Nike Women’s Half Marathon DC 2014 Weekend

April 28, 2014

Number 14 was a complete success! Two Hours . Nine Seconds. The elusive sub 2 hour is still out there, but it’s a PR none the less I learned a lot about my running ability this past weekend and I also had a complete blast! My dad came down for the weekend and I […]

Giving Up on Superfoods

April 24, 2014

Kale. Avocadoes. Goji Berries. Chia Seeds Quinoa. These foods are hot trends because at one time someone dubbed them a superfood. What exactly is a superfood? Does it impart super human powers? Give us spidey senses? Help us fly? Unfortunately there is no medical definition but Google states that a superfood is “a nutrient-rich food […]

We Carry On

April 18, 2014

I can’t help but think “How appropriate that the weekend before the Boston marathon is also Easter weekend “– an entire weekend to reflect on renewal and new life. Even if you’re not religious, you can see how the season of spring shows us this by allowing our surroundings to slowly renew themselves into bright […]

Feta Asparagus Salad

April 16, 2014

When I think spring produce, I think asparagus. My mom didn’t really make this much when I was a kid, but once we discovered how delicious it is steamed, it became a regular. Steamed, roasted, sautéed, and grilled. Doesn’t matter. Just don’t give it to me canned. PLEASE. The idea for this salad came when […]

Spring Fitness Favorites

March 31, 2014

At the turn of every season, I’m always looking at fashion. Not the typical fashion you may think. Others may be dreaming of days with sandals, maxi dresses, and light weight trench coats. While I love all of that, I’m usually daydreaming of running shorts, sports sunglasses, and cute yoga tanks. Warm weather, please stay! […]

Favorite Things: Meditation Edition

March 26, 2014

Starting on this 40 day meditation challenge was really like starting any healthy habit. I had to decide when to start. How long I wanted to do it for. Find a place to meditate. Then begin. It was awkward in the beginning. Even though we practiced meditation during my yoga teacher training and I’ve done […]

Food From Around the Web

March 10, 2014

Happy daylight savings! If you feel all goofed up, feel free to blame the time change. I have been. I can deal with “fall” back, but I don’t “spring” forward. It’s more like I drag forward. But at least we get a little bit more sunshine in the evenings = more time for evening running!!! […]
