Inspiration Thursday

I made it back.. for my regular weekly motivation.

For some, food is an enemy. Make good choices, avoid the bad ones, and it can become a friend.


I really like this one. Others walk with you- encourage you- challenge you- help you grow. But in the ends its all you. YOU. You who did all the work and got yourself to where you are.

Awww, well thanks Ryan. You are amazing.

When put this way, can you find an excuse good enough to NOT work out? 

As I mentioned earlier, its been a little bit of a rough week running-wise for me. But getting my YOGA and ROLL on has been pretty nice. No pressure to run fast, long, or otherwise.I do miss running but I know that it is best to limit my running before my half next weekend (HOLY CRAP BATMAN!!). It is for the best and I know my body will be ready to go Saturday for 8 miles. 

Hope you are all having a good week and are gearing up for a great weekend!!

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
