Had a pretty awesome day in terms of energy level. Again I was reluctant to head out for my back to back to back workout with GU so I tried a little experiment and took along three bananas. I downed the first one right before swimming, the second one after my swim, and my third … Continue reading Paleo Day 10…Workout Fueling and Late Night Eats

Getting Back Into The Swim/Bike/Run Routine
So on a whim I decided to try a swim/bike/run routine this morning. At first I thought that I'd only for a nice long swim, but figured that now was a good of time as any to take an assessment of where I'm at, physically, for the triathlon in November. Let's just say I've got … Continue reading Getting Back Into The Swim/Bike/Run Routine
Paleo Day 9…Keep It Simple, Stupid
The day started off good enough with a great 3 mile run around the neighborhood. I came across a dilemma that I've been battling since going paleo...what am I going to do about my energy gels? I'm so used to using them during my training and races and, for the first time ever yesterday, I … Continue reading Paleo Day 9…Keep It Simple, Stupid
Paleo Day 8…Down 6 Pounds, Here Comes The Cravings, 100 Weeks Left
So after what turned out to be more of a cheat day than a cheat meal, I set about my Monday to go back to my usual staple of veggies and fish. Monday started harmlessly enough with leftover curries from the weekend. Most of the broth remained but the bulk of the veggies were gone, … Continue reading Paleo Day 8…Down 6 Pounds, Here Comes The Cravings, 100 Weeks Left
Paleo Day 6 and 7…Weekend Cheat Meal, Curries, Coconuts, and More

Paleo Day 4…A Few Minor Slipups
What a busy day Thursday was! Had my internship so I had to pack a whole day worth of food. Wolfed down most of it before realizing that I didn't snap any photos. For breakfast I had the egg white scramble with veggies. Packed some bananas, oranges, dates, cranberries, raisins, and almonds. Made orange marinated … Continue reading Paleo Day 4…A Few Minor Slipups
First Day of Paleo
My first day of paleo went pretty well! Drank a lot of water and ate to my heart's content. I only felt hungry when I was hungry, but because I've been foodblogging I've sure noticed how many times I get up to grab a snack. Breakfast - 6 egg white scramble Snacks throughout the day … Continue reading First Day of Paleo
Spring Cleaning: Paleo Diet and My Brand New Training Schedule
My last race left me a bit frustrated with how I've been trying to shove everything into my schedule...balancing school, freelancing, internship, and personal relationships left very little time for training the last few months, and I'm fed up! I've gained a bit of weight (SUPER SADFACE) and frankly, that's not okay. I'm feeling less … Continue reading Spring Cleaning: Paleo Diet and My Brand New Training Schedule
Q+A: Getting Started With Your Very First 5K
Someone I know is looking to get into her very first 5K. As a matter of fact, a number of people I know are looking to get into their very first 5K! (Something's in the air for sure...) So, in an effort to help get them across the finish line, I wanted to put together … Continue reading Q+A: Getting Started With Your Very First 5K
Motivation Monday: Getting Excited About What’s Next
Change is pretty hard to face. I spent the weekend pouring over my personal training books. A lot of it was technical and scientific, and the material is admittedly more difficult than I had anticipated. However, the single thing that kept me motivated was the light at the end of the tunnel. The prospect of … Continue reading Motivation Monday: Getting Excited About What’s Next
