Jan Week 1 is over! Did everyone stick to their goals for the first week of the new year? Getting started is always the hardest, but once you get into a routine, it should come more naturally. To kick off my new year goal of consistently working out, I started Beachbody’s Core de Force program. Here…
I started my running journey 2 years ago when I entered into the lottery for Nike Women’s Half in DC. I secretly hoped I wouldn’t get in because I was nervous, I had never been a runner and starting at 24 seemed a bit too late. When I did get in, I thought, well, better…
Alright, folks. It’s a new year! You get a clean slate, a fresh start, to make better life choices. I’m starting my year out in my happy place: the kitchen! My fiancé and I are getting married in 22 months (!!!) and we are making the conscious effort to eat cleaner and exercise so we…
It’s TURKEY DAY!!! You know what that means.. copious amounts of food, drink, and pie! This morning I got up and got moving before the day’s festivities. Taking an hour to myself to do yoga made me feel good about the day to come. It also allowed for a moment of peace before our home starts…
Staying hydrated is key to keeping our cravings in check. Before reaching for that second piece of pie or that bag of chips, try chugging a glass of water.

Two awesome races happened to fall on the same day this year so Sirrah and I split races to give you amazing readers TWO fun races to read about. She and her boyfriend Ryan ran NYRR Dash to the Finish while my fiancé , Jeremy, and I ran HoBOOken. Dash to the Finish started at 8am,…
My fiance and I are terrible about consistently eating breakfast and we don’t have time to make something before work. I am lucky to have a cafe in my office building that allows me to make healthy breakfast choices’ however, he is not so lucky and will often grab something that is calorie and carb loaded.…
I fell off the wagon.. I haven’t been running and I certainly have not been blogging about running. Between the NYC Half in March and the Queens 10K in June, I only ran a handful of times. In fact, I was suppose to write the post about the NYC Half (which was fantastic, by the way,…
Jelly Belly’s jelly beans are great! Watermelon is my favorite flavor so when I found out that Jelly Belly made a watermelon flavored endurance nutrition, I thought I had found my new go-to. Wrong, wrong, WRONG. The flavor was sickly sweet and had a weird, slightly bitter, aftertaste, possibly due to the added caffeine, vitamins and electrolytes. The portion…
Katie, my work wife, introduced me to Nuun while I was on my death bed at the office from one too many the night prior. All the greasy bacon in the world was not curing me of feeling like I was hit by several trucks and then thrown off a cliff. All you need to…
