Race Recap: United Healthcare Providence Half Marathon
In another last minute decision I thought I would head over to Providence and run not only my 3rd half marathon of 2012 but also my 3rd United Healthcare Providence half. My pre-race dinner consisted of a juicy hamburger with the best gluten free bun I’ve had the pleasure of eating. Over the last few months I’ve gone mostly to a gluten free diet. I do still on occasion opt for a non-gluten free choice, but … Read entire article »

H2O
H2O, aqua, bottled, filtered, spring, enhanced, smart, vitamin all synonymous with water these days. Yesterday on my 9 mile run I preformed a bit of an experiment just for giggles. It is hard to believe that I use to go on up to 10 milers without any liquids. What??? I just never really understood the importance of properly hydrating during a run and what a huge difference it had on performance. Now even on a 4 mile run I bring along my Nathan Sprint fuel bottle typically filled with Vega Sports Optimizer. On longer runs over 10 miles I bring a fuel belt with bottles of water to be used with Cliff Shots Bloks and others with Vega Sport. Saturday I decided to go out with just water. No Cliff Shot Bloks or Vega … Read entire article »

Running for Pancakes
Sundays are for family, church, relaxing and oh yeah, the long run. When I started training for my 4th marathon 2 weeks ago I decided this time around to keep the long run on Sunday. In the past I had always moved it to Saturday, but by leaving it on Sunday it gives me Saturday to prepare properly by eating and hydrating well. Today was another 9 miler but compared to last week I felt I had more miles left in me. (1:24:56 – 9:26 pace) This may have been because the humidity finally broke or maybe it could be my approach to hydration. If you are a regular reader you might be tired of hearing about hydration but if this is your first time, welcome. Hydration is one of those things that I struggle with and have been … Read entire article »

eating well is running well
When I started this blog my purpose was to learn as much as I could about the link of eating clean and its effect on my running and then share those results with all of you. Today was a perfect example of eating well is running well. But let me backtrack a bit to yesterday. I started feeling a headache coming on by early afternoon and by last night it was more intense. It was not as horrid as my last episode which was a blessing but still an annoyance. I believe it was more of deyhdration from never replenishing properly after yesterday’s run in the extreme humidity that we were experiencing. Any way, when I work up this morning the headache was still present so I decided that my scheduled 4 mile hill workout for day 2 of training was not prudent. My #1 … Read entire article »

Spring Cleaning
How was your Saturday? My day started with a practice from yogadownload. Today was Yoga for buns. Then I spent most of the day Spring cleaning. There is nothing better than a top to bottom clean house. It just gives me an oh so happy feeling. I know, strange, right? Funny, how we schedule time to clean our houses but what about taking inventory of our bodies to clean up our health and fitness needs too? I know I have some cobwebs and dust bunnies lurking around upsetting the balance of optimal health. When is the last time you did a little spring cleaning on your health? Noah and Schotzie wondering why there was so much fuss about a clean house. Oh, but they are not complaining or they would be in the, dare I say it, dog … Read entire article »
