Product Review – Zwift Run Foot Pod and App – Surviving the Treadmill

Good morning! For me, it's one of those Mondays that really just kind of connects to my last Friday. I feel like I never really had a weekend. It's weird and annoying when that happens, but we shall power through. As a BibRave Pro, I've tested ALL kinds of things! I've tested shoes, earphones, headwear, food, drinks and even pillows! Today's review involves a word that makes most runners cringe....the TREADMILL. The treadmill can be great for many things. I've said plenty about why I do like it once in a while (like this Tweet). That being said, it can get BORING. We're mostly looking for ways to kill time while we're on it. Zwift might just have one.

Product Review – NOW® Sports BCAA Big 6, My Intro to BCAAs for Endurance/Recovery

Happy Monday to you (or at least not super crappy)! I had one of those weekends where I blinked and was back at work this morning. That'll happen. On a good note, I RAN 13 PAIN-FREE MILES yesterday! They weren't REALLY pain free, but they were only the "regular" pains of a long run. There will be more to follow on that, but for now it's product review time! This time around I tried out a supplement called BCAA Big 6 (grape AND watermelon), made by a company called Now Foods. What are BCAAs, you ask? Good question. Before I was given the opportunity to try them, I had no idea.

Snap Back to Reality, Oh There Goes Gravity – My First Try at Racing Again

Good morning! I hope you all had an excellent 4th of July, whether you were celebrating Independence Day or not. Last week, I decided that I was ready to give racing a try and signed up for the local Percival's Island 5 miler. It's flat, fast and fun. If you're just now tuning in, I …

I Just Felt Like Running – Running with no Plan is Kind of Awesome

How YOU doin? Yeah, YOU. It's Friday, I DO have a job and I do have s--t to do. One of those things is to finish this post! I may have had a bit too much coffee, so forgive me for the use of expletives, exclamation points and CAPS. Getting back from travel is always …

Armed Forces Day 5k – Feels like the First Time

Hey hey hey! As many of you know if you've read my previous I don't even know how many posts, I'm just about done with the long and treacherous recovery from a torn Achiles. I ran my first race on Saturday morning since the injury. I had plenty of time to think about what I …

Post Achilles Surgery Week ? – I Don’t Care Anymore :)

Hello! Today should be my "Friday" Thursday but now it's just a regular Thursday since I'll be working tomorrow. That's ok. The office is quiet and I can get things done.

Post Achilles Surgery Week 21 – I’m Feeling like a Dog in Heat, Barred Indoors from the Summer Street.

Happy Friday! My post title comes from a song (of course) and if you can identify it, I'll be your best friend. For real. I'll make bracelets and everything. Maybe I'll get one of those two piece heart necklaces and send you the other half. The title is EXACTLY how I'm feeling these days. I …
