friday five – favorite blogs

April 24, 2015      31 Comments

Since it’s Friday, we are linking up for the Friday Five, with three awesome DC area bloggers: Mary at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC.  Feel free to join the fun with your own Friday Five post and be sure to visit and comment on the other blogs on the linkup!

Today, we are talking about our Five Favorite Blogs.

This is a great way to share our favorites and discover new blogs in the process. I have too many to count, so let’s see if I can narrow it down.

1. A Mom On The Run

Kristin is a great friend of mine, but I love her blog. She shares a lot on running and family, and she’s always got some great recipes to share.

2. Amateur At Large

Stacie and I share a love of running, horses and pugs. She also has great fashion sense and I often joke that I neeeeeed her to come visit me and take me shopping. I am hopeful that we will get to see each other at a race one day. We did run last year’s Virtual Pug Run “together” last year, so I will have to see if we can do another virtual in 2015.

3. Candy Crazed Run

Anne is awesome! She used to live in my town, so we have some local knowledge in common. An amazing runner, I love reading her race reports and food posts. We got to meet up at the Gate River Run this year, but only for a few minutes, and I hope we run into each other again in the future.

4. Deb Runs

I have been reading Deb’s blog since I started writing about running. I love her weekly updates, her goals and her race reports. She’s a fun and informative read!

5. My ZOOMA Florida bloggers!

Ok, so maybe this is cheating a little, but these ladies are so inspiring and I really love keeping up with them.

Meghan on the Move – Meghan and I share a love of dogs and crafts and cupcakes. And running. I kind of wish she lived closer, but it just gives me an excuse to travel for more races.

Tutus and Tennies – MB has the most amazing smile and so much enthusiasm. I love following her progress and seeing all the fun races she runs.

The Food Bitch Blog – I can always relate to Devon’s somewhat irreverent sense of humor. She is an amazing cook, a very talented runner and always knows the best hot spots in town. We are trying to make an effort to hang out more.

Mommy Runs It – Sharon is a fellow Galloway interval runner. We are working on getting her out to more local races, and setting up some group runs.

Run Happy – Char provides great workouts and lots of awesome vegan recipes. Her family is adorable and I enjoy keeping up with all the fun things they do.

Crazy Running Legs – I love Michelle’s energy and perspective. She definitely keeps it real with fitting everything into her busy schedule and it’s great checking in with her to see where she’s at.

There are so many more awesome blogs out there – I read and engage with some truly wonderful writers, runners and parents on a regular basis. I also love getting to discover new blog through exercises like this, so I’m looking forward to finding some new greats to add to my reader!

What are your favorite blogs to follow? List some of them in the comments or write your own blog post on the subject and link back to the Friday Five!

    You’re so sweet <3 I laugh every time I think about you telling the Marine Corps half story and your "what is this fresh hell?!" reaction to me running up 🙂

    Also, I want in on the Galloway Group runs! I haven't completely given up running straight through, but I'm mostly doing Galloway these days… or I was before I got attacked by a sinus infection.

      LOL! That was one of the highlights of a really crappy race.

      It’s not an official group but I promise that once the next three weeks are over and done with, we will get a date for a run. It will be nice to do.

      Oh, I agree. Some nights, I actually sit down and reserve an hour, just so I can catch up on reading. There are so many great ones out there and it’s always tough to keep up. But, it all gets done eventually.

      I will be back in Orlando. There are some really fun races down there, and I intend to run so many of them!

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
