This photo sums up how Sullie and I feel about Monday.
I woke up at 6 a.m. to another pounding headache on the right side of my head. I have had one every day since last week. I took it as a sign to skip my morning yoga class, took some ibuprofen and went back to sleep for another hour and a half. I went to see my chiropractor today to get adjusted because I think the headaches are coming from my neck. The only thing that seems to help is massaging my neck and taking ibuprofen. He said I had some weird stuff going on around my C1, adjusted me and put me on the TheraStim but I’m definitely still feeling it. I have never had headaches like this before so it’s a little disconcerting.
Enough whining! Let’s talk PIZZA! I picked up this goat cheese, sundried tomato and pesto pizza from Whole Foods last night for dinner.
I put together a big salad to go with it.
Sunday dinner perfection (+ 1 more slice and lots of hummus and pita chips). Pizza is one of my favorite comfort foods.
Breakfast today was unpictured greek yogurt, granola and fruit and lunch was a cup of vegetable soup, Pop Chips and tea. Afternoon snack was an apple and peanut butter.
I’m so lucky to have this face keeping me company at work today! I have been crazy productive trying to get as much done as possible before I leave for vacation. Just one more day until I’m on the beach! 🙂

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 [...]
