Definition: The act of tweeting while jogging. Because you have no running buddy and need to complain and / or boast to someone. And because you need something to do on your walking breaks. Really. I did puke in my mouth. Twice. It was disgusting. But I deserved it for running at 5 PM in [...]

I feel like I went all over Charlotte this morning! First, I headed to Starbucks for a meeting with Girls on the Run – they’re expanding their social media efforts and wanted some feedback (GOTR is a character development after-school program for elementary school girls). Speaking of GOTR, how are my fellow coaches doing? The [...]
I am really excited to publish this guest post from Gabby, who was inspired to write about “how our society positions athleticism and femininity as two sides of a spectrum (or even two opposite constructs) when, in [her] opinion, is a completely false dichotomy.†I recently came across an article discussing how the female athlete [...]
My Tsunami suit has arrived! I bought this suit from Splish and was so pumped when it arrived in the mail. It’s a nice quality (thick lining and the stitching is sturdy). I wasn’t sure what size to get based on their size chart so I ordered two suits – one in a 34 [...]
“How fast did you finish?†“Did you beat your personal record?†“Man, my mile splits were so much slower than normal!†Look, it’s pretty easy to get wrapped up in time-based race goals. Time is quantifiable and simple to compare. And it’s really, really fun when your times go down! I’ll never forget how great [...]
What I’m eating: More panang curry from Trader Joe’s. So. Freaking. Delicious. What I’m reading: (Source) A review copy of Jenna / Eat Live Run’s new memoir, White Jacket Required. It’s good! What I’m watching: (Source) The Walking Dead. Zoooombies! We’re on Season 2, and it’s scary. I want to be a zombie [...]
Problem with eating meals on the kitchen floor – thieves try to steal your carrots! Gasp! I had a not-so-fun doctor’s appointment really early this morning (to do this; will blog more about it down the road), ran some errands, and came home to crash. Henry and I napped for a good three hours. It [...]
I’m thinking about restarting my GymPact membership – I turned it off the last week of my pregnancy but, since I’m hitting up the gym regularly again, it’s time to ‘pact again. After all, when I was checking in with GymPact every week, I earned about $40 over a few months. Sweeeeet. As I wrote [...]
SOOOOO thankful I just backed up my iPhone. Because I found it in the bottom of the dryer. Whoops. At least it’s really, really clean now. And smells really, really good. On a brighter note, I was browsing blogs this morning (on my iPhone… when it still worked) and found this delicious recipe from [...]
Just a minute to chat before H wakes up from his nap and wants to play. Lunch! I’m lovin’ the combo of Dr. Praeger’s veggie burger and BBQ sauce. Balance – chips 'n kale. So, for some reason, I end up eating many of my meals on my kitchen floor. Too lazy to [...]
So, just about a hundred people have sent me a link to the hysterical site called Dog Shaming. And every email said, ‘Maggie needs to be on this site.’ Oh, she does. But truthfully, so does James – he just flies under the radar of general ridiculousness while M soars above it. So if [...]
Featuring…. raw baby zucchini. Yum. As well as cast iron tofu, sunflower seeds, corn, carrots, and greens. It a windy and cool night. I think this calls for some serious couch time. Good night, sleep tight!
After Saturday’s triathlon, I was riding high. I was SO ridiculously proud of myself and felt on top of the world. My plan was to come home, eat a hearty lunch, and take a long nap. Unfortunately, sleep never really happened. The Husband needed to run some errands, and Henry wanted to play. I didn’t [...]
Did you catch my sprint triathlon recap? Here you go! I’m alive. Barely. I’m feeling a bit under the weather, unfortunately. The Hus took over almost all the babycare duties last night so I could get as much shut-eye as possible (I firmly believe that sleep can cure – or at least alleviate – [...]
