I can sum up my day in with three photos.
I made a peanut butter, banana and honey sandwich for breakfast when I got to work this morning. It was necessary after a late night and very early morning.
I looked like a Girl Scout today. I packed these clothes in a half-asleep stupor at 5 a.m. When I put the outfit on after teaching yoga, I immediately thought, “oh god, I am dressed like a freaking Girl Scout.” On my honor, I will try…
{Random side note…I was a Girl Scout for over 10 years and a counselor at the Girl Scout camp I attended. I even had a brownie troop my senior year of college. Nothing but love for the Girl Scouts.}
Dinner tonight consisted of a salad, a glass of red wine and frozen yogurt. I joined some yoga friends for a glass of wine after I taught this evening and almost fell asleep on the table. I stopped at TCBY on my way home. There was no stopping my ice cream craving.
Other tidbits…
- Workout was a hot yoga practice. It was just what I needed to set my mind right for the day.
- I taught a 6:30 a.m. and a 7:15 p.m. hot vinyasa and had a busy day at work. I am ready for bed.
- Soft cookies are the crowd favorite by a landslide. Crunchy cookies are only acceptable when dipped in milk. And cookie dough is definitely the best part of baking cookies. I like your style.
- This is a really crazy, really big week. News on Friday.
I leave you with a quote via my friend Ashley’s blog.
Enjoy the week. Take it one day at a time.

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 [...]
