Wellness is a journey
Our family is growing! We are so happy to announce baby #2 is on the way! I’m 14.5 weeks pregnant and look like I’m 16+ weeks (HA)! Finally, I can be open about my struggles the past couple of months with my body. This pregnancy has been a bit tough with sickness and fatigue since the […] Read more…
Better late than never, here are my Awesomesauce and Five Star NTP race experiences from Memorial Day weekend. I hope everyone has enjoyed their 4th of July holiday. I’ve been busy and sick so this post comes a bit…late! As a military brat and former Navy Officer in the Reserves, my thoughts are with all […] Read more…
What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than to run a half marathon! On Wednesday, I signed up for the 13.1 mile race. I drag my husband and daughter to all of my races so on Sunday morning, I woke my husband up at 5:30am, excited and ready to go! He requested that I find […] Read more…
The last few weeks have been a bit rough on my body. Mid April, knee pain kept me from running and BJJ. At the end of the month, I ran 10 miles to get back into the groove! After that run, I decided I was going to create a May Madness Running Plan and run […] Read more…

With a few days to spare, I met my goal of running 500 miles this year. It wasn’t easy. I know many runners run A LOT more than 500 miles yearly so this may not be impressive to most. As a new runner who started my running journey in January (it took me until May […] Read more…
On Monday, I woke up to great news that I was selected to be part of the 2018 Nuun Ambassador team! I have been using Nuun products since training for the Area 13.1 half marathon in May. It came highly recommended from a sale associate at my favorite running store. My stomach could not handle […] Read more…
The Atlanta Jingle Bell Jog 5K came 10 days after the Turkey Trot 10K! I managed to PR even though my main focus was to have fun. Can you think of a more beautiful sight than 100s of Santa Clauses running the streets of Atlanta? Yes, you probably can but I bet it won’t make […] Read more…
Raise your hand if you thought stroller running would be a breeze! Oh, just me? Running with a stroller is tough but moms & dads will do what we need to do to get those miles in. I always give a smile & nod when I pass runners pushing a stroller because I know the […] Read more…
