I mentioned it on Monday, but this past weekend I ran (and walked…there was a lot of walking) a 5K. This was the 3rd annual 5K on the Runway right by where I work, so I was excited that I finally was able to participate (the first year, my doctor hadn’t released me from my…

#1MillionMinutes: Week 1
Greetings! Hope your week is off to a good start. Recently I became a Sweat Pink Ambassador with Fit Approach, and from June 21 until August 21, we’re doing #1MillionMinutes. If it isn’t obvious, the community’s goal is to accumulate 1 million minutes of activity—be it running, cycling, walking, lifting, interval training, yoga, you name…
National Running Day 2015
Good morning to you! Not only is today Hump Day—it’s National Running Day. Last year I shared with you why I run, but this year I thought I would share something fun. Since my last 5K, I haven’t done much running. I’m sure some of you dedicated folks can tough it out, but to me,…
National Stroller Running Day 2015
Short notice here—babies make for busy mommies!—but today I wanted to pop in and share a really cool event that’s coming up on Sunday, May 31: Stroller Running Day! I don’t know about you other moms, but in my early postpartum days, nothing felt better than getting outside for a stroll. Whether it was for…
Scenes from the Weekend + Meal Plan Monday
Happy Monday! I hope everybody had as lovely a weekend as we did. The weather was absolutely perfect, and a good bit of our time was spent outdoors (fighting off the giant Alabama mosquitoes, but outside nonetheless). Saturday morning we woke up bright and early so I could run the Lions Club Tunnel Vision 5K….
That Time I Ran My First 10K
Wow—this weekend flew by! At least it was a good one—with perfect, sunny weather and surviving my first 10K. ☺ Early Saturday morning, Mark and Baby M watched me complete my longest run to date (and first competitive run since last April when I was in my first trimester!) downtown in the Azalea Trail Run….
Why run? {National Running Day 2014}
In honor of National Running Day, I thought I’d talk about—you guessed it—running. Side note: it’s also National Cheese Day, and while I could fill post after post waxing poetic about the heavenly glory that is cheese (sorry vegans and lactose-intolerant peeps), I figured a running post fit more into the whole “healthy living” corner…
Weekly Links 04.13.14
Hello, there. I hope everybody is having a fabulous, relaxing Sunday. We’ve had a great weekend; my in-laws arrived Friday night and left this afternoon after a delicious lunch at Ed’s Seafood Shed. Saturday morning I ran the 8K By The Bay, my first-ever 8K. The fog lifted just before the race started at 8:00, and while…
Weekly Links 04.06.14
Hi, there! I can’t believe it’s already Sunday; this weekend was a lot of fun, but it was also pretty exhausting. Friday night we went to the school for an alumni happy hour for my husband’s fraternity, and Saturday morning, plenty early but not so bright, I ran the Run of the Hill 5K on…
An Update On My Bikram Practice
Hello there! Now that I finally posted the Miele spaghetti and meatballs recipe for you all, I realize my fitness conversation has been lacking, too. This is possibly due to my increased consumption of beer and television, but more likely due to my general apathy toward exercise, except for my beloved yoga. (Oh, and my…
