#Noexcuses here!


Hey friends! If you follow me on instagram, you know that I have been following along with this awesome challenge. Each day there is a prompt of a quick workout to get you moving. I am not one to rely on challenges to keep going but they sure are fun to participate in!

So whats my point? Well this week, they asked us bloggers to write up why we live a #noexcuses life. So here it is.

I haven't always been into fitness or eating well and I can't even remember when it really all fell into place. I do know that back in college I definitely put on some weight and was not about to go buy new, larger sized, jeans. Instead, I hit the college gym and it felt great. I stopped eating some of the things that weren't so great and things went back to how they were supposed to be after a few weeks. 

After college, I kept wanting to try to learn to run but never succeeded but continued to do other workouts 3-5 times per week. Once smart phones came around, and the couch 25k app was available, I challenged myself to run and now, well my life revolves around it. 

I live the #NoExcuses life because I feel great when I workout. Whether stressed, sad, or happy, working out brings me back to baseline. I don't work out every single day, but I make it my goal to do so 4-5 days per week. I just feel better when I keep things moving. 

How do you live the #NoExcuses life?

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
