Running, Reading, Ghosts, and Tomatoes

January 18, 2015January 18, 2015 Laura Runs a Latte Running #writeandrun31, Food Log, reading, Running, weigh-in

I don't have much for today. It's been non-stop raining/sleeting all day so I stayed in bed until 3pm listening to and finishing that book I started last night - Pines by Blake Crouch. I liked the first half better than the 2nd half, but it was one of those books that I couldn't stop … Continue reading Running, Reading, Ghosts, and Tomatoes

Shoe Search Continues…

Let me get the whining right out of the way... The shoes are no good. Yes, they fit perfect and are very comfortable. Until I ran in them. Instead of trying to explain what it is about them, let me just say that I'm back to searching for an everyday, light-weight, minimal yet cushion-y running … Continue reading Shoe Search Continues…

They Fit!

January 16, 2015January 16, 2015 Laura Runs a Latte Running Brooks PureFlow 2, Food Log, Running, weigh-in

I couldn't wait to get home from work today and try on the new, new PF2s and THEY FIT! Yay! They feel perfect on my feet (just like the adult-sized PF2s), so I'm hoping they aren't any different (I couldn't tell with the other new pair since they're too big). I'll report back on that after … Continue reading They Fit!

Back in the Saddle

January 15, 2015January 15, 2015 Laura Runs a Latte Running Food Log, Running, weigh-in

So, I have good news and bad news. I'll start with the good. I was able to run today! I'm feeling almost normal again - just a tiny bit of lingering dizziness. I took it easy and did run/walk intervals of 6:1 after a quick warm-up. The bad news: See where I made the red … Continue reading Back in the Saddle

Run Streak Ruined, Concussion, and New Shoes

January 13, 2015January 13, 2015 Laura Runs a Latte Updates Brooks, concussion, Doctor Who, PureFlow 2

Yesterday morning when I took Lucy for her walk I slipped and fell on the ice, and in doing so I cracked my head against the curb. I didn't really think much about it at the time- I was more embarrassed about someone seeing me. I got right back up and continued on with my … Continue reading Run Streak Ruined, Concussion, and New Shoes

I hit a pretty awesome milestone today - 50 days of running in a row! And in these 50 days (started 11/23/14) I've ran 171 miles. That's 3.42 miles per day on average. I'm pretty sure there were only 1 or 2 days in which I only ran 1 mile (one of those being yesterday, … Continue reading 50-Day Run Streak #writeandrun31

Day 10 #writeandrun31

January 10, 2015January 10, 2015 Laura Runs a Latte Running #writeandrun31, Rest day

Today has been pretty much a rest day. I spent the entire morning in bed catching up on my DVR'd shows from the week (Forever, SVU, Biggest Loser, Revenge). I finally got up around noon and took Lucy for a walk. When we got back, I had some leftover Pueblo Pie and watched a couple … Continue reading Day 10 #writeandrun31

I mentioned yesterday that I'm on the hunt to find a new pair of PureFlow 2s and guess what?! Yep, I found some today! I don't know why I hadn't thought of checking the "Big Kids" sizes before now because not only was I able to get them in this awesome bright yellow color, but … Continue reading New Shoes! #writeandrun31 Day 9
