Friday Round-Up: Strength, Beauty and Adventure

Brooklyn Bridge

Yay for Friday! And for a long weekend! I’m looking forward to some downtime and hopefully get my workouts back on track. After Broad Street Run at the beginning of the month, I got busy and I haven’t kept up with my runs, yoga and other workouts as much as I would like. I mean, [...]

Don’t forget to just “be”

Downward facing dog

It always amazes me how my yoga practice reflects my inner mental state. Ups and downs, uncertainties and frustrations have a way of wedging themselves into the nooks and crannies of my body and make my practice unbalanced and hard.

The First Step

  I’m so happy to have Coco here today! She always has insightful thoughts about life and running that are often sprinkled with humor. Plus, as an empty nester, she helps me maintain my perspective on parenting and that life will return to normal one day! I had the honor of meeting Coco last year at [...]

Run Mommy

Run Mommy

  It was a great day for a run. And it was awesome. Yesterday morning, I lined up with 40,000 of my closest running friends at the start of the Broad Street Run. It’s hard to believe that race day has come and gone. I feel like I’ve been anticipating it for so long. The [...]
