I'm the first to admit that my training for Grandma's Marathon was pretty intense. I ran a lot of miles and didn't have a lot of extra time for other activities. So I'm excited for after Grandma's, when I can get back to doing all those other things. I miss [solidcore]! I miss yoga! I miss paddle boarding! I miss kettlebells! My friend Ericka (the kettlebell instructor from this post) is Continue Reading
Q. Cumbers Restaurant, Corepower Yoga, and a Giveaway!
I have been logging quite a few weekly miles lately as I train for Grandma's Marathon. Rest, recovery, hydration, and diet are all more important than ever during this peak of marathon training season. But eating well is always a challenge; sometimes there's just not enough time in the day for meal prep. I work full time and usually try to bring my lunch from home, but it doesn't always work Continue Reading

Fresh New Fit: Static Trapeze Class at Twin Cities Trapeze Center
Ah, I'm so sorry I have been MIA! My computer was on its last leg, so I had to order a new one. The new one was a custom order with loads of memory, so it took a little while for it to arrive. But now I am back in action, and this Macbook is WAAAY faster; I love it! Anyways, I have been meaning to write a post about the static trapeze class that Dustin and I took last Saturday. Remember last Continue Reading
Fresh New Fit: Warby Parker!
Have you guys heard about Warby Parker? Warby Parker is a fresh new fit in the optical and sunglasses business! Let me tell you a story...I grew up wearing glasses- ugly glasses too. I think my first pair of glasses was in 2nd grade, and they were super thick.
