Fitness, food, motherhood and life at the Quarry
I’ve run countless road races, of many distances. I’ve struggled to get to the end of some. Others were smooth like butter. Saturday’s race was definitely more of the former. A lot more. So much more, that I can say, after it was all said and done: It was my absolute, worst run ever. It […]
Read MoreLet’s start a new trend here. This is for all of my busy mommas out there who want to get in shape, but just don’t have the time. The mommas who work all day, tend to the household duties, and the kids. The stay at home mommas who don’t have a spare minute between keeping […]
Read MoreI gave myself six full weeks after the baby came to rest and recover. The sole amount of activity I did was walks after two weeks, very light tempo runs after 3 weeks, and yoga around the same time. It was decision I had made long before he came. I was going to enjoy my […]

Personally, classes have never been my “thing”. Then again, I was always a solo gym goer right from the start. Sure, my husband and […]
Read MoreThis isn’t going to be a typical Workout Wednesday post. It’s Wednesday, and I did workout. I had quite a few different posts I’ve thought about working up for today, but this is something that I feel is a little more important. Why is talking with your client important? Not only does it establish some […]
Read MoreOh where to start with this one? There is so much to say, and no clear “Start” line, so let’s just fire off that gun and get going… First, there are two sides of the fence here. The one side that says you have to eat three square meals a day. Then the other that […]
