I am soooo not a domestic goddess. Let’s put it this way… if I could afford a housekeeper and someone to cook for me, that’s money I would completely spend. Happily. Alas, I don’t have that kind of money… I definitely do not cook as much as I should. I know that if I cooked [...]

Goal setting for 2012
December 31st, 2011 
bekkib73 Well, if you would have told me a year ago what my life would look like today, I might have punched you in the throat. Okay, probably not, since I’m not really the violent type, but I certainly would have called you an f’n liar to your face. There pretty much isn’t anything about the [...]

November 28th, 2011 bekkib73 While I strive to lead a healthy lifestyle, it’s no secret that this Wild Child likes her beer! So yesterday I decided that I wanted to try my hand at making some beer bread! A quick google search came up with a plethora of recipes. They all seemed very similar. I decided to use the [...]
Wanted: My Motivation
November 26th, 2011 bekkib73 Crap. It was *just* here… where did I put it? Oh motivation… why must you be so elusive? I have pretty much done very little in the form of healthy living in the last month and a half. At first it was resting up so that I would be able to start marathon training with [...]
Training Log Tuesday – Resting up!
November 1st, 2011 bekkib73 It’s been a few weeks since I posted my weekly training log. Why? Well because after the Wine Country half marathon on October 16th, I decided to take a bit of a rest before I start into my training for my 2012 events! Because those 2 events? They are big! I will be running my [...]

October 10th, 2011 bekkib73 Yesterday I ran 11 miles. I felt great and it was the perfect final long run before the Wine Country half marathon next weekend. (My 5th half marathon of 2011!) I had the opportunity to *finally* make it to a boot camp class this morning. I realized yesterday that I would be able to make [...]

October 4th, 2011 bekkib73 Happy Tuesday! So, a little confession time? I did not get all my workouts in this past week. I got 2 out of 3 of my training runs in. But did nothing else. I had a really good, healing weekend and am hoping that going forward I will be able to get my workouts done. [...]
Training Log Tuesdays
September 27th, 2011 bekkib73 Welcome to my new weekly post. This is where I will share how my training is going. I am hoping that adding a level of accountability will help keep (get) me on track! What I’m training for: Wine Country half marathon on October 16, 2011. I ran this race last year, but had seriously over [...]
Chocolate Milk and Team Refuel
August 15th, 2011 bekkib73 I’ve always loved chocolate milk. Chocolate + milk, how can you go wrong? When I started really getting into longer distances of running, I heard that chocolate milk is a very good recovery drink. It has carbs and protein – things that your body needs after a tough workout. Well, I’m sold! A few weeks [...]
