Thank you, Sparkly Soul, for picking me =) If you’ve been following [...]

When my husband and I began our house hunting, we were focused on Central Jersey. We wanted a big house with lots of land. After 12+ years of living away from home, I was willing to sacrifice proximity to my family to have the house of my dreams. Last spring, my mom’s wonderfully generous cousins [...]

The tweets, facebook updates, and blog posts have begun – all discussing fall marathons and the initial couple of weeks of training for these races. That means weekly long runs are starting – by mid-summer, there’ll be plenty of 20+ mile runs being completed in preparation for the upcoming races. One question I’ve been asked [...]
I am amazed at how packed our weekends seem to get in the blink of an eye! I have all these little jobs around the house for my husband to do (that I can’t do b/c I’m a) not handy and/or b) are almost 6 months pregnant) on the weekends, but lately our weekends have [...]
Good Morning!!! I typically don’t post a ton about parenting because I try to keep this blog to running-related topics, but since my son’s sleep habits were affecting my running, I have decided to talk about it.

You have been chosen as a founding member of the Mezamashii Project. In Japanese the word Mezamashii means brilliant.

I started off the busy weekend bright and early in NYC with 6,000+ other females running the NYRR Mini 10k in Central Park. It was a humid, muggy morning and I was thankful that it stayed overcast for the race otherwise it would have been uncomfortable. I had no expectations going into this race. Not wearing [...]
Happy Hump Bump Day! My life has been a whirlwind since my last update THREE weeks ago! We are finally all moved into our new/first home. By “all moved in” I mean that everything we own is under one roof – but we still have a long way to go before we are completely settled. Thankfully, [...]
Earlier in the year, I read a post from one of my favorite bloggers, Carla from MizFitOnline. For a few weeks after reading her awesome post, I saw tweets and FB updates from her with the phrase “Living my priorities”. I loved what she was doing, but at the time, didn’t really connect it to anything [...]
