“Divide the marathon into thirds. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart.” -Mike Fanelli, runner and coach
“We run to undo the damage we’ve done to body and spirit. We run to find some part of ourselves yet undiscovered.”- John “The Penguin” Bingham
I came across a really great article of 101 Running Tips.
I recommend you take the time to read through it because there are some awesome tips and great motivators.
Dirty Girl Mud Run
Raleigh, NC — 3/23/2012
IT WAS COLD. It was really cold this morning, but I still had a really great time. It didn’t feel like a 5k race to me. The obstacles were a lot of fun—some a little more frightening than others, but I successfully made it through all of them.
2 of the mud pits were frozen this morning… so they had to dry them up so we wouldn’t get hypothermia and DIE. Had it been warmer, it would have been far, far muddier.
Regardless of the not so great weather, I had a great time.
Can’t wait to do another mud run. When it’s not 40 degrees outside.
Yeah, so the blender shenanigans continue. What did I make today, you ask?
Homemade Frappuccino
I love coffee… like, I really love coffee. And not only is this treat homemade, but it’s low fat and absolutely delicious. Here’s how I made it:
In a blender:
- 1/2 cup of cold, brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup of fat free milk
- 2 tablespoons of sugar free, non-dairy french vanilla coffee creamer (you could easily substitute in vanilla protein powder if you wanted to)
- 3 packets of Splenda
- A handful of ice cubes
Blend it up until it’s smooth and voila.
Bottoms up.

I just registered, and I will be there, and I couldn’t be more excited if I tried.
I’m always looking for healthy and refreshing drinks for warmer months. Sometimes I just throw some things into a blender until it tastes good.
Here’s something I whipped up last week:
In a blender, put in about a cup of diet ginger ale, a handful of frozen strawberries, and a handful of ice.
Blend.
Pour.
Enjoy.
