Happy Sunday!
Zoey and I are SO HAPPY to see the sun after five days of rain and gloom. So happy that y’all loved our little video blog. It was fun to document her in that stage. 🙂
This was not the best week of workouts. I only got one yoga practice and one CrossFit/strength workout in. Thank god for running. It’s always been my default workout when I can’t fit anything else in. It’s so easy just to throw on some shoes and head out the door.
The only downside of all the running is that it makes my body super tight. I needed an army of blocks to make it through my practice on Tuesday. I was so locked up that it took a block under my thigh and two under my hands to get into splits on my left side. You do what you gotta do! It just makes me believe so strongly in the power of yoga for runners and athletes of all sports to help undo all of that stress we put on our bodies.
Monday
5 mile run
Tuesday
Hot yoga
Wednesday
REST
Thursday
5 mile run
Friday
CrossFit Main Site WOD
Row 1,000 meters
30 dips
30 sumo deadlift high-pulls
30 handstand push-ups
30 power snatches
30 burpees
30 pull-ups
30 thrusters
The prescribed bar weight for guys was 75 so I used 45. 55 would have been more of a challenge for me but the lighter 45 pound bar let me keep moving at a good pace. I finished in 23:40 or somewhere right around there. This was a hard WOD!
Saturday
3 mile run
Sunday
Run (distance TBD)
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
What did your week of workouts look like? Did one thing dominate? Anything you wish you would have gotten more of?

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 [...]
