Wellness is a journey

Atlanta Track Club’s PNC 10 miler & 5K has been on my radar for years. 10 mile events are hard to find around here but being 23 weeks pregnant, I decided to sign up for the 5K and watched in envy as the 10 mile runners kicked off the race WHAT I WORE: With temps […] Read more…
Last night, I ran the Mayor’s Challenge 5K race downtown in Alpharetta, GA at the City Hall. First of all, I have never raced on a Thursday! Second, I didn’t expect it to be as big of race that it ended up being. It was sold out! Parking was tricky (non existent) at City Hall […] 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…
