As you all may remember, a little over two weeks ago I rolled my ankle on an acorn/pinecone/who knows what on my long run. Pretty much we all can agree it was probably not my smartest choice to continue running another 5 miles after I pulled something in my foot on mile 3. I was … Continue reading

5 Ways to Stay Healthy, Even at Your Busiest
I feel like I say this every time I’ve written lately, but life has gotten really busy.

A Little of This, A Little of That…

I decided on … Continue reading

Confession Time: Why the Scale Sucks
Today I’m linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons and her Thinking out Loud link-up!
