  • It is a program created by the nikerunning.com website. It provides different workouts and coaching session by different professional athletes. The one that I have chosen is 2 weeks in length, and it is a combination of interval training and endurance. I am planning to start tomorrow (Lindsay Tarpley's program), and the…
  • I like Run Keeper. It tracks my run and it also provides different types of coaching. It plays music from your Itunes and will add comments about distance or the end of your interval. I am really enjoying it.
  • The plans are all found on the nikerunning.com website. You just have to create an account to access them. Then under the Nike+ tab on the left hand side you will find the link that says coach.

  • This is my room mate and my go to drink for a night out. We add a shot of vodka of course but it is delicious. The crystal light cherry pomegranate is delicious too.
  • For my sweet tooth I normally eat a square of dark chocolate. (65-75% by Lindt is the best) I know that it is not warm, but it is quick and yummy.
