Inspiration Thursday

So my first half is just days away and I am trying to ignore the fact that my left shin is driving me bonkers. I am trying to tell myself it is going to be ok and I will be fine running this 13.1 its all mental right?!?!

It will be fine, I will fuel myself, crank up my tunes, and enjoy running next to a great running friend. I am resting, icing, soaking, yoga-ing, foam rolling and wearing shoes with great support and hoping for the best.

On that note, here is some inspiration for this week :)

I hope you are all wrapping up a great week.

I will hopefully get a chance to post some pre-race thoughts/reflections over the weekend, but hubby and I will be busy celebrating our 4th year of marriage :) Our anniversary is actually today but we don't get to celebrate until Friday and Saturday.

Happy Thursday!!

What do you tell yourself when you want to give up?

HempPro70 Giveaway!!

About a month ago, I posted a review for the Manitoba Harvest Hemp PRO70 Protein powder. I was given the opportunity thought my ambassadorship with the lovely ladies of SweatPink!!If you missed it, go  read  all about it. It is pretty good stuff, I have to say. The wonderful folks over at  Manitoba Harvest  agreed to allow me to host a giveaway, but I got the details a little to late to make it a part of my original post. So here I am with a fun Friday giveaway instead :) What can you get? a Rafflecopter giveaway

PRO Compression Giveaway!!!!

Image
A few weeks ago, I went out on a limb and contacted PRO Compression to see if they would send me a complimentary pair of socks could review and do a giveaway. I had never tried compression socks and was SUPER nervous about spending the money for them not knowing if I would even like them. I am here to tell you that they agreed, I ordered the socks and... . I LOVE THEM!!! As I told a coworker of mine, they are like a hug for your legs. This might sound ridiculous but I am so serious. I absolutely love these socks. I am not kidding. Not one single bit. I received them in the mail and I wanted to leave them on for the rest of my life. But I didn't. I did leave them on for the entire evening and actually fell asleep with them on. I also got the joy to wear them to recover from my very first half marathon as well and was so happy to have them. They really helped my recovery and just made my legs feel all strapped in and ready for action- well as ready as they can be after 13.1 mil

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas with cut-down tre
