Today is officially two months until my scheduled marathon on June 4 in San Diego. In a perfect world, I’d be doing a lot of speed work right now in an effort to get my marathon time under 4 hours. Instead, I’m working my way back to 30 minutes of consistent running. I’m… Continue reading Two Months Until Marathon

Elixirs for Beginners
Have you tapped into the power of elixirs yet? If not, consider adding it to your to-do list, and your grocery list, too! Much like kombucha took off a few years ago (I’m a huge fan- My personal favorite is Health Aid Pomegranate), elixirs are making their way into more and more people’s homes and… Continue reading Elixirs for Beginners
March Goals
March 1st is here and that means it’s time to set monthly goals! As I’ve mentioned before, I love doing this. I think it’s a great way to challenge yourself and make small changes that help you achieve long-term goals. Every month, I try to focus on a few small steps to make life a little better.… Continue reading March Goals
Cutting Calories While Injured
I’m not sure what’s worse- being injured or cutting calories while injured. As someone who loves food, it’s a total tossup. As I mentioned last week, I’m currently nursing a stress fracture I got while training for my upcoming marathon in June. Fortunately, I can still do some physical activity, like spin and strengthen… Continue reading Cutting Calories While Injured

InstaPhysique in Sacramento is a straight up amazing workout. For those who haven’t been to their beautiful studio on Fair Oaks Blvd in Arden-Arcade, you have to try it out.

Stress Fracture
Those words every runner hates to hear… You have a stress fracture. I heard them yesterday. Not exactly the Valentine’s Day gift I was looking for. And although I wasn’t happy to hear it, I wasn’t surprised either. I’ve had leg pain for about two weeks now. Pain that made is really difficult to… Continue reading Stress Fracture
Foam Roller for Runners
Make the foam roller your best friend and you’ll be happy in the long run. I know it’s a lot to ask. You’re done with your run, you do the basic stretches, and then you have to get onto the next thing. But besides running consistently, I think one of the best think you… Continue reading Foam Roller for Runners
February Goals
Helloooo February!! And with that comes February goals! I love setting monthly goals. I’m a big fan of figuring out what I want to accomplish, and then identifying the mini-steps to get there. At the beginning of 2017, I laid out my three goals for the year. While I’m still chipping away at the ones… Continue reading February Goals
Strava
Have you tried Strava? I set up a profile and I’m not sure I totally get it yet, but I’m a little obsessed with figuring it out. So, for those not familiar, Strava is basically a Facebook/Instagram for active people. It’s a website/app that tracks your athletic activity via GPS. You can start an account… Continue reading Strava
Running plantronics bluetooth headphones | A Review
I recently bought a pair of Bluetooth headphones and they have totally changed my relationship with running. I know it sounds dramatic, but hear me out. Like most people, I have been running with wired headphone forever. Sure, they have evolved, but despite the improvements, I could never get them to comfortably sit… Continue reading Running plantronics bluetooth headphones | A Review
