It’s been a good day. I had my first 5 a.m. wake up call in a long time to teach a yoga/mobility private. It was awesome and totally worth the early morning. I planned on coming home for breakfast but got caught up at the gym and ended up teaching a class so I just grabbed a bar to hold me over.
My lunch was worth the wait. I came home and knocked out a quick three mile run and showered and then threw together this egg scramble with all the veggies in the fridge/freezer. Remember my “All Hail The Grilled Cheese” post? I need to write an “Ode To The Egg Scramble” post. It’s such a great meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
After lunch I went back into the gym to train a client and work. I am loving that I’ve been able to incorporate more training and yoga privates into my schedule. I just love working one-on-one with people and I am so lucky to have the best clients!
Peanut butter and jelly smoothie before teaching BodyPump (yes, I still do that ;)). Peanut butter, banana, blueberries, soy milk and protein powder.
Dinner at The Liberty with a friend after class. Highlights included Old Bay boiled peanuts, mussels with a smoky tomato sauce, scallops with fresh figs and pork sliders.
Wine and chocolate for dessert. And not just any chocolate…a Vosges Barcelona Bar with hickory smoked almonds, sea salt and milk chocolate.
I finally colored my hair today. My stylist totally shut down my my Jessica Biel inspiration but honestly, I’m glad he did. I think it would have been a bit of a shock given that I never color. He offered a happy medium and we did an all over dark brown and then painted a few light pieces underneath. I happened to wear my hair curly to the appointment and he said it helped him to pick out where my hair naturally kinda sections together so that he could create a more realistic blend of light/dark. I love it!
I’m feeling good. And happy. Have an amazing Friday!

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 [...]
