Soaring Wings Half-training week #4

Week 4 is in the books! Yayyy. Everyday I'm getting more and more excited for this race. It's been a long time coming and after these 18 weeks of training, I know I will be more prepared than I ever 🙂 So without further adieu, let's get to it! What was supposed to happen ~ What …

Recommitting

When I woke up this morning, I had every intention of doing a transformation Tuesday post. But as I was getting a photo comparison ready to post(on Instagram first), it just didn't feel right. I felt like a fraud. Why you might ask? While yes-I've lost 70ish pounds....I haven't lost anything THIS YEAR. After Christmas …

He who has my heart </3

 The Day of Darkness. The Great Sadness. June 18th has many names. June 18th is Jaxon's day. Jaxon was my son. He is my son. He was stillborn, but he was STILL born. From the moment I found out I was pregnant, I knew he was a boy. And he was loved more than anything. …

Soaring Wings Training begins in 3..2..1

Tomorrow is the day(this blog post shows a date of June 18th?? Posted on the 17th. training started the 18th!)! The long anticipated day 1 of my 18 week half marathon training! When I decided on this particular half, I wasn't sure how long I'd train for 12 weeks? 16? 18? I settled on an …

Weekend wrap-up

  Is it really Monday already?! Where did the glorious weekend go?? To start, we have to talk about Friday. I got up early enough and got 25 mins of walking in before work-that was workout 9/10 for last week's 2-a-days. All week I did great! Until Friday evening. I've been struggling A LOT recently …

Finally Friday!

Current situation: During my lunch break, I needed something sweet! So with 2 hours left of this sloooowwww Friday, I picked up some Halo Top ❤ This is my favorite flavor...i think. There are so many good ones! OK...on to my 2-a-days update! Thursday was a success! I got up early enough to fit in …

Tell me it’s over Thursday

I'm going to make this short(i think)...as this afternoon has thrown me for a loop. Long story short, I pulled up to Subway and got out of my car. A gentleman said to me, "I'm going to need to move my truck" I just looked at him confused and said... "ok...?" He stared at me …

2-a-days continue!

Happy Wednesday ya'll! If I had to choose just 1 meme to describe how I'm feeling it would be this one.... Tuesday's 2-a-days was a complete success! In the morning I woke up at 4:40am and was able to get a solid 45 minutes in. About 20 minutes on the treadmill, 15 mins on the …

Take me back Tuesday

Ohhhh Friday, I wish I could go back! I got off work around 11am and was on the way to Kansas City by 12:15. Beautiful views and weather the whole way there. Sweet Pea is such a good traveler, sleeping/relaxing without bothering me in the driver's seat. Don't mind the ugly sheet on my backseat. …

Amanda Friday 2.0

Happy happy Friday everyone! I'm going to tell you a little about this past week and then wrap it up about this weekend's plans! Monday was a gorgeous day here in Arkansas! I think the high was around 74 or so...so I was finally able to get outside for a run! Not my greatest run, …
