I found this lovely scene at the rest stop with the lighthouse yesterday. Beautiful glowing dandelions.

It stopped being fun
Back to being single!!
Hopefully this will allow for more running. And me being more appreciative of being single.
Post 13 mile training run ice bath. I should say 12 mile + 1 mile break down training run. Rough.
Have great races and runs today everyone! You’ve trained for this and you’re ready! Go out and kick some ass!
So I don’t really talk about weighing in so much anymore. But I still do it every Wednesday. Sometimes it’s good… Sometimes it’s not so good.
This morning was good as I found out from Lose it. I’ve officially lost 50 pounds since starting last January.
I’ve learned so much in the past year.
Learned to run. Learned to love to run. Learned to lift. Learned to lift heavy.
Learned to eat. Learned to eat good food. Learned to eat good food only when you’re hungry.
Learned that the number on the scale is just that, a number. Learned that how your clothes fit is a better indication. Learned that how YOU feel is the best indication.
Started the morning off right - 4 trail miles through Great Smoky Mountains National and 3 road miles through Gaitlinburg proper.
We ran by four wild turkeys and 150 year old chimneys whose homes were gone long ago and restaurants with names like “Mello Mushroom” & “Gaitlinburger Grill”.
Happy Saturday, everyone!

I was scared to weigh in this morning - but I did and I’m glad I did! Feels good to meet a goal again for once.

Was kind of in a funk all day (… not really kind of, definitely was). I don’t even get me started on what happened at lunchtime (it involved the Target Halloween Candy clearance aisle). So I was hoping that Zumba would bring me out of my funk, and it did - still not 100% but it definitely helped. :)
No excuses November: 2/15
I kinda just felt like knocking these two out tonight, so I hopped on the treadmill to test my hopeful race pace for Sunday (I’m aiming for a sub 30 minute 5K! My last 5K was 31:10 so I’m hoping that I can do it!)
So I warmed up for half a mile from 4 - 5 mph and then brought it up to 6.3 mph (around 9:30/mile) for a mile. And felt good! Felt a little tired, but I know that the race day adrenaline will help me out there (that… and I’ll be nice and rested from sleeping the night before, rather than running at the end of my work day).
Hope all of the Internets are having fun in Conway!
Whoa! Look at that sugar…
I’ll be sticking to Fage 0%, thank you very much!
