Exhaustion Set In
A few weeks ago, I wrote about seeing my exhaustion warning signs. I don’t think I realized how exhausted I was until the GW Parkway 10 miler. My body just didn’t feel right. It wasn’t from lack of training, but more from lack of resting. I was in essence “spent.” A [...]
Cherry Blossom Yoga
If you could do anything on a cloudless April morning, what would it be? This past Saturday is was practicing yoga underneath cherry blossoms and the Washington Monument. Doing yoga on a hill–lead by Alison Adams, of DownDog Yoga, accompanied by a live Bluebrain performance–was pret[...]

Isn’t Everyone Exhausted?
On a typical day my alarm goes off at or around 6:30 a.m and I am in bed around 11:00 p.m. In between that time I am exercising, working, running errands, making dinner, making plans, doing laundry…the list is endless. And my weekends are not really filled with days of sleeping in, even if I [[...]
Traveling Sets Me Back
When I go to NYC for work, I usually chalk that week up to a wash on my healthy routines. I don’t sleep that well in the hotel room, I tend to miss exercising, and I eat pretty much every meal out. After almost 10 months of making the bi-monthly commute I’ve been trying to [...][...]

The American Council of Exercise recently released a study that concluded that kettlebells provide a much higher-intensity workout than standard weight-training routines and offer superior results in a short amount of time. When I started working out with trainers I was introduced to kettlebells an[...]

Second Breakfast?
I’ll admit it, there are days that I eat my breakfast and less than two hours later my stomach is rumbling. Usually this is when I work out really hard or I am up really early in the morning. Apparently I am not alone though. More on-the-go Americans are consuming their morning calories over s[...]
Losing My Running Skirt Virginity
We have a winner, and that winner is CARMEN!!! Using random.org Carmen was selected to receive a running skirt to test out. Here’s a confession for you. In the height of NYC and DC summers I am a frequent visitor of the baby product aisle, purchasing Desitin like a baby who can’t get[...]

The Scale Isn’t the End All Be All
I’ve been struggling to get my weight back down to where I want it to be since the wedding. Unfortunately, no matter what I do that number on the scale just won’t budge. I was a religious morning scale person. Every morning my day started with stepping on the scale, recording the number [...]
