I was dealing with tendonitis in my one foot for about 2 weeks and that really limited what I could do. Now it’s feeling [...]
Running a Marathon While Pregnant Running while pregnant has been a whole new experience for me. I’ve had to think a lot more about my breathing, heartrate, and of course there is the extra weight of the baby. I’ve had to tell myself that it’s ok to run slower and really listen to my body. [...]
Training for a Race While Pregnant I signed up to run a half marathon when I was 6 weeks pregnant. I signed up, fully aware that I was already pregnant. Since I started running on a regular basis almost 3 years ago, there have been a lot of challenges and triumphs. Running during pregnancy is [...]
Healthy Avocado Yogurt Dip Recipe I eat a lot during the day. I’m definitely a grazer and eat a lot of small meals. I usually eat a small snack or two in between meals, but I find myself growing tired of the same snacks over and over. My go to snacks are usually almonds and [...]

If you’ve followed me for any period of time, you’ll know that I’m a running junkie. It’s been my outlet for the last couple of years. I always feel good after a nice long run. 7 weeks ago, I ran the Denver Rock N’ Roll Marathon. 5 days after I got home, I was in [...]
A few weeks ago I did this…. A week after that, I did this…. I’m having serious running withdrawals and can’t put much weight on my right foot for extended periods of time, so I bought this…. Amazing workout. I’m really sore and happy about it. If you [...]
This last weekend, my brother and I went to Denver to run the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. I was so nervous as my first marathon didn’t go as well as I would have liked. I felt better prepared and trained for this one and hoped that it would carry me through. I finished with a [...]
Before you go running or even wonder what Kale is, I’ll tell you that I’d never had it before a few weeks ago. After we got off vacation, my mom and I wanted to do a cleanse. We looked into a fresh fruit and veggie one. Sadly enough, I got my weight off with the [...]
Beef, It’s What’s For Dinner I’m a meat and potatoes type of girl. I grew up in Idaho where it seemed like so many of our meals revolved around meat, specifically beef, and potatoes. To this day I still love meat. I absolutely love a good burger or steak. However, over the years I’ve become [...]
This next month is going to beyond crazy. My husband has a few business trips, I am going to Blogher in NYC, we are heading to Disney for 8 days, then up to a cabin with family for another 3. School starts in the midst there. My husband told me he’s going to be in [...]
This year was the first year that my city hosted a glow in the dark half marathon. One of the fire fighters put it on to raise some money. My sister Avry and I decided that we wanted to run it a few months back and signed up. The day of, we had a barbecue [...]
Sometimes I feel a bit crazy for signing up to run another marathon. I am running the Rock N’ Roll marathon in Denver in September. My brother will be running it with me, and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s about a 7 hour drive from where we live, but he’s run a Rock N’ [...]
Real Dried Fruit From Dole I’m always on the lookout for great snacks that the whole family will love, but that are convenient and we can eat on the run. Because it is summer, this is especially important. I always have snacks and water for the boys whether we are at the park, pool or [...]

Although I’m a bit of a health and fitness nut, I am tempted by certain foods and drink. My drink of choice when I indulge is soda. There was a point a year or so ago when I was working two graves a week. I wasn’t getting enough sleep and I had to stay awake [...]
Meeting My Goals Back in January, I set out on a quest with Slim-Fast as one of their women of wow. My goal was to lose some weight and also meet a time goal for a half marathon, which was 2 hours. I’ve had two kids and was about 135 lbs before I got [...]

I ran a half marathon yesterday. I felt great until mile 12. There was a hill. I wanted to die. But I didn’t. There were a few of these quotes that I had pinned and I couldn’t help but cycle a few of them through my head while I was running. I ended up finishing [...]
I’ve been cooking more and more with quinoa since it is such a great whole grain with protein. I decided to use it in a Quiche recipe. It turned out absolutely fabulous. To be quite honest, my picky boys didn’t love it, but they ate it anyways as it was what we had for dinner. [...]

Part of being able to protect your children is being educated and informed. RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is one that can be particularly threatening to [...]
Milestones This last month on the Slim-Fast plan has been an invigorating one for me. I’ve had some days that I have struggled, but for the most part I have stuck to the plan which I am so incredibly proud of. What’s amazing to me is that Slim-Fast is helping me to reach my goals [...]
