The Wonders of Bacon

The Wonders of Bacon

I received an email from some website suggesting that I should write a blog post about the wonders of bacon because “everyone loves bacon.” I thought, yes, perhaps that’s true but it doesn’t seem to fit with the Becoming Elli motif.  We're the group who does the Veggie Challenge. We're a group of women who eat in a variety of ways but we do try to focus on being healthy. Bacon is popular right now with the Keto followers because it's a good source of fat and protein. It's a very fatty meat, regardless of the source of the pork. The Wonders of Bacon I remember frying up lots of bacon to go with pancakes when my son had a birthday sleepover to celebrate turning 13. Those boys...

Towpath Half Marathon Race Recap

Towpath Half Marathon Race Recap

Here's the Towpath Half Marathon Race Recap before I forget the details.  It was a hard race for me but I managed to complete it. Towpath Half Marathon Race Recap I used the run-walk method that I used in training. I stuck with the three minutes of running and one minute of walking for the most part. There were some steep hills at the beginning and end of the race. They were tough so I found that my walking window was longer when I was going uphill, especially at the end of the race.

Training with a Run-Walk Program

Training with a Run-Walk Program

I've been training with a Run-Walk program because I'm scheduled to run my half marathon this coming weekend. I signed up for this race, knowing it would be tight time-wise to train for for it. This summer, I was doing the Couch to 5K with my dog and ran a four mile race on the Fourth of July. I had to walk part of that race because it was really a bit too long for me at the time. As I began to increase my mileage for this race, I wanted to avoid getting injured. In the past, I ended up with a few different injuries from over training and I really wanted to avoid that this time. I did some research and decided that I needed...
