I try super hard not to be one of those people that talks or posts excessively about CrossFit, because I get it, very few people actually care about how much you can front squat. (Currently only 140 lbs., but I’m working on it; thanks for asking!) But unfortunately, when you do something a lot and […]
Generally when I do race recaps, I try to include my mile time splits or some review of the method to my madness on how I ran the race…This time though, my Nike+ tracking did not track my splits properly, and I literally had zero plan for running the race. So instead, this recap is […]
Let’s be honest, there are two major reasons why I run: 1. The more you run, the more you can eat carbs, ice cream and Oreos without turning into a whale. 2. If you do said running in the form of a race, you get some really awesome medals! I love the medals that I’ve […]

In the United States, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer approximately every three minutes and the need for financial assistance is huge! This week, I’m asking each of my […]
After yesterday, I can finally check “run a half-marathon” off my lifelong to-do list!! I don’t know what took me this long to finally do one; it was so much fun, and I’m already really looking forward to my next one! (Tentatively the Sunshine State Half Marathon on January 17th.) Here’s my recap from the […]
