A few weeks ago, I got a FitBit Flex. I'm terrible about being active on my rest days, and I'm known for barely moving off the couch some Saturdays. I'm also continuing to struggle with taking off some extra weight, and linking it with MyFitnessPal seemed like a good way to help kick start things. …

On a fairly regular basis I hear people say they'd run or workout if they had time. I've been guilty of saying it on more than one occasion. There are days, like today, when I was at work for 12 hours. I wasn't working from home, so I couldn't a quick HIIT workout between meetings, …
A year ago, while everyone else was putting in final preparations for their Super Bowl parties, I was headed to the JFK trying to comprehend the new reality that awaited me. Literally, everything I'd known had changed in the month prior, and that day I said goodbye to what I had expected to be my …
I'm trying a new weekly post focused on wellbeing. Wellbeing is the combination of your emotional, physical, and spiritual health, but from your perspective. Your personal outlook on your overall health and happiness has a significant impact on your life. This morning I got to work from home curled up in my blanket with my …

A huge group of runners literally ran through the streets of Philadelphia stopping at different tourist attractions to do push-ups, squats, burpees, and walking lunges. It was fantastic. I sweat a ton, and made …
After finally writing my WDW Marathon recap (which was pretty sad, sorry guys) I decided to take a look at the calendar. I've got 2 races coming up faster than I thought! Hurray, bring on training again 😋 Cherry Blossom 10 Miler I've got just under 11 weeks until this race. I have a big …

Sorry guys, still no WDW Marathon recap. I knew getting back into the swing of things was going to be tough, especially because this was a big week at work, but it's been a much more difficult feat than I imagined. My first day back in the office, other than a couple of restroom breaks, …
As much as I loved every single minute (okay, there were a few minutes I could have done without) of marathon weekend, writing my recap is not happening quickly. Between being exhausted, and it being a really busy week at work, I'm probably not going to complete it until this weekend. I know, bad blogger. …
As I prepare to curl up and try to get a good night of sleep before getting up at a time others in the hotel will be just coming home, I'm catching up on all of the amazing support from everyone. And, I'm sure you're not surprised, I'm tearing up. I cannot begin to describe …
