Hey there. I was really happy to see the squat/burpee ladder workout get such great feedback. A big thanks to everyone who liked and shared on Facebook and Pinterest. I make a lot of workouts available for free so that I’ve usually used in my own training or with clients so I really appreciate the help in getting the word out!
I promised to post the workout songs that have been motivating me lately and I’m super pumped to share this playlist. I 100% guarantee that it will keep you moving.
I try really hard to break out of the Top 40 stuff you hear all the time on the radio and find fun, different songs and remixes. I love every single song on this playlist but here are my favorites.
Outside by Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding. Y’all…I never make a playlist without Ellie!
Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon. So fun and lighthearted. You’ll be singing this song all day.
A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay (Hardwell Remix). A Sky Full of Stars is definitely one of my top 5 songs of 2015 and this remix will make you want to dance while you’re working out!
Keep Your Eyes Open by NEEDTOBREATHE. This song has been on every one of my running playlists for the last couple of months. Listen to the words!
Tell me what songs have been on your running playlist lately? Any artists that you ALWAYS include?

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 [...]
