to actually show up anywhere regularly, and run/workout.  Yet, I feel scattered and my schedule feels overwhelmed.  I cannot(…)

Six Tunnels to Hoover Dam Half Marathon

Six Tunnels to Hoover Dam Half Marathon

I had decided to do this one because it sounded like a good time, and I was promised a mug at the end (this turned into a water bottle, but, that is okay).  Overall, Spring had sprung all over Vegas, warm sunny weather… this would be perfect.  Then, as race day approached, the weather changed. (…)

Caffeine

I should give up caffeine, it actually hurt to type this one.  More coffee than caffeine, but, I think this needs to happen.  The problem here?  I think I love coffee almost as much as I do shoes.  That and I am 100% addicted.  I get headaches when I don’t have coffee, cannot focus, and(…)

Skipping Cross-Training and Weights:

      This doesn’t even need a long explanation.  It’s pretty self explanatory.  It’s a simple, well duh.  But, it is the one thing I have to really force myself to do.  Which is silly because as a runner, it will help me improve my times, endurance, etc. even if I only workout twice a week. (…)

THE TV: Mindless watching and Eating in Front of It

I am combining these two, because, they go well together, and involve the same “enemy”.  Let’s start with the mindless watching.  After work the other night, I grabbed the husband and furkids and headed to the vet.  They got their Bordatella squirt in the nose, weighed, checked out, Mia got a nail trim… then, I(…)

A Big Day!

A Big Day!

Yesterday I joined Charlene and her great sons as a volunteer at the Red Rock full and half marathon.  What a fabulous time it was!!  We had signs (thanks Charlene for making them), cow bells, party horns, music (for a little while), but most importantly water and HEED.  We were stationed 0.8 miles from the(…)
