Happy Friday! Happy Friday! Wait, let me say it again…happy Friday! Thank you so much for the amazing feedback on yesterday’s post. I’ve said it so many times but I feel so grateful to have this space where we can all share and contribute. Your feedback and openness touches my heart. Seriously.

It has been a LONG week and I am so happy to welcome the weekend. Let me give you a quick look at what I’ve been eating lately and then I put together a little video post for you today answering some reader questions. All photos courtesy of my iPhone because I haven’t had my DSLR with me for the past few days.

Dinner last night was chicken stuffed with goat cheese, arugula and tomatoes with kale chips and roasted potatoes.

Breakfast the past few mornings has been plain yogurt, banana, granola and a blob of peanut butter shoveled down between clients and classes.

Lunch the past few days has been a salad from Reid’s, the market across the street from the gym. Loved today’s salad with arugula, red peppers, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, pecans, craisins, feta and salmon.

I was crazy excited to get a text from Brittney today telling me she would be downstairs at the coffee shop and asking if I wanted to meet baby Allie. Getting to catch up with her and hold a precious two month old baby was the highlight of my day.

And now for the video post.

Here’s what I cover:

– Early morning workout nutrition
– Is yoga good for runners?
– Tips for packing a gym bag
– Green smoothies
– CrossFit workout recovery

And Sullie makes a guest appearance!

Have a great weekend!

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

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 [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

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 [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

So Many Dinner Ideas

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 [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

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 [...]
