Happy last day of November! It was a dreary day here in North Carolina which always seems to upset my mood. With my energy completely zapped, I decided to listen to my body and my holistic doctor and take the night off from exercise. Very challenging. When I got home I was greeted by presents! […]

Keep Calm & Carry On

My only complaint about the holiday season is how quickly it passes. It seems that the months October through January move at warp speed and before I know it I’ve blinked and retailers are pushing spring clothes on my winter body—I resent this! I’ve noticed a sort of awkwardness immediately following the actual holiday (Halloween, […]

Whew! I think I’ve made up for all the laying around I did the day after Thanksgiving. My morning began with an amazing Superflow yoga class. I had a few hours to rest before running 5 miles with Kelly who was knocking out a 20 mile run! You’d better believe all that exercise wore me […]

Black Friday

November 26, 2010

aka Thanksgiving Pants Day! But I’m getting ahead of myself. Thanksgiving Day began not in Thanksgiving pants, but in running pants and with an 8k Turkey Trot.

My Non-Turkey Day Rundown

Be right back

Tonight officially begins my Thanksgiving holiday and it doesn’t end until I have to be back at work next Tuesday! To kick off the celebration I have glass-o-wine in hand and just finished a delightful dinner of dark chocolate—totally breaking from my November goals. All I can say is: go big or go home! I […]

Change For The Better: Sore Muscles

November 22, 2010

Reflecting on my various injuries throughout the years, it’s unsettling to think of the number of harsh chemicals I’ve put into my body in the name of “treatment”. I’ve mentioned many times the high hamstring injury I sustained a few years ago, but my pathetic list of injuries also includes bursitis in my hip, a […]

You Don’t Know What You’ve Got

Smile

Till it’s gone. Ain’t that the truth?! My 30th birthday is rapidly approaching and being on the cusp of a new decade has caused me to seriously soul search and reflect on my life thus far. A few weeks ago I stumbled across a box of photos that I’d not seen in several years. Most […]
