Nice easy run tomorrow :)
Anonymous asked: Besides running on the treadmill, what's the best thing to do at the gym if I want to slim down (especially legs)?

Great meet today! We took first for both the guys’ and girls’ teams. So many people had good times today. Soo proud of my team! I wasn’t allowed to race and instead went on a six mile run in Toms River around the Bubble.

Cold, Wet, and Hungry
It rained today which meant we ran seven miles in the cold rain. Now I just want to curl up with a nice book in front of the fireplace….but wait. I have a term paper due Friday :|

Stacking Firewood
Such a great upper body workout. I moved firewood that was delivered today for about an hour (there was a lot of it) and my arms feel great. It was such a good way to make a chore into exercise.

Passion for running
I love running because it’s something that I enjoy doing. If I didn’t love it, then I wouldn’t do it. Sometimes I don’t understand why some people keep doing something that they don’t love. If you no longer love what you’re doing then don’t do it.
I get that sometimes the sport or activity “looks good” on whatever application they might be...

St. Joe's tournament
I missed our scrimmage for winter track today since my team had a tournament at St. Joe’s in Philly. We lost one, won one. It was sooo cold out. Toward the middle of the second half of our second game it began to snow a little. Nothing major just a light flurry. We were all freezing and the minute the game was over our coach was just like “We’re not going to talk. Go home and get...

12/16 run
Today we ran six miles and then did eight striders. Tomorrow is a scrimmage but I have a soccer tournament so I’ll most likely run Sunday instead.
Hope everyone has a healthy and happy weekend! :)

Embarrassing myself in front of total...
During our run today our coach ran with us. On our way toward town center we ran along a main road in the grass. Of course I was the one to not pay attention to what was in front of me and practically fell face first into the road….good.
Oh and I was also informed upon arriving home that I have a tournament this weekend. Can’t wait and tell my coach tomorrow. Wish me luck

12/12 Practice
Six mile run followed by 8 striders. We ran in the woods and then Jackie and I ran a loop that we’ve been running lately. It’s about a mile and a half so from the softball and baseball fields it means it’s around two and a half miles to the school. Perfect for when we don’t want to run in the woods for a half hour.
Off to finish my homework. I started reading the book...

My new shoes came in the mail yesterday. I was so excited. I had been in need of a new pair so I’d order them online last week. I’m one of those people who like one brand and one style. I don’t mess with what shoe I use if it works. Like the saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I’ve been using the Brooks Adrenaline GTS series since...

Rhythm Miles
Yesterday it was pouring by the time practice started. This meant that our coach wanted us to stay nearby which meant doing rhythm miles. Rhythm miles themselves aren’t terrible. It’s running the same path for six miles is what makes things boring. Four of us did six rhythm miles. We were the only ones to do the whole run that high mileage kids had to do…typical.
Running in the...

Distance Runners vs. Sprinters
Is it wrong for me to laugh when I see sprinters running outside in the cold rain doing a workout? I’m like “I run outside all day, everyday so suck it up.”

School, practice, homework, sleep. Repeat. Life is so predictable at times. Sometimes I feel like I’m just going through the motions.

Whole Foods :)
I went food shopping today with my mom. It’s my favorite part of the week because I love food haha. We went to Whole Foods. It is definitely my favorite place to go food shopping because they always carry fresh and organic foods. Got plenty of food for the week. I have to have a lot of stuff in the house since I’m constantly eating. Six small meals a day is the way to go.

Nike Running Haul
Yay for going shopping with my mommy today! She took my sister and her friends to the mall and when she got home we went to get clothes for me…and when I say clothes, I mean running gear. I got new running tights, gloves, jackets, and shorts. I’ll post a picture of everything later :)

Five mile run today. It was a nice pace and we were talking for most of it. My coach finally made up our mileage books so now I can track my mileage again like last year. Packed a great lunch today. I love pita, hummus, and carrots! Thank you Daddy for making up my lunch since I couldn’t do it myself this morning. Anyone know where I can get some good reusable compartment lunch boxes??
