To put it in spinning terms…I’ve been on a slow steep climb up a massive mountain at work. There is a specific project that has been a year in the making and we are about to hit the peak and begin the incredibly speedy ride down. My days have been long, and my weeks even [...][...]

Down Doggin It
Sundays are my favorite days to have “me days.” There is usually some pampering, but my absolute favorite thing is exercising for multiple hours. I know that sounds strange, but I’ve gotten really good at shutting off when I am working out. I focus on the moment and whatever ridicu[...]

Lululemon Pants Rant
The disaster that is Lululemon’s sheer black yoga pants has been all over the interwebs this week. Business publications discussed their likely earnings hits…with quippy sentences like “it will hurt their bottom line” (oh you business reporters and your snarkiness). I didn[...]

Workout Out Review: Edge Yoga
I finally took the plunge on Friday and tested out a yoga studio near me–Edge Yoga. I haven’t been to a proper (I say proper, meaning it isn’t a class at Gold’s) yoga class since moving to D.C. and I really needed it. I marched myself over to Mark’s Yoga I class expecti[...]
