My Year of Running

In 2021 I ran way less than I planned to and way more than I wanted to. Circumstances and situations; some avoidable and others completely out of my control took the wheel and for sanity's sake I just rolled with it. I got miles in when I could, I trained for an ran a 10 …

December Musings

Hey y'all, it's December 22nd. For those of us that celebrate Christmas, we are in the "home stretch", the bottom of the 9th, or at the goal line on 4th down with 5 seconds on the clock. (I only deal in sports metaphors, in case you were wondering. ) Bottom line, it's crunch time to …

A New Challenge is Coming!

Normally I throw down fitness challenges but this time around I'm going a different route. If 2020 and 2021 have shown us anything, it's that our mental and emotional health is as important as how long we can hold a plank or how many Burpees we can do in a minute. So this year it's …

Getting Roasted

I love vegetables and simply ADORE roasted vegetables.  The crispy outer bits and the soft, sweet insides are so flavorful that you don’t need a lot of oil or seasoning to achieve perfection.  But full disclosure – it can’t hurt! One of the main players in a good pan of roasted vegetables is high heat.  …
