Running with 6th graders

This week I had the awesome opportunity to run Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning with a group of 18 6th graders during 1st hour! It was awesome!

Wednesday we ran outside after I met some of them for the first time. I was so giddy this morning!! We ran around out school block which is almost a mile around, then we ran the football field and headed inside for drinks.

Thursday it was rainy so we opted for the gym. We ran some Laps, did some speed drills and played a game of Sharks and Minnows, which is a tag-like game! It was so much fun hanging out with these kids who have a love and appreciation for running like I do!!

Friday was colder than the other days so hats and gloves were needed! We had a great run outside today! We ran the block, the school's mile course and around the football field again. We even played a short game of Sharks and Minnows again! This just gets me jazzed and pumped for the rest of the day! I love it!! I can't wait to do it again next week!!! One more week and then back to the regular school schedule. Running is my passion and I will never stop loving it and sharing it with others, especially kids!!

Be strong, you never know who you are inspiring!

Run on my friends!!

Inspired Endurance Giveaway

I HAVE SOMETHING SUPER AWESOME TO SHARE!! READ ON TO FIND OUT MORE!!! Several times during the past 3 weeks I have been wearing these 2 awesome bracelets from Inspired Endurance. It was brought to my attention about 4 weeks ago that they were looking for bloggers to wear their jewelry and write a review about them. I was honored to be able to do this. I asked for the 13.1 charm for myself and the run charm to give away. I have been wearing both to see what it would be like to wear multiple bracelets from them. I love them! I love them so much that I am actually going to purchase the 26.2 charm to wear with my 13.1 charm so that I can wear 2 of them all the time! They are so comfortable to wear that I hardly notice that I have them on! I am a teacher so I am running around all day working with kids, working the copy machine, and typing on the computer. Normally dangly bracelets will end up driving me crazy about halfway through the day. These ones have not bothe

MADISON MARATHON 26.2~I AM A MARATHONER!!!!

OMG!!!!! I DID IT!!! I RAN A MARATHON!!! I AM A MARATHONER!!!! I seriously cannot believe I did it! I am still in shock days later! I completed a marathon! I didn’t DNF! I wanted to several times towards the end, but thanks to some awesome new running friends, I made it through the entire 26.2 miles! I feel ridiculously sore, but I am the happiest and proudest I think I have ever been of myself! I DID IT!!!! I was so nervous waking up this morning! I didn’t fully know what to expect since it was my first full, but I have run so many other races that I just used my normal routine to get myself going. I ate breakfast and got myself dressed, then went on to waking up the rest of my crew. My awesome Mother-in-law spent the night since we had to be up and going so early. I wanted to leave the house by 5:45 but we never leave when I want to. Getting my crew up and going is quite a feat this early in the morning! We were out the door by 6 so I was happy about that. I just

I may have a Serious Addiction!!!!

In the past 3 weeks I have ran 41, 45, and 46 miles!! Those are some crazy totals considering I would have been lucky to have a total of 20 miles a week back in October/November of last year! I definitely have my mojo back!! I keep wanting to push myself more and more with my running! My legs are feeling strong and powerful and I love it!! I am super proud of how far I have come with my running. Back when I started running almost 3 years ago, I had a hard time running a full mile on the treadmill and it took me between 13-15 minutes to do it! I would get so down on myself, thinking that I would never be able to run a 10 minute mile! Now I can run that consistently for long distances, but I get down on myself when I can't maintain 9 minute miles for a 5K! I need to just be proud of myself for how far I have come with my running! I will get there! I'm just always in such a competiton with myself! I know I can I can do so much better with my nutrition so I am going to read this b
