Loving My Green Drink!

Getting my GREEN on this morning! One interesting thing that I picked up on during the weekend of my longest run ever was the Green Drink. Tony Robbins spoke about it, Dr Oz had a green drink segment about it and my research was positive on the subject. So I decided to start testing! So I went down to my local Whole Foods (which also has a great post on drinking your greens),  purchased some packets of GenEssentials Greens. and went from there.

It's been a little over a week and I like what I am seeing, except for yesterday/Sunday night when I took Melatonin (don't ask). Another thing that I have been looking into is how pH level affects the body. I decided to add lemon juice to the mix to help with my pH level which I have been testing and have been unbalance more often then not.

Setting (and breaking) Long-Run goals!

I have a personal goal of running my first marathon this December. To accomplish this I needed to set up smaller goals. I tend to do a lot better with lots of little accomplishments then one big one. My guess is that quite a few of bus are that way.

This weekend I was up in New Hampshire for a wedding and I figured that it would be the perfect opportunity to break my long-run record and set a new PB. I also would have the opportunity to run by the beach which is a big plus. So on a rainy Saturday morning I started out on what would be my best run yet! I broke my previous long-run record of 13.2 miles with a 15.1 mile finish.  I also shaved a good amount if time off my half marathon time. Needless to say I was pleased.
