Morning! Today’s post is going to be a hodge podge of recent favorites from music to food to reading material so let’s get right to it. Perfect early morning coffee sipping activity! 🙂
To snack on…
This artichoke spinach “hommus” from Cedar’s. So tasty!
These crackers from Glutino. I tried this brand a few months ago and have been buying them ever since. I love the traditional sea salt flavor and this rosemary and olive oil. Note, they are WAY expensive in the normal grocery store and reasonably priced and on sale often at Whole Foods.
To listen to…
I have been playing this song in savasana for my yogis all week. It’s achingly beautiful and soothing.
Love Katy Perry slowing it down a little here.
To read…
– The Russians are letting you squat to earn subway fare. Seriously.
– How to Hustle Through Heartbreak (and spend some time on this site in general…lots of good stuff to read here)
– “Figure out what matters by getting rid of everything that doesn’t.” On “editing” your life.
Have a wonderful day!
Any recent favorite finds?

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.

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 [...]
