Hi…
I didn’t forget about you but at least I left you with a really amazing recipe. It’s been great to hear that some of you have already tried and loved the pad thai recipe. It’s one of my faves!
But about the last few days…I led my first Core Desire Yoga weekend intensive with my friend Dorie and it was kind of magical.
I’ll have a complete recap of the experience soon but it was everything we dreamed and hoped it would be and more.
But for now, I’ll quickly share the weekly workouts.
Monday
Hot yoga
Tuesday
Hot yoga
Wednesday
CrossFit
5 rounds for time:
10 hang snatch (55#)
6 barbell front lunges (#55)
10 hang cleans (55#)6 barbell front lunges (55#)
50 double unders
This was my first time doing a CrossFit WOD with other people in a good 3-4 months and HOLY CRAP. It was hard! I finished in a little over 20 minutes.
Thursday
4 mile run at 8:56 pace
Friday
Hot yoga
Saturday
3.5 mile run
This run was hard! I have slowed down a good bit since the half marathon and my average run pace is 8:30-8:55. I ran with my fiance on Saturday and he pushed me to run right under a sub 8 pace and I was dying a little! (But secretly loved the challenge) 🙂
It never ceases to amaze me how much my pace can improve when I really put my mind to training.
Sunday
CrossFit
5 rounds for time:
400 meter run
10 kettlebell swings (35#)
15 back squats (75#)
20 dumbbell snatches (20#, 10 each arm)
Took me about 25 minutes.
And finally, I’ve been planking. I am loving taking my own #UltimatePlankChallenge and it’s been crazy fun to see so many of my friends, family (family…the best!) and readers taking the challenge with me!
Have a great week!

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 [...]

Advent calendars have become such a fun tradition for us during the holiday season. Finn really looks forward to his daily surprise and I love the huge array of calendars to choose from – for kids and adults! I let Finn pick out his advent calendar this year and I think I might treat myself [...]

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 [...]
