London Marathon Training & Pedialyte Sport

Sponsored by Pedialyte  For those of you new here I’m currently training for London Marathon, Boston Marathon, and yikes, I signed up for Marine Corps Marathon too! I said I never wanted to run three marathons in a training cycle ever again, but here I am, doing it again. This will likely be the last time I run three in one training cycle and this time I mean it.  I’m approaching training this time in much the same way you would train for a relay race. I plan to give it my all at every race but I won’t be all-out racing at any one of them. Instead what I will be doing is giving my a ..read more

Staying Active On Vacation: South Walton, Florida

One of my favorite things to do while on vacation is to make time to be active. Something about getting to workout vs feeling like I have to or should makes a run, hike, gym session or really any fitness activity I’d typically do at home, extra pleasurable.  Before heading to South Walton I checked out the Watercolor Inn & Resort website, the place where I would be staying, to see if there was a gym or fitness center that I could use while there. Score – there was, so I packed gym clothing on top of what I was already bringing for running. Thankfully because I was traveling from a co ..read more

ASICS Shoe Finder: Finding the Right Running Shoe for Your Unique Body!

Happy 2021! I still am finding it hard to believe yet another year has gone by!  One of the main questions I continually get DM’s about on instagram is what the best running shoes are. My response is always the same – there is no ONE best running shoe! The best running shoe is the shoe that works best for your unique body. What works for me might not work for you and what works for you might not work for me.  On top of that – depending on the day or type of run you might want to wear different shoes. The shoes I like to run in for long runs aren’t always the same shoes that I want t ..read more

@mileposts Favorite Black Shorts

Feels strange calling myself @mileposts but after having that handle for 11 years online it’s what people google vs my name. I frequently get asked what my favorites are, so in an effort to cut down on the mess that is my instagram DM’s I’m going to put my favorites in to a series of blog posts so I can send them over to you whenever you ask! First up are my favorite black shorts. I’ve been running races for the past 20 years and blogging for 11 so you could argue that I’ve tried a pair of shorts or two! I HATE wasting money on gear (…I actually just hate wasting money in general) so these are ..read more

Are you OK?

I’m ok but not okay, if you know what I mean. I haven’t used the “d” word because I just don’t like it. I don’t want to be someone who is getting divorced. No one walks down the aisle (I didn’t walk down an aisle which in hindsight makes me laugh a little) thinking that their marriage is going to end. If you thought it was going to end, why would you even let it begin. Yeah, yeah the better to have loved and lost thing, and yeah I get that but I’m also a bit bitter and jaded and all that jazz, so maybe better to have not loved and not lost is sort of how I feel right now. So yes, I’m getting d ..read more

Saucony Ride 13 From Zappos Review

Sponsored by Zappos If you have followed me for any period of time you know I’m always talking about the benefits of rotating running shoes. Either rotating between different shoes from the same brand or what I prefer, rotating running shoes between different brands. There are a multitude of benefits in my opinion to doing this, one of which is injury prevention. Today however I’m going to talk about having a go-to brand in your running shoe rotation. I like to think of your go-to running shoe brand as an old friend. “Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver the other is gold“ Yes, I ..read more

The Sweetest Escape

I’ve been running mostly alone for the past 18+ years (not including my stroller running years). There have been periods of time where I had running friends that were close but for the most part even when I had friends that were close the times that I had to run weren’t exactly conducive to meeting up with friends. And if I am honest, I like running alone. I may complain about it from time to time and feel sorry for myself on really long runs when I’m tired and know that the run would feel easier if I had someone by my side, but even then, it’s not all that awful. Running alone means I have a ..read more

Make Plans, God Laughs

I’ve started a handful of posts that are sitting in drafts and two of them both start with the quote about making plans and God laughing…. The elite edition of the London Marathon 2020 is this Sunday, October 4th. London was going to be my last major marathon finish I needed in order to earn the Abbott World Marathon Majors 6 Star Medal. When London was postponed this spring I was initially disappointed. I trained hard all winter for what was hopefully going to be one of my faster for me marathons and while I was able to swerve when Tokyo was canceled and run something else, I had hoped to be ..read more

InsideTracker InnerAge 2.0

Yesterday InsideTracker launched their InnerAge 2.0 test, something I’ve been really excited about! I was part of their beta tester group and couldn’t wait till it launched so I could talk about it. Why do secrets feel the worst – lol!?! The InnerAge 2.0 test tests 14 biomarkers that determine your biological age as compared to your chronological age. I’m not sure what age I was expecting it to come back at but I’m highly competitive with myself so when it came back with 35 I felt let down – I REALLY wanted it to be lower. After consulting with InsideTracker, it turns out that anything under y ..read more

Brooks Glycerin 18 Review

Sponsored by Zappos Let’s talk about Brooks!! One of my very first jobs in the running industry was selling running shoes. The store I worked at is where I first fell in love with running and started to consider myself not just a girl who ran but a runner!  One of my go-to shoes during that time was the Brooks Glycerin. Shortly after I graduated from college there was an opening for a local field marketing representative for Brooks. After applying for the job twice, I eventually got the job (a lesson in not giving up!!) and I have loved the brand ever since. It’s been 15 or so years sin ..read more
