Limits only limit.... you

Today I got up early thinking it would give me some time to go on a little longer a run than 3 miles. Little did I know how great it really would be.

I started out, determined to finish a route that is a big challenge because of the hills, but especially one. I have gotten up the worst part before, just once, but never was able to continue without taking a short walk break. Well, until today. I was seriously so proud of myself for making it. Seems silly but, is a huge accomplishment.  I think anyone who has ever pushed themselves beyond what they thought was their limit, can understand.

I wish I could remember to take pictures on my runs- especially when I run by the river... like I did today. I was too focused and determined on making my goal that I was all business. This isn't to say I didn't enjoy myself 100% on this run, just didn't stop. Plain and simple.

Either way, as usual, here is a little summary of my day



I completed my planks (side and 2 armed) as well as my twists (hurts so good), a great yoga video


This felt so good after the tightness of the running and of the day. After that I enjoyed some home-made hummus that I whipped up when I got home. It was supposed to be with CUCUMBER, but apparently mine went bad. Good thing I didn't pay too much for the darned thing.

What about you, how was your Tuesday??

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
