I had a super quiet solo weekend and it was just what I needed. 48 hours of downtime was the perfect reset button after spending six weeks balancing going back and forth to Durham, work and motherhood. While the last few weekends that I’ve spent in Charlotte with Finn have been so laid-back, fun and [...]

Weekend Scenes
October 23, 2017 { 8 comments }Hi and big thanks for your Portland recommendations! I knew I could count on you guys to steer me in the right direction. My current plan is to take in as much of the outdoors and donuts as possible. I’ve received very opinionated recommendations for both Voodoo donuts and Blue Star so obviously I need [...]

Fall For Real + Recent Eats
September 23, 2014 { 18 comments }As much as I’ve tried to avoid fall and have complained about all the early pumpkin pushing, it’s here. Today is the first full day of fall and it sure does feel like it in Charlotte. It’s 60 degrees, gray and raining on and off. My body and mind are feeling the change of seasons. I woke up [...]

Starting Off With A Bang
June 18, 2013 { 37 comments }First, thanks for all of the happy birthday wishes. It was a happy weekend. But I have to say 30 isn’t off to the greatest start! I got my first migraine headache on Saturday night and it completely freaked me out. I couldn’t sleep because my head hurt so bad so I got up at [...]

Blog Direction + Green Coconut Curry Recipe
September 14, 2012 { 16 comments }I have been a little sporadic with posting lately. It’s not that I don’t have a ton of ideas for things that I want to post about (lacrosse ball mobility, active v. dynamic stretching, a stability ball core workout, a yoga for runners video, recipes, etc.), it’s more that I am lacking the time to [...]

Okay Fall…Let’s Do This
September 5, 2012 { 27 comments }I love summer…the food, cookouts, ice cream, warm weather, beach trips, pool days…all of it. Given the choice, I will always choose sweating over freezing. I swear, I am like a reptile and I need to soak warm sun into my body. So it’s a little surprising that I’ve kind of been getting into the [...]

Taking Steps, Making Progress
August 1, 2012 { 41 comments }Much thanks for all of the music suggestions. I’ve already started listening to The Lumineers radio on Pandora. Can’t wait to check out some of the artists and download some of the songs you recommended! I love it when we can all information share like this. Just yesterday I finally orderd a new blow dryer based on [...]

Slowly Recovering (with the help of good food!)
October 4, 2010 { 4 comments }I’m slowly recovering from yesterday’s 20-miler. The first step was ice bath, hot shower and food. The second step involved me sitting on the couch from 2:30-7:30 p.m. without moving. I blogged, watched Grey’s Anatomy and ate peanut butter chocolate chip bars. It was glorious. Around 6:30 my legs said, “beer me.” I had a [...]

Base Building
May 17, 2010 { 8 comments }I can’t put it off any longer. It’s imminent. I must find a way to overcome my yoga addiction and get back on the road to start building my base for Marine Corps Marathon training. My 3-4 mile runs here and there are not cutting it to prepare me for the training cycle that starts [...]

Making the Most of It
April 20, 2010 { 12 comments }We had grand plans of packing yesterday afternoon but Brandon ended up at the Y and I decided to go to a hot yoga class at Y2. I have to be honest, I really wasn’t feeling it…at all…but I always go on Sunday afternoons when we’re in town and am pretty set in my routines. [...]
