A friend recently asked me how I do it all… and the truth is, I’m not “doing it all”. Yes, I am working full-time, I write for two blogs (this one and The RUNiverse), I do a few websites on the side for various local businesses, I’m a wife, a …
I mentioned earlier that I feel bad asking my husband to help parent our child. It’s the stupidest thing, to feel guilt if she cries when he’s taking care of her. She cries for me too. She’s her own little person and we can’t necessarily control her. But for some …
What a weird year… at least for me. Last year at this time I was supposed to run the Resolution Run on New Years’ Eve and felt too crummy. I was little over a month along in my pregnancy and just felt shredded. It was actually the first time I …
On Monday I got to attend a self-myofascial release class at Mercer Health and Fitness. AKA a foam rolling class. Whenever I’ve tried foam rolling, I’ve just rolled quickly back and forth across muscles, but in this class we took things a lot slower and I really felt the benefits. …

I watched an interview with Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos. Tony Hsieh on Zappos’ Unique Company Culture I find a lot of stuff that Zappos is doing in their business culture fascinating, so it was an interesting view. I’m not so sure about the whole “valley girl” show concept …
When I first found out I was pregnant, I immediately cut out all the supplements I was taking. Basically everything says to consult with a doctor if you are pregnant, so I thought I was being safe. I’m sure it’s all just cover-our-butts language. One of the pills I eliminated …
