I am home in Charlotte after spending the last week in Georgia. I think this was the longest I’ve been away from Charlotte in almost two years. While I appreciated every second of time being with my family, it was so wonderful to see my girls and get a big hug from my fiance after an emotional week.
I had a pretty strong week of workouts despite being away. There’s a nice gym that offers Les Mills classes that I joined for the week and I got some running in. I did miss my yoga practice but I’ll be getting lots of that in over the next two months as I am participating in our annual yoga challenge at the studio.
Monday
BodyPump + BodyAttack
So I wanted to get some cardio in after BodyPump and BodyAttack was starting right after. I decided to give it a go and holy crap! I was sweating like crazy after 5 minutes. Fun workout.
Tuesday
3 mile run + yoga
I got a quick three mile run in and then visited a yoga studio that opened recently in my grandmother’s small town. It was a lovely class and a great stretch! Felt good.
Wednesday
5 rounds:
10 pull ups
20 wall balls
20 kettlebell deadlifts
10 burpees
20 sit ups
Did this on my own at the gym.
Thursday
5 mile run
Sunset run along the river.
Friday
BodyPump
Saturday
6.5 mile run
Another river run. Since I missed the Thunder Road Half, I decided to run “half of a half.” haha
It was a gorgeous day for a run. 60 degrees, sunny and beautiful scenery!
Sunday
Hot yoga
Home sweet sweaty Y2 Yoga home! 🙂 I taught and took a class.
Tell me about your week of workouts? Did anyone race this weekend? How did it go!?

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
