November 5, 2017 { 7 comments }Hi and happy start to a new week! How did the time change treat you guys?

Boston Strong + Running Wishes + Weekly Workouts + Playlist
April 17, 2017 { 24 comments }It’s Marathon Monday! I was watching a video of the elite women taking off at the starting line and I thought to myself, “I’m pretty sure that’s what I think I look like taking off for a 5K.” I can’t even imagine going out of the gate like that for a marathon. Incredible athleticism and [...]

April 4, 2017 { 6 comments }Good morning. My 6 a.m. yoga class was sloooooowwww this morning.

Back to Meal Planning + Last Week’s Workouts
December 11, 2016 { 4 comments }I am back in Charlotte and it felt like a giant exhale to walk into my front door this afternoon. Being away, especially in times of grief/pain, definitely gives you a renewed appreciation for not only life but all the small things in life we have to be grateful for. I am really looking forward [...]

Weekly Workouts: Back to Ashtanga + Last BodyPump Class
January 19, 2014 { 12 comments }Time for the weekly workout recap. This is a new weekly series that I’ve started in the last couple of months.
