Happy Friday, y’all! I don’t know about you but this week has felt LONGGGGG! I’m so glad it’s Friday and I’m ready for the long weekend. It’s supposed to be a rainy one, but I have my fingers crossed that the rain will stop before my long run on Sunday. Here are the five things […]
Why you Should Consider Group Exercise
Editors note: I am away on a beach enjoying sun and sand and Elizabeth graciously agreed to help keep you all company while I’m gone. Thanks Elizabeth! A popular question for people who exercise is, “what do you prefer, working out alone or working out with others?” I used to love my workout time spent […]
Cross Training at Barre 3
As you’ve heard me mention before, I’ve been doing some cross training at Barre 3 in Georgetown and I’ve really enjoyed it. Some of you may be wondering, “what is barre?” Here’s what Barre 3 says about that: Barre3 evolves the dancer’s workout by combining the grace of the ballet barre with the wisdom of […]
What’s Beautiful?
What’s beautiful to you? Everyone’s definition of beautiful is different. Some people focus on aesthetics. Some focus on the things that can not be seen as easily.

Last week, I skipped the track workout and I can actually say I kind of missed it. This week I was excited / nervous to head back out for some speed work in the middle of the crazy heat wave we’ve been experiencing. On a positive note, speed work starts at 0 dark 30 (actually 5:45 […]

After doing a fun Pilates workout Tuesday morning, I came home after work and did this bad boy while waiting for dinner to finish cooking. It was the perfect after work workout […]

So this entire post is speculation. 🙂 However, I have lots of friends who have babies, some friends who are currently pregnant and friends who want to get pregnant so I have a decent understanding of what the process entails 🙂 * As I’ve started my […]
Weekend Workouts
What are your weekend workout plans? I typically do my longest run of the week on the weekends, like most people. Unlike my weekday routine where I’m now trained to wake up early and run first thing in the morning, sometimes on the weekend I just can’t force myself out of bed at 6am. Or […]
Breaking the Streak
I just recently registered for a marathon. My very first. I am absolutely terrified. I’ve been running everyday with a couple of 10ks thrown in and my body has started to feel it. Each run over the past week was filled with painful steps and my shins would literally throb with pain. I’ve been icing and […]
