What’s cookin’, good lookin’? Hopefully, the start to your week is just as marvelously fab as mine has been! There are two things everyone on the planet dreads the most – mornings and Mondays, especially when they happen together once a week – but today,…
HAPPY MONDAY!! I am having THE greatest morning!! What started as a walk/run ended up being a non-stop, virtually pain free, slow, easy run to the gym for back and biceps. Form was on the top of my mind and I figured out what I need to fix. Just so happy to run at all right now! Taking tomorrow off & will see how lefty responds. Healing up slowly but surely! Foam rolled and stretched like it was my job after, Lefty was happy. But the eats afterwards, now THAT was the cherry on top, just wait until you see what I did… #workout #fitness #fitfam #instafit #run #runner #running #instarun #runchat #iloverunning #happy #life #findyourstrong #whatsbeautiful #getstrong #buildmuscle #cardio #liftweights #strengthtraining #gym #betruetoyou #liveyourlife #summer #love
#planking on a bench at a nearby elementary school, where I use their #track to test out lefty and #run 8x400s, 2:30 on and 1:30 off . Had planned 12, an it wasn’t too bad but after the 8th round I noticed my form was being affected on my 9th go around and decided to stop and stretch like a mofo. There was a bench, I planked and wondered how you guys plank and snap a pic, so I tried, it felt so awkward. Only reason I’m even posting is bc it makes it look like I actually have boobs and this made me happy lmao #runnerproblems. I #ran slow, I ran little, but what made my day today was that I ran at all. I’ve missed it so much, just that little taste of it this morning was enough for me. :) #plankaday #plank #fitness #workout #running #runchat #runner #findyourstrong #betruetoyou #listentoyourbody #igfitness #fitfam #getstrong #training #saturday #morning #getafterit #wakeupandrun #bestrong #nevergiveup #followyourdreams #chasefear

First thing’s first: The Colonoscopy Chronicles are going to be wrapped up in one final postthat…
Happy Pancake Saturday!
This morning, I teased everyone with a scrumptiously golden, monster-sized stack of pancakes on instagram and then was a big meanie and held on to the recipe until now. I’ve been doing a little back-logging on myself, and read…
It’s Thursday, the day I’ve been looking forward to all week. All of the colonoscopy junk would be behind me, I could get my hangry eats on, roast me a kabocha squash with cake inside smothered in nut butter or some kind of yummy sauce and stuff my face,…
#nofilter #uawomen #underarmour #IWILL find the strength in myself to keep on pushing even when my mind wants to stop. Really only wanted to run 5 or 6, but would’ve rather chilled in the backyard with coffee and the newspaper. I laced up and headed out anyway. It was a great run, one with a few challenges like a strain and GI issues, but I pushed through and got it done. #tiuspringfever #bikiniseries #findyourstrong #irunthisbody #instarun #instarunner #run #running #summer #getitdone #fitness #instafit #workout #sweat #bestrong #beresilient #fitspo #chasefear :)
Hey there, I'm Joanne, a 21 year old English student, gym rat, nutrition fact loving, wanna-be runner with a hyperactive Brittany named Charlie. After losing 140lbs all on my own I've become super passionate about fitness and nutrition. I'm a bit of an everythingtarian who loves experimenting with vegetarian and vegan diets. I'd love to see the day I run a 5k in 30 mins without stopping (DONE! First 5k race 03/4/2012 run in 29:23).
These are my thoughts, workouts, eats and shenanigans from my erratic mind to your computer screen, enjoy :)

Reality:
I couldn’t think of anything better to do at 6 a.m. than running around with sweat in my eyes...

My first run in Iowa! It were way more rolling hills than I expected here! It was good hill...
