I am a mom who runs. I run errands. I run the vacuum cleaner. I run the dishwasher. I run kids places. I run the household.

I also run on roads, on trails and on beaches ~ my favorite!

Run alongside me as we inspire, encourage and motivate one another to run Farther, run Faster and run Fearless.

Sweatin' It Out for 30 Miles!

I did it! I accomplished my goal of running a 30 mile week.

Mon. - 5 miles
Tues. - 6 miles
Wed. - 5 miles
Thurs. - 3 miles
Fri. - 7 miles
Sat. - 4 miles

Our temperatures have been in the low 80's and I can feel the Florida humidity making a comeback!

I dug out the visors and the sunscreen, but I am searching for a visor or a headband that will keep the sweat from dripping into my eyes! 

 As a contact lens wearer, sweat in the eyes presents a problem and sunscreen mixed with sweat really stings!

I really do want to wear sunscreen on my face to protect it from harmful rays, wrinkles and crow's feet but I may have to keep my forehead covered by a visor or band and skip the sunscreen there.
I also wear these oversized sunglasses:



These are by Miu Miu and retail for over $100 but were free to me!


The wide side pieces allow for good "crow's feet coverage." 



 I recently met a blog/fb friend who was in my area for vacation. She let me know she would be here and we scheduled a run! How fun! She and her husband also attended our church with us while they were here.
When you go on vacay, do you fit a run in to your schedule?

So how is your spring running going? 

Any new running goals?


What are your must haves for warm weather running?

  1. Samantha and I are planning to do the couch to 5k together because you and I both know I need to run more than once a week. That's my goal for spring.

    And I think a bright green headband would look great with your new outfit. Haha!

  2. Great job! How are your knees holding up? It's still too cold to run consistently outside - can't wait for that, but I know it will be hot all too soon as well.

    On vacations running has to to happen in the morning, before things get going (same as at home;) I also enjoy after dinner walks on vacation in case running doesn't happen as much as I would like.
