Another summer weekend in the books. Mine was filled with family time, baby showers, a 30th birthday fiesta, year old’s b-day extravaganza and a fantasy football draft (translation many pumpkin flavored beers and oso many cheeseburgers) . In addition to that, I had a 5.5 mile run and 2 strength training workouts, some fun financial
KC and I had our fated rematch last week. The two of us and 6,000 other runners took to the smoggy streets of Manchester, NH to see who was the fastest. Answer is? Not KC or I! It is crazy how fast people are. It blows my mind! Stretching for the race, getting my Spotify
This past weekend I participated in my very first obstacle course style race. I never had really wanted to because I felt like the obstacles would get in the way of running- which is what I like to do. But, after falling in love with strength training and some classes at the gym I decided
Recipe: 1 Tbs MCT Lean Oil 1 Package MCT Lean Chocolate Vegan Protein Blend 1.5 cups of coffee (cause that’s how I roll at 5:45 AM) 3/4 c frozen raspberries 1/2 c coconut milk Add in a blender, blend. I didn’t add ice as I did not want to water down my coffee. I added berries

I had been on a smoothie kick for months and months and got kind of smoothied out, cause that’s a thing. This morning, after a weekend of many beers and a dinner of many tacos, I woke up and was legit craving a smoothie. My liver was in need of something that was non-alcoholic, but
As a true New Englander, I am able to complain about every season. Fall is beautiful, but filled with tourists and leaf peepers, Winter is cold, short days and and terrible driving, Spring is unpredictable, often cold and too muddy and Summer is far too hot and humid… This Summer has been rough. I started
Welp, I have been a terrible blogger. And there is no good reason… well there is one EXCITING reason… I am getting married!! Yes, that’s right, ladies and gentleman of the internet. KC has put a ring on it! We will no longer be living in sin, sullying the good name of my Catholic father.
I live in a rural NH town. My runs are filled with beautiful vistas, cows, horses and fresh air. There have been runs when I see no one, not even a car. It is glorious. There are negatives to small town running. Road kill and bugs frequent my runs. Nothing like having to dodge dead
I was pumped to get in a long run. I woke up at 6AM on Saturday, I was so excited (and maybe because Sadie woke me up). The sun was shining, I had an updated playlist, vitamin water, and a great running outfit. I was sore from my strength training workout the day before, but
