Eating for a Half-Marathon

It’s officially April and I’m 4 weeks out from my second half marathon. I think I’m going to do another month of “no fun” just to make sure I’m fueling my body for those 13.1 miles and all the training leading up to it. This past weekend I ran a very slow 8 miles outside because it was beautiful out. I wish I had done a little better on speed, but my training isn’t perfect and I still have time to improve! Lately I’ve been focusing on making sure I am eating properly for training, because last year I definitely was not. I would literally eat like a salad 6 hours before a 10 mile run and then I would wonder “Why am I so tired?” or “Why couldn’t I run as far?” Ugh. I definitely learned my lesson. Diet is one of the most important aspects of training! My biggest thing: Carbs are your friends!

Shows I’m Currently Watching: Vo. 2

Welcome to Vo. 2 of “What I’m Currently Watching”. If you read the first post, you’ll know I am a super passive TV watcher and I never pay attention to whatever is on. As I write this now, I am occasionally glimpsing at “Finding Dory” on my TV. But lately I’ve found a bunch of shows that I LOVE! And trust me, if these shows have gotten my attention, they are worth you taking the time to watch them.

White Haute Dresses

GASP! White before Memorial Day? FORBIDDEN! Unless you’re graduating or are getting married or just don’t give a flying fa-doodle. Last year I posted this graduation dress guide to help myself and my friend’s find some white graduation dresses. Since then I’ve noticed that post getting a lot of hits on Pinterest, so I wanted to give a more current/accurate dress guide. And the fun part is that now I can’t even call this just a ‘graduation dress’ guide because I have friends who are getting married this year (!!!) and hey, they need white dresses too. (And I’m not talking the OG white dress, if you catch my drift). The dress I’m wearing above was my graduation dress from last year and I absolutely loved it. It’s no longer available at Nordstrom but I am selling this exact dress (ASTR the Label, Size L, originally $85) for a lot less than that, so if you’re reading this and you’re interested, HMU.

Going Out Outfit: Distressed Jeans

HEY NOW HEY NOW-OW. This is what jeansssss are made of- HEY HEY! I hope you like that bad joke/segway into introducing this outfit. Check out my first pair of distressed jeans. (Yeah, first pair…idk why). I’m absolutely obsessed with them (even if adults make the comment of “you got a rip in your jeans” joke). The fit is super comfortable and you already know I love anything high-waisted. I wore this outfit the other weekend to celebrate Allison’s 23rd birthday, so I wanted to share! Links are below.

Red Polka Dot Dress

Here are some things I absolutely love: I love the color red. I love Taylor Swift’s album RED. I love red lipstick. I love polka dots. I love that this dress was less than $20. I love gold hour. I love daylight savings. I love that I can wear this dress to work. I love that I can take blog photos after work. I love that I can bribe my best friend to take photos of me. I love that you (yes you, random viewer) are able to see so many little things I love all wrapped up in one blog post.

#WorkWearWednesday: Striped Blazer

I

I have to admit that it’s kind of daunting to me that I will be wearing business casual for the rest of my life. That may seem morbid, but it’s true! Odds are, whatever job I have at any point of my life, I’ll be required to wear some level of business casual/business professional. That being said, I have been trying really hard lately to have my personal style shine through in my professional workwear. I can be really lazy when it comes to getting dressed for work (I don’t even wear make-up to work anymore) but I have been getting a few requests for some easy (and cheap) business casual outfits. So here is one of my favorite go-to outfits!

St. Patrick’s Day Outfit Guide

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner! Personally, I’m spending the weekend at the annual Ocean City, MD St. Patrick’s Day bar crawl! I’ve gone the past two years and it’s always a blast! Every year I try to out-do my previous outfit, but that’s not always easy. So here is some St. Paddy’s Day outfit inspiration, no matter how you’re spending the holiday. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the post to see my outfits from the last few years and get some inspiration from my friend’s outfits too!

Money March

Now that No Fun February is over, I’m moving onto my next monthly theme: Money March. I’ve been joking that Money March is just the month where I spend all the money I saved during No Fun February, but that’s not the case! While I will be spending more money this month, I’ve also made a “to-do” list of sorts that I think will help me make a little more money this month, as well as a few tricks to saving money too. I know we’re already 1/3 of the way through March, but that doesn’t mean its too late to save money!

My 10 Week Half-Marathon Training Schedule

So I’m posting this a little late but I’ve been training for a half-marathon for the past few weeks. I started around the 10 week mark and have been trying to increase my distances a little every week, while also doing other work outs. I’m around 8 weeks out now and can run around 5 miles no problem, but I would like to get up to 10 miles before my race, which is on April 27th. I ran the same half-marathon last April and finished with a time of 2 hrs and 38 minutes. My goal this year is to get under 2 hrs and 30 minutes, so here is my current training schedule.

Blue Wrap Coat

I’m going to have to file this coat under “an article of clothing I bought because Taylor Swift wore it first”. I shamefully bought this beautiful coat during No Fun February, even though I swore I wasn’t going to online shop that month. But I can honestly say I had my eye on this coat for months! Since Christmas! And I had resisted up until the moment I saw Taylor Swift wear a very similar coat after the BAFTA awards a few weeks ago. So I checked on the price of the gorgeous coat I had been looking at during the holidays and of course it was half off and only had one size left-my size. The stars aligned and I truly believe it was meant to be. (At least thats what I tell myself.)
