Life lately has been completely focused on the final push to my book deadline on Monday. I’ve spent countless hours at the computer wrapping up the copy and approving the final photography. 125+ poses have been photographed and written and I’m coming in around 30,000 words.
My weekend can pretty much be summed up by sitting in front of the computer, teaching yoga and the photos below.
Four days of rain + a mischievous pup = a recipe for disaster. This happened in under five minutes outside today. I wanted to be mad but how could I not smile when this greeted me at the back door?
I scooped her up and whisked her off to the bathtub.
Which Zoey was clearly thrilled about.
I can’t get over how tiny she is when she’s not a big fluff ball. And this girl loves to eat! She spins circles, barks and runs like the wind to her crate when it’s “wiggle, wiggle” time. She eats three times a day!
I did get all fancied up on Saturday for one last holiday party. I exchanged a dress I received for Christmas for this lovely black number from Nordstrom.
Felicity & Coco Lace Yoke Fit & Flare Ponte Dress. And I wore the Guess Lace Pumps (they’re on sale 50% off!) that I blogged about in my New Year’s Eve post. I received lots of compliments on both the dress and the shoes.
Rest assured that this is not becoming a fashion blog! A golden retriever blog, maybe, but not fashion! 🙂
I’ll be back to normal posting on Tuesday!

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
