You inspire me to do more than I thought I could. You...

I have seen the phenomenon in action many times. I shall hereafter refer to it as Becca’s Law. (I don’t have to pay a royalty every time it happens, do I?)
Haha nah. For you, no royalties are required. ;)

“You almost never regret going for a run, but you ALWAYS regret not going for...”
– Unknown. We say “almost” because if you’re on the cusp of injury or sickness, you may actually regret going for a run.

THOR THURSDAY HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED
As http://dmfb.tumblr.com/ explained, today is the day of Thor, the God of Thunder. As such, I decided to run my farthest run since Janurary. I ran 10 miles today in 1 hour and 19 minutes. Not bad! I was actually having a hard time getting out the door this evening but I decided to just go and not worry about speed, just get some miles in. I grabbed my ipod and chose a really chill indie mix...

Why I Run
sprintingtostrong:
I don’t do it for the gap between my thighs.
I do it for the gap between me and the guy behind me on the racecourse.
I don’t do it for the hip bones.
I do it for healthy bones that will carry me through the rest of my life.
I don’t do it for the flat stomach.
I do it for the ripped one that’s packed with muscle.
I don’t run away from my fears and problems.
I run towards...

I am trying to overhaul my diet and my biggest problem at the moment is Lunch. I am not a vegetarian but I am trying to cut down on eating meat at Lunch because I can't afford it. I also have a really weird taste in food as I can't tolerate strong flavours. Do you have any good lunchtime...

1st Tri of the Season - Accomplished!
Well this morning I raced in the Coolbreeze Sprint Triathlon, however, it was so cold and wet and rainy that the race should be called Frozen Wet Whirlwind Triathlon. Seriously it was about 40 degrees F with rain coming down.
I felt bad for my awesome mom and sister though. They had to stand outside in that for an hour while I was racing. I was fine because I was moving and keeping warm that...
