You may have noticed, I have been working on re-designing my site. I still considering switching to self-hosted WordPress (but am afraid to “take the plunge”) and since Picnik is going away in April (this I am not happy about), I decided to try my hand at “designing” before making any major moves anytime soon. The lovely and talented Jenn over at Jenn’s Adventures has a beautifully designed blog that I absolutely love and she also writes a Tech-y Tuesday column, which I find very informative since I am a little technologically challenged. She wrote a post about how to design a Blog Button, but I was still having trouble totally lost, apparently. Jenn is also just about the sweetest person you will ever meet so she helped me set up my buttons. She is pretty-much my blogging hero.
Aren’t they beautiful?! If you think so, grab one! And go to Jenn’s site and grab hers while you are at it!
I had a great training week – it felt so awesome to run, relatively pain free!!
- MON 01/23 – 2 mile training run in 30 min; 15:00 min pace per mile.
- TUES 01/24 – 2 mile training run in 27 min; 13:33 min pace per mile.
- SAT 01/28 – 5 mile MIT training run in 1:14; 14:21 min pace per mile.
I wish I got one more day of running in, but I felt great on these runs, especially the 5 mile run so I am more than happy. Watch out Cap City – we are going to rock this race!
Enter my SunglassesShop.com GIVEAWAY! You have until TOMORROW!


























I like your new header for sure. And your buttons are cute.
I would like to know how you get that graph on your post… that is great. I meant to ask you before when I first saw you were doing it.
Glad you had a good week, Sara… here’s to another!
You are so awesome for the shout out — I love this and I love you girl!! I’ve got your button on my blog, and I can’t wait to do MORE Tech-y Tuesday posts!!
Also, great recap — I’m hoping to get settled and dive right back into my regular workout routine!
Woohoo for pain free runs!!!
Me too, Christina!
Thanks, Elle! The graph is from my Weekly Recap from Dailymile.com. It’s free! I take a screenshot of my weekly workouts and post it here. They also email you one every week, but it is not in a graph form so I personally don’t like it as much. Check out Dailymile.com. I am sure you know a lot of people there already from the blogging community!!
Nice buttons & week, Sara!
I need to go check out Jenn’s site!
your site is looking fantastic!!!!! and seriously…you rocked it this week! you are going to have a blast and totally dominate your race
Nice job doing three runs this week, Sara! Keep up the good work.
I wish we lived closer to each other so that we could run together.
Thanks for sharing the link to making buttons – just made my first one! I grabbed one of yours, feel free to grab mine.
Those buttons look great! Such a bummer about Picnik huh?
Great job this week. I love following your journey!
Way to get in three runs!
Great job on the three runs this past week!
