Happy first gameday of the year college football fans! I am so excited that football season is here! Let me remind you where our loyalties lie…

With the GEORGIA BULLDOGS!!! I was born and raised in Georgia and have been a Georgia fan for as long as I can remember. Brandon and I met in college at the University of Georgia! It is so much fun to be a SEC football fan. Gamedays are pretty much like Christmas morning for us! 😉
Here are some gameday memories from over the years.
2004 with Meghan and Michelle.
2004 with Brandon
2004 with Michelle, Ryan and Brandon (and friend Joey in the background!)
Georgia v. Florida in 2005 in Jacksonville with Michelle and Meghan
Georgia v. Alabama in 2007 in Tuscaloosa with Cristen (most fun away game ever!).
Must admit that I LOVE the tailgating setup in Tuscaloosa.
Celebrating the Dawgs victory in overtime against Alabama with tears in my eyes!
(We were living in Alabama at the time so this was a BIG deal!)
Georgia v. Alabama in 2008 in Athens. Sadly, we did not win this game and I actually cried in the stadium because I didn’t want to go back to Alabama and here all the Bama fans gloat at work. 🙁
Georgia v. Florida in 2008 in Jacksonville (the world’s largest outdoor cocktail party!)
Georgia v. South Carolina in 2009 in Athens with best friends Ryan, Brandon, Michelle, Meghan and Josh.
Looking forward to another fun season of cheering on the Dawgs! 😀
Are you a college football fan? What team?

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 [...]
