Holy Moly..It’s been WAY too long.
Ok guys…I cannot believe how busy I have been lately!! Since my last post, I’ve run ANOTHER half marathon, done some traveling, made it through Halloween AND Thanksgiving, and have lost 7 lbs! I had a come to Jesus meeting with myself. I looked back at where I was weight-wise 1 year ago…guess what…ABOUT THE ...
Just keep running…Just keep running.
The two weeks leading up to this race were not good for me. I managed to get a massive knot/pulled muscle in my shoulder and neck. To the point I ...
It’s Race Week People!
Image: From my first half marathon! Wow. I have been MIA in FromFattyTo world! Well at least on the blogging level…Still eating on plan and working out (Kind of!) I’ve been dealing with an injury that is kind of guided me off track and not allowed me to workout in about 10 days…But 13.1 is ...

5K races. Why I love them!
It seems like 5Ks are popping up all over the place! This makes me incredibly happy because I love 5Ks. They are long enough (3.1 miles) to feel like you got in a good run, but short enough you can really push your speed. They are also the perfect distance to set an obtainable goal ...

Race Week Eating…The Challenge before the Challenge!
This week I get to “fuel my body” for race day! It’s hard to know what to eat to help your body perform its best for something like this. I have consulted my running friends and have a pretty good idea for what I need to be doing. Here is my lunch from today. Egg ...
I’m ready.
I can’t believe race week is already here! The training is done. Taper, stretch, fuel, taper, stretch, fuel are the main tasks on my agenda this week. Today someone asked me if I’m scared…I hadn’t really thought about it (thanks for putting that thought in my mind!! No, jk.) Scared isn’t the right word…I’m excited, ...
