Finding Joy in the Journey
It's been awhile friends! Most of you know the reasoning...that we've moved out of Pennsylvania and into a new home and life in North Carolina. Many of you also know that this move was full of questions for me. I had no idea what the future would look like and what we'd find here. Let... Continue Reading →
As some of you may have seen through my social statuses, I have teamed up with Run for Hope to raise money for New Hope Academy during the St. Jude Nashville Half Marathon in April. With my registration, I made a donation to St. Jude, and now, I'm going above and beyond to raise money... Continue Reading →
Just wanted to send a quick Happy Holidays message to my readers across the world! May you spend time reflecting and enjoying life with family, and may the New Year bring you blessings and joy! I like to use the Christmas season as a time to reflect and to look into what's coming. For our... Continue Reading →
I can't say I remember the very first time I walked into a gym. I say that because my relationship with the gym began as a complicated series of ups and downs that began in high school. I'd go for a little while. Use the elliptical in the dark theater room where no one could... Continue Reading →

Sometimes decisions are just hard. There's no other way to put it. Many of you have probably noticed that my blog has been a little - okay a lot - less active than usual. It has a lot to do with decisions! Sometimes things come up that aren't expected. We've been going through a lot... Continue Reading →

With that in mind, I was excited to try out Vega Sport's Recovery Protein. Given that I already use... Continue Reading →
If you're like me, you're pretty picky about your running apparel. You've seen it in my reviews, and you've probably seen my pictures...my running gear is pretty specific; if something doesn't fit my routine, I'm pretty unlikely to try it out. This is problematic in winter and this unusually cool spring weather. Why? You might... Continue Reading →
Here's the thing. When you travel for races, which I enjoy doing, one of the most stressful aspects of the process is packing properly. Even though I've never gone somewhere that essentials would be impossible to pick up or find on the road, there's a certain comfort to using things you've broken in. As a... Continue Reading →
Call it an avocado kick. But, lately I've been pretty obsessed with them (but you already know this). Packed full of nutrients and healthy fats, they're a staple of many healthy diets. So, I decided to try something new again. It's been gorgeous outside here. After a crazy long, cold winter, we've been putting the... Continue Reading →
