I am a big believer in treating your body well, both in what you put in it and do to keep it in good working order, but also giving back to it. For this reason, I try to get massages every few months, and if I'm training, more often. I've done really high-end massages, like …

Please pardon the interruption
I've been eerily quiet both on my blog and Twitter this week, and I feel like I need to explain. It's kind of true, but only at work. As I've mentioned before my job can be really crazy, and for the next couple of weeks, it will live up to that: - My next 3 …
Time flies! And other things old people like me say
Ten years ago I graduated from college. Wait, what?! Here's a little reminder of what life was like back then: Napster had been sued by major record labels, shut down, and attempted to return as a legitimate site. Strangely, no one wanted to pay them for music when they were used to getting it for …

Therapy Thursday: Finding a way to give back
As I've mentioned before, my job is a bit crazy. I travel a lot, I often work very late and weekends are not out of bounds. Not having a normal schedule has always kept me from volunteering as often as I'd like. I can't easily make a commitment to do something regularly because I could …

My life was a series of diets and finally a focus on being healthy
I remember my first diet like it was yesterday: I was 8 and during my annual school physical my bloodwork came back and I had high cholesterol. My family had always been a red meat, butter and milk kind of family, with doughnuts or coffee cake after church every Sunday with my grandparents. This had …

Therapy Thursday: Put on running shoes, Garmin, headphones, leave brain at home
It's been a few weeks since I did a Therapy Thursday, but they always help me, so I brought them back. This week has been my best running week in a long time. I've PR'd my 2 mile run twice this week, including this morning when I felt heavy and congested. I ran with no …

This is what Happy looks like
Today I was that annoying person who is way too happy. I had no out of the ordinary reason to be so happy, the stars just aligned to make it happen. To start I slept in this amazing room at the Union Station Hotel in Nashville. It's an old train station converted into a boutique …
My own DietBet, weight loss and running speed, and my first giveaway!!!
If you remember, in March/April I completed my first DietBet. I am really proud of the changes I was able to make, and even more proud of the resulting changes to my body. Sadly, I joined another one against my better judgement knowing I was only 2 weeks from my half-marathon, and calorie counting was …

I’m not sure I’m that interesting…
Any moment I'm expecting the sky to fall on top of me, wait no, I'm expecting my apartment building to collapse on top of me. Why, you ask? Because life is really good right now. I assume things cannot continue to go this well, its a character flaw. So what's been going so well? On …
It’s May already? Well then, time for some new goals!
I cannot believe April went by so quickly. I feel like it was just March, and before I know it, it will be time to start Christmas shopping. Not cool, time, not cool. Image from Contagious Commentary I kept my April goals minimal, and because of that, was successful! It's nice to be able to …
