Happy Friday! It’s been a gorgeous week here in Charlotte and full of all the normal things – training clients, teaching classes, running and momming. Finn and I spent over two hours at the park yesterday afternoon and it was just perfect – low 70s, low humidity, sunshine and fresh air. I’m on a mission [...]

Hello, hello! I hope it was a great weekend for y’all and that the new week is off to a great start. I’m popping in with a quick weekend recap and an update on marathon training before I head out to teach a hot sculpt class. I just went waaaay down the Instagram rabbit hole [...]

Happy Friday! I’ve got a ton of lunch ideas coming for ya in this post. After teaching 15 group fitness and yoga classes in the span of 7 days – put a fork in me…I am done! While I absolutely love teaching, I am very much looking forward to having two full days off and [...]

I spent last weekend visiting Johnson City, Tennessee where I was a guest instructor at Real Hot Yoga. I taught two power flow classes, a flow + lift class, a power flow and yin class, an advanced postures workshop and a slow flow into yoga nidra class. This was my first visit to Real Hot [...]

Happy “The Life of a Showgirl” day to all those celebrating! I have made my way through the new album and upon first listen – I like it! I will be team teaching a special Taylor Swift Album Release Party sculpt class at the gym this evening so that should be a ton of fun. [...]

I’m so excited to sit down and recap stage 5 of the 2025 TransRockies Run because it was by far my favorite stage of them all! The whole experience TRR was magical but there was something special about stage 5 for me. We started the day in Red Cliff and ended in Vail. The course [...]

Happy Sunday friends. I am posted up on the couch watching the Panthers/Falcons game. Carolina is actually winning and playing well – I shouldn’t type that because I’ll jinx it (we are sooooo bad)! I much prefer college over NFL football but I like football on in the background and always fun to cheer on [...]

Stage 4 of the TransRockies Run was an absolute dream! It took us from our camp at Nova Guides to Red Cliff, Colorado with a shorter distance of 14 miles and incredible views throughout. And bonus – we didn’t have to pack up camp before the start because we had two nights at Nova Guides. [...]

Happy Sunday friends! I am taking a pause from my TransRockies Run recaps to catch you up on life lately – because it’s been jam-packed and pretty sweet! WE HAVE A FIRST GRADER  Finn started first grade last Monday and seems to be thriving. His dad and I took him to open house together and [...]

Stage 3 of the TransRockies Run brought our longest stage, a contrast to our shortest and steepest stage at Hope Pass the day before. We started the day in Leadville and ended at Nova Guides. Here’s how it all went down! MORNING AT CAMP I was up before dawn and made my way to Chillville [...]

It’s time for my recap of Stage 2 of the 2025 TransRockies Run. This stage took us from across Hope Pass to Twin Lakes. We started the day in Buena Vista and ended it in Leadville. MORNING AT CAMP We were up around 4:45a to start preparing for the day. It was an early start [...]

On Saturday, August 9, I completed the 2025 TransRockies Run! I trekked 120 miles across the Colorado Rockies with a total climb of over 20,000 feet. I did this alongside 540 other runners and with the support of over 150 volunteers! It was EPIC – and truly felt like a once in a lifetime kind [...]

After nearly a year of anticipation and preparation – the time has come! I flew to Denver this morning for the TransRockies Run! I have been a bundle of nerves the past few weeks. Mostly questioning my physical preparation and stressing about gear and having everything I needed. I certainly could have run more over [...]

Happy Saturday! I set my alarm early to get up for one last long-ish run before Colorado but ended up bagging it. My body felt tired and sore. I taught five sculpt/flow x lift classes this week, took one and have to take another today (job stuff). I was having a LOT of anxiety about [...]

Hello from the land of sweat. Running is (so insanely) sweaty, teaching eight heated classes a week is sweaty, being outside with Finn is sweaty – life is just sweaty here in North Carolina in the middle of July. I am looking forward to lower temps and lower humidity in Colorado but mark my words [...]

I’m in the home stretch of preparation for the TransRockies Run in August (I leave in 2.5 weeks!!!) so I spent this past weekend in the North Carolina mountains logging some training miles on the trails. Lucky for me, I was able to make this weekend a little more vaction-esque thanks to a very cute [...]

We arrived home from Florida late on Monday evening feeling very sun-kissed and very grateful. Per usual, it was a wonderful week hanging with my parents and my grandmother at the beach. And fun to get to be there for July Fourth week which is by far the busiest week of the year for the [...]

Hi friends! Long time, no blogging! I’ve been working, momming and out on the trails training. I’ve got a quick life lately for you and then we’ll switch gears and talk summer food. LIFE LATELY One month from today I will be flying out to Colorado for TransRockies. I am feeling very excited along with [...]

Hello friends. How’s summer treating you? I know it’s not technically summer until June 20 but with the kids out of school and 90 degree days, it sure feels like summer. Finn’s summer will look like a mix of babysitters and camps. I’ve also adjusted my work schedule to be home in the afternoons on [...]

It’s been happy times in my kitchen because after six years of heavy, daily use…I got a new Ninja FoodiOven! Out with the old and in with the new! I LOVE THIS THING! Okay, let’s get going on what I’ve been eating lately for breakfast and lunch. I’ll note when I used the Ninja. Note, [...]

Hi and hello my friends. I’m happily snuggled up on the couch (love to crank the air down and get under a blanket in the middle of summer) and watching the Brett Farve documentary on Netflix. So interesting and I had no idea really anything about his story other than him being an NFL legend. [...]

I had the most magical weekend in the North Carolina/Tennessee mountains on the Appalachian Trail. On Saturday I got my redemption hike at Carvers Gap and on Sunday I pushed through sore and tired legs for an awesome out and bak to Jones Falls. And in between I enjoyed the sweetest overnight at Mountain Harbor [...]

Happy Memorial Day to my American readers. May we all take time today to reflect with gratitude upon the sacrifices that so many men and women have made in service of our country. I am awed by their bravery and selflessness. My mom has been visiting for the long weekend and Finn’s seventh birthday celebration! [...]

Happy Tuesday! After many, many years of teaching 5:30 and 6a fitness classes pre-Finn, I felt pretty confident that those days were over. Well, never say never because here I am teaching at 6:10a Flow + Lift class on Tuesdays at The Health Club and loving it. It is a super sweaty, high energy start [...]

Hi friends. Life has been full lately in beautiful, hard and mundane ways. I just finished a long run and am posted up on the couch (one of my favorite weekend combos is long run + couch & tv time) so let’s catch up. MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND  Let’s backtrack to Mother’s Day weekend because a lot [...]
