Well, I think I went off the deep end. After watching a documentary about marathon runners, I registered for the Philadelphia Marathon, which will be in late November! I am SO excited to do this. Russ and I will be running together, which will make this experience more enjoyable, more memorable, and we definitely run […]
Getting $$$ For Working Out
Getting paid to go to the gym? Sounds good, right?! More on that in a minute! Gym & Breakfast Like everyday, today started with a trip to the gym. My friend Hannah and I have been really good about going to the gym almost every morning. We met during cross country in high school and […]
National Running Day
Hi! I’m on a roll with the posting today! Two posts in one day- I don’t think that’s ever happened before! I was reading Julie’s blog at www.pbfingers.com and saw that she wrote about her running story and how she got into it. I figured there is no better day than today to do the […]
Broad Street Run!
Today is the day that I have been looking forward to for months! A few months back, I caught the running bug and decided that 5K runs were no longer going to cut it and that I wanted to try some longer distances, so Russ and I registered for the Broad Street Ten Mile Run, did […]

Fitness Friday; The Power of Endorphins
For once, the week just flew right on by! It was quite a busy week so I’ll take it! This weekend will be pretty low key, but it will be a good opportunity to catch up on those biochem lectures that I’ve been neglecting. I was hoping they would just disappear, but you know, that […]
Fitness Friday; The Best (and Worst) Fitness Classes
Holy Moly! What a week! I have been completely M.I.A this week and that’s for no other reason than I have been trying to keep my head above water with my classes. That’s neither here nor there because it’s FRIDAY and I can finally breath. Phew, I literally just let out a long breath of […]
