A Weekend Full of Miles

With a beautiful Friday off from work, I decided to explore Easton's Rails to Trails. The trail has been open since 1998 but for some reason it never crossed my mine to incorporate it into my workout routine. I also discovered another trail which had different "exercise pit stops". It makes me so happy to see the town providing trails for our community. I just wish more people took advantage of them. I may have seen 7 people from start to finish.  Be sure to check back in the next couple weeks for a special workout!

2.54 Miles

On Saturday I thought my legs were going to fall off as I finished 4.22 miles! After chugging a glass of water and a good stretch I felt much better. I'm now at 21.26 miles with 78.74 to go! I'm so happy that every day more and more people join me on this journey.

My worst nightmare.

I don't know about you but every year I dread trying on my jeans. Each year I cringe at the thought of having to move my sundresses to the back of the closet and stuff my fit bottom into skinny jeans. It's always a challenge to find a pair that fit just right. My biggest issue is finding a pair that fits around the waist and booty. I usually have to settle for one and not the other. If I can get them up past the booty the waist is too big. UGH!

I use to say, "When I get a real job, I'll splurge on a nice pair of jeans". Well, I've had a "real job" for two years and had yet to keep my word. With the lower temperatures I'm reminded it's about time to get the jeans out. So I finally did it! And to my surprise the very first pair I tried on FIT LIKE A GLOVE.

If you're like me, shopping for jeans is your worst nightmare. Well it doesn't have to be!

Join the 100 by Halloween challenge and slip right into last years denim. You don't have to run. You can walk, swim, bike, step or dance your way to 100. Just make sure you keep track and be sure to send me a picture of your progress.

Check out the pictures from this week:

Cait missed her photo opp but is right on track with her Whole 30 Challenge and 10 lbs lighter!

Keep it up everyone! Be sure to take advantage of the beautiful fall weather we have.

Ravens Game

Thursday was the Ravens/Steelers game and for those of you who live under a rock, the Ravens won. My amazing boyfriend got tickets for us. Unfortunately, he is a Steelers fan. After work we headed up to Baltimore and checked into our hotel both in opposite gear. We decided to stop by a friends in Fed Hill before grabbing some drinks. Our plan was to walk a few blocks and grab a cab but ended up walking the entire way. After a few beers and several laughs, we walked to the stadium.

The rain held off and we had a wonderful time cheering our teams on. When the game ended we walked back to our hotel instead of sitting in traffic. We shall add 2.5 miles towards my 100 by Halloween challenge.

Check out the pictures from those joining me on the 100 by Halloween Challenge.

My friend Andi and her co-workers participated in Ragnar where they ran 100 miles as a relay!

12 down 88 to go!

Hey guys!

This is going to be short and sweet because I am exhausted and need to get a good nights sleep since I'm going to the Ravens game tomorrow :).

Today I got up early and headed into the gym. Of course I hit traffic (one of the set backs you can't control) which cut into some of my time. However, I managed almost 12 miles on the bike!

I've had a bunch of people express how excited they are that I'm blogging again and are joining me on my 100 miles by Halloween challenge. Remember you can do any form of cardio to count towards your miles.

Those of you who are joining me in this journey be sure to take a picture one day this week of your workout. Whether it's a screen shot of your time, the beautiful sunset you witnessed on your run or even a sweaty selfie, be sure to send it my way so we can inspire others to get fit this fall!

nighty night!

100 Miles

After six plus months, I’M BACK.


Where in the world have I been you ask? Well, I’ve been on an exercise hiatus therefore blogging hasn’t happened. I tweaked my knee pretty bad in March not once, but twice. Turned out I stretched the repair from my knee surgery and had a bad bone bruise. I’m no longer in constant pain but definitely feel much weaker.


Even the most dedicated exercisers suffer from setbacks from time to time. Whether it’s losing your workout mojo, scheduling or injury, we are all human. The most important thing is overcoming these setbacks. Here are some tips on how to overcome set backs:


Exercise first thing in the morning. If you aren’t an early morning riser make sure you schedule time in your schedule. Take 15 minutes of your lunch break and do some resistance band exercises!


Keep a back-up set of clothes in your car or at your office. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had clients forget their shoes, socks or workout clothes all together.


In order to keep your motivation high set goals and switch up your exercise sessions. This one thing keeps me going. I get bored very easy. It’s one of the reasons I can’t seem to stick with running. Each quarter, month or week set a new fitness goal.


My new goal: strengthen my knees and get 100 miles in by Halloween! My 100 miles will be done by walking, running and biking.


I will also be holding a Fall Boot Camp Series at Easton Fit4Life. The first Fit for Fall Boot Camp will be Saturday, September 27th at 11 AM and is only $10! Be sure to reserve your spot ASAP.
