A Pip & Myrrh Adventure: Rhode Island

A Pip & Myrrh Adventure: Rhode Island

It was time for another Pip and Myrrh (that’s me) adventure but this time we decided to pamper ourselves with lunch, shopping and massages.  What more could a girl want, right?  Although our last two adventures consisted of running, we thought a nice long walk in Providence would be the next best thing.  The heat and our lack of time had us changing our plans.  After lunch we ended up with only about an hour … Read entire article »

Last Minute Race (Half Marathon #12)

Last Minute Race (Half Marathon #12)

Friday night I decided that I was going to run the Eident Sports Half Marathon which was being held today.  I headed into Providence yesterday morning to sign up and pick up my bib.  Props to the Cox Providence Road Races for moving the expo over to the RI Convention Center.  It provided a nice pre race bathroom stop and hang out before the start out of the cool air.  Love the shirt logo this year! Despite … Read entire article »

Race Day: St. Pat’s 5K Recap

Race Day: St. Pat’s 5K Recap

This morning I ran another 5K.  After running last week’s Ras na hEireann, I realized that even though I love distance running, I also find myself enjoying pushing hard for shorter distances too.  It takes a different mental toughness as you switch from conserving energy in longer runs to using everything your body has to give knowing it only 3 miles. When I left home it was beautiful and warm, however as soon as I stepped … Read entire article »

Colliding Worlds

Is it just me or when you start reading another person’s blog you begin to think that you actually know them from the tiny pieces of life they’ve chosen to share through their stories, reviews and updates?  Then when they offer comments on your blog you also get a sense of this virtual friendship through their encouragement, advice and answers to questions.  All of this even though you have never meet them in the real world.  What a strange and wonderful thing our blog world can be!   Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet a four fabulous ladies.  Becky, Lauren, Melissa, Lindsay and I all met up for our Blogger Meet Up at Don Jose Tequilas in Providence’s Federal Hill.   Because it felt like we knew each other on some level it seemed odd shaking hands and making introductions when in my head we felt … Read entire article »

#3936

What a gorgeous Saturday!  Hope you are having a fantastic weekend.  I drove into Providence this morning to pick up my bib for tomorrow’s race and explore the expo.  I guess you could call it an expo.  It was honestly not impressive at all and the booths had nothing to do with fitness.  Any hoo I am all set for tomorrow if my body holds together.  I am still fighting a bit of a cold but am not any worse than yesterday.  Hopefully, I will be well enough to wear my new Fila outfit.  If all goes well, I wanted to make sure I ate well today to run well tomorrow.  Breakfast was an egg white and Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain muffin sandwich and a green monster smoothie. And a little Irish Luck never hurt anyone, right? I snacked on 2 … Read entire article »
