From a PR to a bad run.

September 29, 2014 likeafinevino9 Comments

On Saturday, I ran in a 5k race and ran my fastest 5k yet.  It was a great run!  Yesterday, I was supposed to run 12 miles.  It was a hot day yesterday, and I didn’t get out until after 10:00.  I could tell as soon as I got through the first couple of miles… Continue reading From a PR to a bad run.

New 5K PR!

September 28, 2014 likeafinevino4 Comments

Yesterday I ran in our local Run for the Schools 5K. It’s the first 5K race that I’ve done since last November.  Although I run 5K’s all of the time in my training programs, there’s something a bit different when you run in an actual race, isn’t there?  I wasn’t nervous at all.  Since the… Continue reading New 5K PR!

Keep it simple.

September 24, 2014 likeafinevino1 Comment

I don’t know about all of you, but I’ve always been the type of person to overthink and overanalyze things. When I first started eating a vegan diet, I drove myself crazy researching all of the combinations of food I would need to eat in order to get in all the vital nutrients and vitamins. … Continue reading Keep it simple.

The relaxing weekend continues…

September 21, 2014 likeafinevino2 Comments

I took Friday off for a mental health day and yesterday the relaxing mood continued.  Although I did have to run into town to do a bit of shopping and had to do a bit of laundry and housework, the rest of the afternoon was spent cooking, reading, and watching a movie with my daughter.… Continue reading The relaxing weekend continues…

Mental Health Day

September 20, 2014 likeafinevino2 Comments

Things have been a bit crazy lately, both at work and at home with training for upcoming races, so yesterday I decided to take a mental health day. To me, a mental health day is a day off from the daily grind.  It’s a day for relaxation and fun.  A day to unwind and reboot. … Continue reading Mental Health Day

I knew I was a runner when….

September 15, 2014 likeafinevino6 Comments

When did I know that I was a runner? Was it when I first decided to try to run instead of walk during one of my daily walking routines? Was it when I spent $100 on my first pair of running shoes? Was it when I was able to run my first mile without stopping?… Continue reading I knew I was a runner when….

The Reminder Run

September 12, 2014 likeafinevino3 Comments

Sometimes I wonder why I love running so much.  Yes, it’s helped me lose weight and get in shape.  There are other ways to stay in shape, though.  After a bad day, a run helps me relax and unwind.  But a glass of wine or bubble bath does the same thing.  I’ve set running goals… Continue reading The Reminder Run

Random thoughts.

September 11, 2014September 11, 2014 likeafinevino2 Comments

Today has just been one of those days at work.  I feel like a Zen hamster who is staring at all of of these other hamsters running franticly in their wheels.  I just want to tell them to stop and breathe, but they’re looking at me like, “Dude, what are you doing?  You need to… Continue reading Random thoughts.

My name is Tammy and I’m a runaholic.

September 3, 2014 likeafinevino4 Comments

I can’t seem to stop thinking about running.  In fact, I think I’m a bit obsessed at this point.  Is there a support group I can join?  Is this just a phase I’m going through? I’ll be honest with you:  a couple of weeks before running my first half-marathon, I was starting to fantasize about… Continue reading My name is Tammy and I’m a runaholic.

Half-marathon recap

September 1, 2014 likeafinevino8 Comments

Yesterday was the half-marathon!  After months of following a training program, the day had finally arrived! On Saturday, I picked up my race packet: And here was my pre-race meal for dinner the night before.  Spaghetti with eggplant “meatballs” (see recipe here).  The meatballs turned out to be pretty good.  I will definitely make them… Continue reading Half-marathon recap
