This is the first of many posts on the amazing trip to Napa Christine from We Run Disney and I just experienced. The Why I'm not sure this even needs to be said, but a trip to Napa to run with a friend was the perfect excuse to plan a vacation. Napa in late June …

I made it 7 hours into the just water day, and caved. I was exhausted, took a 2 hour nap, had 8 glasses of water before 2 PM, and was unproductive in every way. Melinda and I both decided such a dramatic change was not going to work for us. It is something I would …
After months of craziness, my nutrition and healthy eating has been hit hard. I will do fine for part of the day, and then fall apart. When Bobbi reached out to past Shredders about another Summer Shred, I knew I needed in, and what I needed to do. GPP Reset. And I convinced my friend …

As I sit watching 3 men pack up my life to put it on a truck and I'll see it in 3 weeks, I'm thinking back on all of the things I've learned through moving since I left for college 15 years ago. 1) I hoard pens. I have no idea why so many pens …
