But where did it come from, and why is it used so widely? A Brief History…

The Weekly Recap – August 11, 2024

Another week has gone by, and I was oh so happy to see that my coach called for a recovery week!! Though the miles ran were considerably less, the same cant’ be said about the weather. Both rain and humidity I think set some records! On a brighter note, according to Strava, I ran my 3rd…

Apparently joining a run club is all the rage these days and some people even think it’s replacing the dating apps. I’m not sure if that is true, especially as I’m not in “that scene” in any capacity!  That said, until about a year ago, I had never been a part of an “official” run…

Review: LMNT Watermelon Salt

As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m in the process of testing some new things. If you are anything like me, after 4-6+ hrs on my feet, I get tired of the same flavors, and having some options/variety is a good thing! As I still have a few samples from the LMNT package I was given it’s…

The Weekly Recap – July 14, 2024

Wrapping up another week of training runs, and while my mileage ticked up ever so slightly, I have to say, my hatred for humidity has reached new heights.
