Anxiety Overload
It’s the day before Halloween and all is not calm nor bright. I have to finish planning a big shindig party for the kids, plan my “superhero” costume for Red Ribbon Week, and finish my door decoration ...
Mozzarella Omelet with Sage
The weather is finally cooling off and the days are getting shorter. One of the things I love on a crisp fall night is “breakfast for dinner”. Some nights, I dig out the cast iron pan for pancakes and ...

This post sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Mizuno. All opinions are my own. My running lately has been dismal. Since my first run almost 10 years ago, this has been the most ...
Last week of October…
I’m a little sad. I love these weeks of September/October because they bring in the slow start to the holiday season. But once Halloween is over, the Christmas Express jumps to warp speed. Before I ...
Workout Review-October 20-26
There has been a big change this week! I got some new kicks a couple of weeks ago and let me say right now..in my best Forrest Gump voice. “They was my magic shoes”. I had a better week with running ...

Paleo Breakfast on-the-go

Chicken Soup for the Healing Soul
I don’t know what it is about chicken soup, but I make it all year long. I CRAVE it during the cooler months and when I’m sick. This week, we had a big stretch of cold mornings and nights. I cooked a ...

Trudging along this week. I’m not sure why running seems more like a chore than a gift. Some days, it’s hard just to get out of bed. Running=therapy, right? Monday-2 miles Tuesday-2 miles ...
We are back in business-Roll Tide
Wow. It’s been a while..say maybe…mid season last year since I’ve seen our team look this good. 59-0. That’s not just winning, that’s an annihilation. Saban put in the 2nd and 3rd strings mid-way ...
