Today was an 8 mile (long, slow) run to finish up week 4 of marathon training. I did 4:1 jog:run intervals while watching Pee Wee's Big Adventure, on Netflix. I have to admit that's one of my all-time favorite movies. Don't judge ;) Here's how the week went: Monday: Easy/Recovery Run Tuesday: Cross-training Easy Run … Continue reading Week 4 Marathon Training

Tuesday Tails

This never-ending winter is really starting to get to me. So much so that I don't want to do anything but eat and sleep. At this point I even dread taking Lucy for her walks because if I'm not slipping and falling on the ice on my own, she's so strong that any amount of … Continue reading Tuesday Tails

Wordless Wednesday

February 25, 2015February 25, 2015 Laura Runs a Latte Wordless Wednesday vegan, Wordless Wednesday

I actually do have a few words to say about this. I was hesitant to post this because while I do follow and promote a vegan diet (and lifestyle), a lot of the items on this list are not "healthy." I try to follow more of a whole foods, plant-based diet. The reason I decided … Continue reading Wordless Wednesday

I don't have my running journal in front of me to share the specific workouts, but I wanted to at least post the mileage summary (running only, doesn't include walking/cross-training): Yesterday I was home sick with a miserable head cold.

I know I'm late with this, and have also been M.I.A. lately. I'm sorry. My office has been without internet off and on for the past week or so, and it's been a total nightmare.
