My BodyPump class was rocking tonight!
We had about 40 participants – amazing! I’m so happy that the January crowd is sticking around (plus all of my awesome regulars!). It’s been great. There was one minor bump in the road…I got all suited up with my belt and mic, got the class in set position and went to hit play on the CD player and realized that there was nothing in there. I left my music in the car. I had to sprint out of class to go get it but luckily everyone was forgiving despite my starting class a couple minutes late. 😳
I taught BodyPump 76 again and I liked it even more the second time around. I think triceps are my favorite in this release.
I had two fun visitors tonight. Meg and Mimi from Lululemon. I love having their smiling faces in class and they were so nice to stay after and give two of my favorite regulars a little something to test.
And Tracy and Jessica were so sweet to humor me and take a picture even though we were all kind of gross from class!
Brandon and I had plans to meet friends for dinner this evening so I headed over to Lebowski’s after class.
We enjoyed dinner, drinks and conversation with Lelia and Matt.
My dinner shots didn’t turn out beautifully but I had a caprese sandwich and a salad. I haven’t seen Lelia since before Christmas so it was great to catch up!
Since I don’t have a dinner picture for you, here is today’s lunch.
Leftover Greek-inspired quinoa over spinach and topped with feta, greek yogurt and hummus. Pear slices on the side.
Happy Friday! What do you guys have going on this weekend? I have another weekend of yoga teacher training!

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 [...]
