Like Being in College, Except You Get Paid

Those Bloody Oranges

Hey There!  I am feeling sooo much better today! I was actually able to run my full workout this morning – woo hoo! I guess my body really needed the two-day rest. After the run I was craving fruit so I started digging around the fridge to see what I could find. Apparently, Scott went [...]

1,600 Calories in Two Days

The title of this post really says it all. In the last 24 hours, I have consumed about 1,600 calories, equaling about 800 calories per day. No, I’m not trying some crash diet.

Working and Working Out

Hey there! I don’t know about you but my Sunday just flew by – probably because I spent most of the day either working or working out. I started with a 45 minute interval workout on the treadmill (the rain kept me inside today – blah!). The run was followed by a 15-minute ab workout. [...]
