Today I realized how little fitness talk I’ve shared around these parts. Yes, foodiEcology is primarily a food blog (it’s in the name—hello?), but blogging is also a way to hold myself accountable to a fitness routine. I’ve met a couple of my exercise-related goals on my 30 Before 30 list (trying a yoga class…

Tunnel Vision 5K {MIMM #8}
This past Saturday I (mostly) ran my second 5K—Tunnel Vision—hosted by the Lions Club. It was freezing (for coastal Alabama…in May), but it couldn’t have been a more gorgeous day! We began near the downtown library and ran down Government Street through the tunnel and onto the causeway. Thankfully, I didn’t feel too claustrophobic in…
Color Me Rad
This past weekend was absolutely beautiful—and it was our very first 5K! Bright and early Saturday morning, Mark and I downed spinach/fruit smoothies and drove to the fairgrounds for Color Me Rad. There were tons of people there! We ran the 9:20 wave, which began right on time. Though we didn’t run the entire way, we…
MIMM #4: Officially a Runner
Did everybody’s weekend fly by the way mine did? Despite feeling cheated of my days off, Monday began well with this energizing breakfast smoothie. Believe it or not, it actually kept me full until lunch (well, I did have a tiny handful of trail mix). Ingredients 2 handfuls spinach ½ cup Greek yogurt ½ banana…
WIAW #17: I’m no rabbit…
I have to admit that tonight’s post almost didn’t happen. I’m tired! I had a great workout at gymnastics tonight, thanks to being the only person in class for a good 15 minutes. Yesterday I completed a 1.5 mile run! My previous run (1 mile) was last Tuesday (yes, I slacked off Thursday and Saturday),…
Mile Accomplished + WIAW #15
I always love Wednesdays, but I’m especially fond of today. In exactly one week, I will be at Harry Potter World sipping butter beer and learning how to use a magic wand! 🙂 Another reason I’m particularly happy today is my achievement of a small fitness goal. Last Thursday, Sunday, and yesterday, I ran a…
WIAW #14 + Jello Arms
Today I’d hoped to share how I finally ran a mile without stopping. I’m blaming the awful humidity and the half-awake stupor I was in, but Saturday’s run was worse than the previous two! No mile—yet. Also, my planned run for yesterday didn’t happen because it was extremely windy and raining. I did, however, do…
Almost a Mile + WIAW #13
Since I’m likely signing up for Color Me Rad in April, yesterday I decided it was time to bite the bullet and start training. I’m not a runner. In fact, I’ve always loathed running. Even when I excelled in every other category of the physical fitness testing in grammar school (I rocked the flex arm…
