TTT

Wow has this week flown by!  I was at a conference about 2 hours from home for Monday and Tuesday and it has seriously made me fell like I am struggling to catch the week before it ends!  Right now the wind is HOWLING outside but at least there is no snow falling.  So....
hang on and enjoy this week's three randoms!

Paleo Progress....As I mentioned last week, I joined in on a Paleo 30 Day Challenge at work.  I really like the way that I feel eating this way.  I feel much lighter and the scale is showing it too...I lost 4lbs last week!  Other than that I really feel like this is a way of eating that I can continue even beyond the 30 days.  The only struggle I continue to have is what to eat before the long run.  This week I ate a banana and almond butter but about half way through the run I felt the gas gague hit empty...I'll try again this weekend!

Weather Woes...March is that funky month where Spring is knocking on the door but Winter is not ready to give up the fight.  I feel like the weather people keep swearing at me every time they say that 4-letter word....you know what it is...s-n-o-w.  I think I can speak for many New Englanders when I say...."I'm ready for Spring!"  While I'm thankful that this storm is bringing us buckets of rain and whipping winds, I'm all set with this weather!

Virtual Love...No I don't mean the Catfish kind, I mean the virtual race kind!  There are three races coming up that I wanted to give you a heads up on!  Ali Mc, Jill, and Jess are all hosting virtual races this month so click away and sign yourself up!  They all have awesome prizes and Ali Mc even has a super fun photo contest!!

  4. That 4 letter word needs to stay away! Super windy here and no snow so far. Fingers, toes and legs crossed it stays that way!

  5. Great job on the weight loss! I am going to have to check out one of these virtual races since I am doing 13 in 2013 and need a March race!

  6. That's wonderful that the Paleo challenge is going so well and you've dropped a few pounds with it. We had snow flurries here and snow over the weekend which I know is nothing compared to what you guys have had but it's still not fun.

  8. I'm right there with you on the weather - so over it already!

    Congrats on the Paleo Challenge. I've thought about trying it but the whole fueling a run has me a little nervous.

  9. Oh yes, thanks for the virtual run reminder! As for long runs and paleo, you should check out Paleo for Athletes. (Or email me and I'll send you mine to borrow if you want!) I'm not a paleo eater, but really enjoyed it... and long story short, it basically said endurance athletes do need some additional carbs before/after a long sustained workout, but then can get right back to Paleo.

  10. The pre-run fueling is definitely a struggle. Energy balls made with dates have been working well for me. Keep up the good work!
