Team Nuun 2017!

Yesterday was apparently "Blue Monday", a day psychologists determined was the one day of the year where people feel most depressed. Whether it's because the holidays are over, summer seems to be a distant memory, or New Year's resolutions seem to peter out by now, the 3rd Monday in January just doesn't seem to be so friendly. While I'm not entirely sure I agree with this calculation, I can say that yesterday was definitely NOT a depressing day for me. 

It was a Blue Monday in another way though...*drum roll please* 

I was named a 2017 Team Nuun Ambassador! 
Haha, get it? Blue? Bad joke.

I am SO incredibly honored to represent a product I love and couldn't run without. Before I tried Nuun I struggled with more GI issues than I care to talk about and was absolutely miserable. On a tip from one of my running friends I tried Nuun Active (mixed berry I think...) on my next long run and it's like I saw the light. 

Not only did I kick ass during my run, but the "normal" cramping and GI issues were simply gone. And I never looked back. 

So thank you Nuun for making a product I believe in and believing in me to spread your message of clean sport and active living. I can't wait to see what the rest of 2017 has in store! #nuunlife 

-Have you ever tried Nuun?

-Happy Running!

Happy Runniversary!

Happy Runniversary to me!   I started running a year ago today. I can't believe it. It all started because I wanted to quit the gym and man, what a journey it's been!  In a year, I've gone from tolerating running for maybe 60 seconds at a time to finishing my first half marathon last month. I've had quite a few ups and downs, but I honestly wouldn't trade this past year for anything.  In honor of my runniversay, I want to give a shout out to everything that's kept me going this past year:  Altra and Hoka One One shoes: A good pair of shoes is a must. I wasn't too wise when I started running, but quickly found out the hard way. Though different in so many ways, I love my Altra and Hokas equally. They both kept me running strong this past year and I couldn't have done it without them.    Garmin watch: I love running, but I hated using my phone to track my runs. It killed my battery and it wasn't super accurate. Enter my su

One. More. Month.

The Willimantic Half Marathon medals were released today! I was casually hanging out on Twitter today and saw that BibRave tweeted out a picture of them. I think I squealed with excitement when I saw it. My very first medal! Naturally, I sent the picture to my sister RIGHT AWAY  and she kindly reminded me, we are exactly ONE MONTH  from race day!  One month...holy cow. I honestly cannot believe it. 12 weeks of training down. 2 more long runs to go.  I am still playing around with fueling before my runs. I thought I had it down, but I've started getting stomach aches again. So, I might go minimalist and see what happens. I think I've figured out raisins work well for me during runs.  The biggest thing I need to figure out is hydration. Not so much when or what, but how . I've been using a hydration belt I got at Marshall's last summer, which has served me well. But it's starting to fall apart. And it doesn't hold enough. So I'm on the sea

2017 Races

I set big goals for myself in 2017. There's no hiding the fact that I want to completely dominate my 2017 running schedule. I'm so excited to share it with you! 2017 Schedule:  May: I have not one, but TWO 1/2 marathons planned for May. I am training for my goal half over Memorial Day Weekend. I decided to slip in one at the beginning of the month as well which happens to fall on a 14 mile training day. So why not run a race?! More bling=happy Sara.  So, let's take a closer look, shall we?  May 7th:  Where:  Providence Half Marathon Touted as one of the top 5 small town marathon/half marathons in the country, I knew I had to sign up! I will be in the midst of my training schedule for my goal half marathon later in the month and the date just perfectly fell on a day when a 14 miler was scheduled.  According to the race website, " The course is a nice mix of historic urban and rural neighborhoods as the race starts in Downtown Providence and hea
