Arden Gardens – Love your Liver Cleanse

Back when I did my first cleanse, I remember looking for reviews online and not finding a whole lot of information on the “Love your Liver” cleanse by Arden Gardens. So I thought I would pay it forward for all of the people that did provide me the information I needed to get started 🙂 […]

We Survived – Part 2

There is honestly so much going on right now, I feel a little remiss just talking about the half marathon, but that’s all I can wrap my head around right now. We are still selling the condo on the 15th, we are moving to an apartment on Saturday, keeping tabs on the house being built, […]

Uncharted Territory

I have to warn you…. this is going to a pretty boring post 🙂 Yesterday Charles and I completed our first ever 7 mile run! We were pretty apprehensive about it, as this was the first time that half marathon training would push us to a distance we had not attempted before. However, we realize […]

What a week

Once again Jes and I have decided to push ourselves into new territory. I suppose it is a perfectly normal phenomenon to continue pushing yourself, but never in my life did I think we’d end up here. Here of course being that last weekend we officially decided to start training for a half marathon. The […]

10K Training Has Officially Begun!

We could not have been more blessed with beautiful weather to kick-off training for our first 10K. Typical 10K training routines are 12 week programs, but we have 18 weeks before our race this March. With the extra time, we have blended our perceived best parts of a few programs to create a custom0-super-training […]

Jes’ Boot Blog – The Conclusion

Well here we are, the morning after boot Camp graduation and I am awake at 5:40 AM. If nothing else, boot camp made me an early riser. However popping up at 5:45 is far from the only result. I have so many good things to say about it, I wouldn’t know where to begin. Creates […]

100 Years at Grant Field

First off let me say there WAS boot camp this week, and it was impossibly difficult while being ridiculously satisfying. However there was also work this week – and it was just impossibly difficult thus resulting in limited time for the boot blog. For those of you that are curious, I have included a few […]

Jes’ Boot Blog – Day 11

The day I feared the most came this morning… it was the day I did not want to get out of bed, I did not want to go to boot camp, I did not want to sweat, I did not want to work hard. I thought about it… but I never knew what I would […]

Jes’ Boot Blog – Day 10

…. yup I blacked out. But I busted out the effort on the run, and was able to keep that momentum up for about half of the work out. By the end I had NOTHING left in the tank – and that is the goal. I also experienced quite the work-out high afterward – WORTH […]

Jes’ Boot Blog – Day 9

Another great day at camp! We focused a great deal on our core today, an area I am happy to work on (and needs a bit of work). The weather this morning was PERFECT – I was chilly when we started, but as soon as the work out started, that cool air and nice breeze […]
