Here’s a look at my weekend in photos…
Friday night pizza. I needed this like no one’s business.
Saturday morning at the farmers market after a beautiful yoga practice with Grace Morales. Highlights including mountain apples, lacinto kale, rainbow chard and the most ginormous bunch of beets for a whopping $4.
Paleo banana bread but with pumpkin puree subbed for some for some of the banana.
Saturday evening celebrating the opening of Carolina Barre & Core.
So excited about this!
Sushi dinner after the party. It was AMAZING. More details later!
Sunday morning breakfast while I was playlisting for my yoga class.
My Sunday morning yogis in savasana. My heart runneth over with gratitude for them.
Brunch after class. Sautéed swiss chard topped with an egg, leftover roasted butternut squash, turkey bacon and a sprinkle of goat cheese.
I ended up subbing another afternoon class at the last moment. I love this tattoo that one of our students has on her wrist. I don’t have a tattoo but I’m a pretty big fan of the mantra wrist tattoos. Who knows, maybe one day? (Don’t freak out mom. xoxo)
Leftover pizza dinner for the win. Today was my second rest day of the week. Necessary after spending three hours teaching in a 100 degree room today. My students worked it out for me.
Hope it’s been a great weekend.
Do you have any tattoos?

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 [...]
