Training for a Spartan Race. One Month Down, Two to Go! #BeFearless
Here's the thing folks, the IDEA of training for a race is much nicer than the actual training. (Read my first entry about where this brilliant idea came from here) Welcome to my world of Spartan training. This is not a crazy race, compared to
Berry Quinoa Salad with Lime Honey Dressing
Yesterday, while at home with my family in Pennsylvania, I went on a long walk with Penelope (my new pup) and my nephew Jonah through the gorgeous country fields behind my Moms' house. In a moment of bravery I took my little pup off leash and let
Healthy Across America Road Trip- We Made It! Boston, MA!
I feel like there should have been a marching band on Newbury street to harold in our grand arrival. Alas, we pulled up to our destination with Pat Benatar blaring and had our own little celebration. We made it! 3000 miles, 100's of playlists,

When you stumble upon the kind of food Mecca we did this morning, a victory lap is in order. The PeaceTree Cafe and Juice Bar in Moab, Utah was our road trip savior. After last nights disappointing dinner, and even more disappointing
Healthy Across America Road Trip. Zion National Park, Utah to Moab, Utah
There is no better way to start a day then A 90 minute hike through the puppy-friendly trails (trail, actually, only 1 is puppy friendly) of beautiful Zion National Park. Spectacular doesn't even begin to describe this southwestern slice of heaven.
Healthy Across America Road Trip. Los Angeles to Zion Park, Utah.
Oh man. So much for our first day, we started out with a bang! Our morning began in the healthy of all healthy states California so we had an inkling to make the best of it, or at least I did. So... off we went, to be super nerdy about the trip we
