… Also known as – how not to crash and burn! Many runners – newbies or vets – struggle with pacing. It’s far too easy to come out fast and blow all your energy at the beginning of a run (or race). Trust me – I’ve done it numerous times (pacing can be a hard [...]

Excuse the delay – we were out office hunting again! Today, we found some potential spaces. Keeping my fingers crossed. The Holistic Wellness Center needs a new home. The Hus was in charge of breakfast – and you guys know what that means! Kale on the side. He loves his greens. Also – over-easy [...]
Caught in the act! Lovers giving each other little puppy kisses. Specifically, James licking the inside of Maggie’s ear. They literally lay on the rug and make out with each other. Bow chicka bow wow. Beyond spying on the dogs, today was consumed with more (unsuccessful) office hunting, a little writing, and a whole [...]
A few weeks ago, the Husband and I went out to lunch to celebrate a business milestone. After one year of being open in Charlotte, the Holistic Wellness Center is successful enough that we can now justify moving into larger, more permanent office space! I’m so proud of the Hus.

I know this is so clichéd to say – but really. Where the heck did September go? One day, it was here, and the next (well, a day ago, to be exact) it was gone! Most Fabulous Race Recap: Ramblin’ Rose Sprint Triathlon <— because it was my first POOL tri and my last [...]
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again – I am not a fan of the dreadmill treadmill. As someone who is very used to running outside, it seems like slow torture to be stuck on a treadmill inside a gym. There’s only one thing that makes it bearable – an interval workout. [...]
I actually consider it an accomplishment that my bike only sat in the trunk for one week following my last triathlon… I needed to make way for my suitcase! Yup – on the road in the air again. This time to Detroit to give an Operation Beautiful presentation to a group of teenagers in [...]
It is chilly but sunny in Charlotte today. One of those days that you’re just grateful to be alive and surrounded by the friends, family, furballs that you love so much. Over the past year, I’ve made an effort to practice daily gratitude for the people and things in my life that I love [...]
