Since Monday was a holiday that meant no work for me. It also meant it was time to get out and do my long run for the week. On deck this week was 8 miles. Yes, 8 miles at my current weight is a bit difficult and by a bit I mean very. It’s uncomfortable [...]

Some people are dessert people and some arent. I know tons (ok not tons but definitely respectable amounts) of people who truly do have a “take it or leave it” mentality when it comes to sweets. Oh how I wish I was one of those people. But, this year is all about accepting my own needs [...]

I got up super early this morning to make it to Bikram Yoga Lynchburg’s earliest Saturday class. It starts at 7:30 so I was pretty proud of my ambition to wake up at 6:00am. Normally I would take it easy on Saturday and just go to a later class but I had plans with the [...]
