I think one of the most difficult things about blogging on a daily basis is actually not finding the time for it but rather doing it regardless of what’s going on in your life. Being human, most of you understand that things are constantly changing, ebbing and flowing. And in this current moment I am in a sea of that right now with my swimmies on and treading water as fast as I can to stay afloat as I navigate my way through career, family and life stuff. (We all have so much “stuff”!!!)

The beautiful reality is that I will not drown. I actually love to swim and I continue to discover over and over and over again that when I go with the current that life is directing me in, the right things happen. Lots to update y’all on soon so hang with me. Time will be right when it’s right!
So speaking of life lately…
I had to make a super fun trip to the license plate office on the Monday after a long weekend. The line was long but we got business taken care of. I am TERRIBLE about procrastinating on this kind of stuff so I was pleased to knock it out.
I rewarded myself with a trip to ALDI since it’s on the way home. I picked up a few of my favorite staples including their amazing flax flatbread, cheeses, chocolate, prosciutto, nets and a few other things.
I did a quick rough photo shoot today for a yoga advanced asana variations, arm balances and inversions project I’m thinking about working on. It is not fun to bust out these poses when you are not warm.
Stayed at the studio after I got the shots, taught and took and then picked up a venti iced coffee on the way home. Clearly, Sullie needed it more than her momma! Look at that pathetic face!
Dinner tonight was a burger with pimento cheese. I’ve been craving one for weeks and it was time to give into it!
When’s the last time you had a burger? What kind was it?

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 [...]
