well, needless to say my 26 day challenge has slightly gone off track with hurricane irma coming towards florida. i've grown up in florida, and trust me this is even a storm that i am slightly nervous for - so with that, we've been prepping the past few days. but, thankfully today i was able …
it’s back to running
as some of you may have seen on my instagram feed and stories, i decided to take a little break from the "running" portion of my 26 day challenge. after day 6, my knee was pretty swollen and hurting more than normal - so i decided to not be stubborn and listen to what my …
just keep swimming
well, i have survived the first 5 days of my 26 day challenge. holy smokes, am i starting to get sore already. but, it has totally been worth it to start getting more consistent with my running. and while i'm not going out and running 5 miles everyday - i really think these quick runs …
26 day challenge
hey followers! so i was recently challenged by my former bama gymnastics coach to take part in a 26 day challenge. but what does that mean, you ask? well, it can really mean anything you want it to. for me, it's focused around "what inspires me to get out and moving!" and naturally (if you've …
mind over matter
my second five and dime workout of the week is complete! and it was exactly what i needed. i've come to find that running is my way to release stress and get out of my own thoughts. whether it's a stressful day at work, knowing you have a million things to do, or just the …

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 …
