Ten miles @ 8:38 average… part trails and part roads.
The best part of the run was running into LAUREN. She was out hiking, so we joined her for a bit. She will be running in a few weeks and has been so careful over the last few months to allow her body to heal. I cannot wait to do all of the miles again with her.
Andrew got out for his run. I can’t wait to see how he does in the marathon. This will be his first marathon during our marriage. He did train for one in 2020 but it was canceled. I cannot wait to see him hit this goal.
I wonder if this race training will get him hooked on running again?!
I would cook 400% more if my family would tell me what sounds good to them. It is so much more fun and motivating to cook when I know they will eat and love it. Skye wanted chicken noodle soup on top of mashed potatoes yesterday, and it hit the spot.
Just a few tangents today!
*Beck loves to carry around these massive cucumbers from my in-law’s garden to munch on.
*We realized our passports expire 3 months after our trip to Budapest (ps Andrew and I both got our passports within a few days of each other before we even knew each other…), and they need us to renew them because they want at least a 6-month buffer. Here’s to hoping we can get them in time. They are telling us it will take 1-3 weeks, and we leave in 4 weeks from today.
I am SO excited to be able to share my love of Core Power with a few lucky readers today! #AD. I cannot tell you how many running friends I have completely hooked to Core Power. They try it and can’t believe how easy Core Power makes it for them to get 26g or 42g of protein right after a workout. They also can’t believe that it tastes just like a milkshake. I will forever be grateful for finding Core Power because it has helped me so much with my training (recovery is just as important as logging the miles!), and I look forward to it every day. I challenge you to try it for yourself. Please tell me what you think! My life mission is to help runners understand the importance of refueling within 30 minutes of their workouts, and I believe Core Power is the perfect way to do this!
I am giving four readers each 24 bottles (or 2 cases) of Core Power Vanilla and Chocolate 26g.

Running sets my pace and tempo for the day (ha!). My day and thoughts are more organized and I have more energy throughout the day after an early morning run…everything seems to run smoother!

For me, it’s the feeling after a run! I’m hot, sweaty, and tired, but man do I feel so good!
Kyla
Feeling 100x better than I did when I first started!

I love that exercise wakes me up (I’m a morning runner/exerciser) and gives me the energy and patience to get through the day. It also makes me feel strong and confident. I enjoy Core Power drinks – thanks to you!

Hey there! I was diagnosed with a rare cancer/tumor in April, and what I love about working out and running, is that it is still the ONE thing that gives me an amazing boost of energy on the days the chemo fatigue hits so hard. I run a bit slower these days, and work out a bit less, but I still look forward to those days when that really good-feeling work out happens. =)

One of my favorite things about working out is the feeling of pride it gives. It’s a time when I can be selfish, be mindful of my own thoughts, and know that I am doing something for me that makes me a better person- mind, body, and spirit!!

I’m loving trying out new shoes. I work at the St. George running center so I get to try lots of fun shoes.

Running just make me feel good about myself. It gives me confidence. With those results, why wouldn’t I run? I just love it.

The chocolate Core Power is my favorite.
I haven’t been running as much lately but have gotten more into lifting weights. I just upped my weights on everything week and it feels pretty amazing.
Sarah
Love having some time outside first thing in the morning on my run!
Kristin
I love the social aspect of running. I work long hours in the ICU, so my pre-work running workouts with my friends are my most treasured part of the day.
Jen
I have been so curious about core power. I am sure I will try it at some point. These days I have been incorporating a lot more strength training and love it when I notice the difference in my strength!
Can’t wait to read about your trip.

I’m an early morning runner, and there’s something so magical about the rhythm of feet on pavement amid the quiet of world still sleeping. I love the calm and meditation of it all. Good luck, everyone! 🍀✨
Julie
I love that running gets me out of bed and out of the house first thing in the morning! It’s a form of therapy for me, helps set the tempo of my day, and improves other areas of my life besides health and fitness.
Sonia
Running grounds me for the day!!
Jamie
I’ve gotten hooked on Core Power thanks to you! Strawberry Banana is my current fave, but I love Vanilla too (and chocolate…who am I kidding).
Running keeps me sane! Helps me get out my nervous energy and get the day moving on the right foot.

I love that running changes with the seasons of your life. I have been running for 20 years and have enjoyed and needed it for different reasons- fun, exercise, sanity, relaxation, and the list goes on!
Laura
I love running every day for the stress relief and the challenge of keeping up my running streak (currently one year!)
Alli Case
I LOVE RUNNING! It’s the first breaths after you finish where you just feel the heaving and accomplishment and victory. I also love chatting while running first thing in the morning best start to the day :)
