Confessions of an Amateur Athlete

I'd like to introduce you to a fellow Arizona runner, blogger, and all around inspiration!  Meet Daniel, aka, Blessed Runner.  He's a pro at balancing running and being a dad.  Both alone are full-time jobs!  He and I partnered in our #RunEatTweetAZ blog swap (you can read my post and more from Daniel over on  http://blessedrunners.com ) Now let's go on a Training Journey with Blessed Runner !

I bring you a guest blog from a fellow I'm Fit Possible Ambassador!    Meet Jessica!

She found a true passion in health and fitness and recently started a new blog dedicated to just that called Jessica Gets Fit . She is excited to share her journey to a healthier, happier, more active lifestyle and her continuing weight loss journey. You can also find her on Facebook , Twitter , Instagram , and Pinterest . Today Jessica weighs in on how to deal with your first running injury!  How To Deal With Your First Running-Related Foot Injury Hi! I ’ m Jessica, a fellow amateur athlete who blogs over at Jessica Gets Fit (and Anchored in CLE ).

It's going to be a busy week of blogging... but LOTS of great stuff is on the way.  Let me give you a preview of what's ahead! First off, I'll be running the Color Fun Fest 5K this Saturday.  It's a NIGHTtime color run with paint, disco lights, glow sticks, the works. Plus, it goes to some great local charities! I'll be taking tons of pics for a full race review on this EPIC run.  I'm really excited and I hope to bring you just as Epic of a post afterwards!   Next up, I'll be participating in a Blog Swap through the I'm Fit Possible community.  My blog-swap partner is Jill who blogs at Fitness, Health and Happiness ( http://jillconyers.com/ ).  She's got a great blog and she'll be doing a little "takeover" here on my site very soon and I'll be posting over on her blog!  I'll post little bio on Jill before the Blog Swap so you can learn a little more about her.  Until then, check out her sight! It's pretty great. ...
