start strong, finish stronger. i'd say that was the perfect mantra for yesterday's track tuesday session. there is something about a track workout that gets me extremely nervous, but yet also extremely excited at the same time. i think like any run, you just never really know, leading into the workout, how you're body is …
it’s a celebration
holy smokes, i cannot believe that the first race of the track shack series is already complete. it seems like yesterday when i signed up to become a fanatic for the year, AGAIN! and let me tell you, it was the best decision to sign up for the entire series for a second year in …
around the track we go
ahhh, my first track workout is officially in the books. i was definitely a little nervous going into the workout - i think because it was just unfamiliar territory for me. but hey, we have to go out of our comfort zone sometimes right?! and what an incredible workout it was. i knew going into …
what’s a tempo run?
yep, i had that moment last night during my training program, five & dime, where i had no clue what my coach was talking about. thankfully, right after he said tempo run (probably because he saw some blank expressions, primarily from me), he explained what that actually meant. yes in my time running, i've never …
a little five and dime
you may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. in fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it. maya angelou welp, i signed up for my very first running training program?! i …

running through the trail
"don't follow the path, blaze the trail." happy sunday everyone! well, my training continues as the start of the track shack race series gets closer. it's seriously hard to believe that we are in the middle of july already...where does the time go? and for me, it's been a hot minute since i've ran a …
calling all fanatics…
calling all central florida runners...have you signed up to be a track shack fanatic? i'm not going to lie, i cannot believe the series starts in just about a month with the celebration of running 5k. BUT i am so excited for the series to start. so what does it mean to be a track …
run, darling. run
"running reminds you that even in your weakest moments, you are strong." this could not be more apparent than during today's run. this past friday, some co-workers and i decided to complete a kick butt crossfit workout. and while an awesome workout, i am definitely feeling the second day soreness. and naturally, i felt like …
