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

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.

From the 305 (enormous) to the 210 (big), and now the 15 - finally they made one that fits my tiny wrist!

Happy Halloween!

Yesterday went rather well. I made much better choices food-wise, and the last of that Bailey's creamer is finally gone. I went grocery shopping shopping last night and scoured labels on the creamers to find one (that I like) that has no dairy. Seriously, this has been my one major obstacle to being vegan. I … Continue reading Happy Halloween!

Time to Get Back on Track

October 30, 2014October 30, 2014 Laura Runs a Latte Personal, Weight Loss/Maintenance accountability, C25k, Food Log, tracking, weight loss

Whenever my weight creeps up over 119 I start to freak out. That time has come and so I need to re-focus and start tracking again. Thanks to my friend Michele I decided to start mid-way through yesterday instead of waiting until this morning. As you can see by my food log from yesterday, it … Continue reading Time to Get Back on Track

Slight pause in training…

November 22, 2013 Laura Runs a Latte Marathon Training Food Log, Garmin Forerunner 210, GI issues

I'm taking a few days off from running until I can straighten out my GI issues. My stomach was so cramped up yesterday I didn't even go to work. I did go in today, but it wasn't much better.
