RWS Features #41

October 19, 2012 | blogging, fitness, Guest Post, running

 

Good morning. It’s been a wild week for me medically speaking. I plan to share more on Monday or Tuesday, but let’s just say I can’t wait to feel 100% again! While I am still recovering, I thought it was time to let someone else do the blogging, so here’s another RWS Feature!

Meet Sabrina, a fellow #SweatPink ambassador!

 

1.) How/Why did you start blogging?

Becka at 50 half marathons in 50 states inspired me to start blogging. I thought it would be a fun way to be creative plus keep me accountable Also it was a fun way to share with my family and friends my running obsession (fun for me anyway).

2.) Sum up your blog in a couple sentences:

Just Plodding Along is where I share my quest to complete 30 half marathons before turning 30, 17 down and 1 year until I turn 30. Races, running gear, and life overshares can all be found on my blog.

3.) What do you wish to accomplish/achieve by blogging?

I hope to share my story and inspire others but also be inspired by other runners.

4.) What is your biggest healthy living accomplishment?

I would stay sticking with my goal of 30 before 30 but also losing about 30lbs and finding confidence in myself and my abilities.

5.) What is your blog URL and twitter handle

    30 before 30 is a great idea! My goal is to probably finish a 50 miler before 30. Haha, we’ll see. Definitely going to check out Sabrina’s blog. [o:

      I am intrigued by ultras, 50 miles sounds like a pretty awesome goal!

    Sabrina, good luck with your 30 before 30! I’ve never set an age specific goals but I always have yearly goals.

      Thank you! Goals keep me motivated so I am already thinking about what goal should be next:)

    I’ve been a long-time reader of Sabrina’s blog and she is turning into a bomb runner. It’s been cool to watch her journey; great choice!

    Good luck with the 30 before 30. I’ve been contemplating doing the Disney full marathon in 2015 to celebrate my 30th, which come a couple weeks afterwards.

    • Bean says

      October 21, 2012 at 7:50 pm

      I have heard great things about Disney runs and kind of have a not so secret wish to do the goofy challenge one year. I think that sounds like a great way to celebrate.

    30 before 30…i like it. Enjoy the process 😉

    My fitness milestone this year is the Women’s Half. It’s my first half and it’s Nov. 18. After that, marathon… maybe goofy even 🙂

    I love Bean! We’re kind of e-BFFs who got to meet in real life this week. Anyway, I love her humor and down-to-earth-iness. And I don’t have any age goals, except running makes me excited to get older because of the whole age group thing and getting extra minutes for qualifying for Boston. Yay, oldsters (that’s me!).
