First things first, I really, really, really (x 100!) appreciate the kind/encouraging/supportive comments on my decision to take a break from teaching yoga. I need to focus on Metro and my personal practice for the time being but I know that it won’t be long before I’m teaching again. It’s just so much a part of who I am and brings me so much personal joy. I just need a little break to refocus and rediscover my passion. Luckily, I have some private clients and I teach a couple of (very small) yoga classes at Metro so I can get my fix in a very low-key setting before I re-enter the world of studio teaching.
Second, I treated myself to belated birthday present – the new Tom’s Strappy Wedges. I love the pattern and think it will match so many different things! What to do when you’re sad about leaving your yogis? Buy shoes! 😉
Also of note…I ate eggs for breakfast yesterday!
I do want to mix up my breakfasts so I had an egg (cooked with my extra special no fail method that I need to share) along with fruit and toast.
More eggs for dinner tonight. This is what happens at 10 p.m. when I have no appetite for dinner. I get veggie guilt though so I made a scramble with tomatoes, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, spinach and squash and added some avocado on top. I had a slice of gorgonzola foccacia on the side.
Off to put clean sheets on the bed and pass out.

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 [...]
