Wellness is a journey
I’ll keep this post short and sweet. I was advised to not run for 3 months! I can’t remember my last run, it was either at the end of June or beginning of July. Since July 4, I’ve been experiencing chest pain. I saw a few doctors. GI was ruled out (doctors initially thought it […] Read more…
In 2018, I ran the Alpharetta Women‘s 5k while 25 weeks pregnant (you can read the recap here). This year, I ran their half marathon at 8 months postpartum!

Welcome to October (where is the cooler weather?)! The summer flew by for me, maybe it’s because I had to deal with my beautiful 2 year old’s new activities and the first trimester of pregnancy. I have been taking long breaks from social media and blogging because I’m still sick and still very tired but I […] Read more…
