I cannot believe another month has gone by! I've almost been in Birmingham for 6 months, been single for 5, and been blogging for 4. Completely crazy! The first 5 months of the year were filled with change, some good, some that felt bad, but really were good, and I'm excited for what is in …

Haha, you totally thought you were getting something else in this post, didn't you?! Admit it. It's okay 😉 But in all seriousness, I am attempting my first Runner's World Summer Run Streak. Karen, over at Cinderella's Running Shoes started a Challenge Loop so we can stay on track and motivate each other. I'm all …

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 …
As I mentioned in my post earlier this week, my job reaches a point of pure ridiculousness this time every year. Yesterday, I was exhausted from two days of long meetings, 2 long drives, and just from being so focused for too many days in a row. Due to an early meeting hasn't been able …
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 …

After the second or third time in a week getting lightheaded and dizzy combined with exhaustion, a few lovely running friends suggested I might be anemic. I don't eat much meat, and have been skipping my usual mixed green salads at lunch recently, so this was probably spot on. *Disclaimer: None of us are doctors, …

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 …
