30-Day Core Challenge – Done!

I did it, I finished the 30-Day Core Challenge on Apple Fitness!

Halfway through the 30-Day Core Challenge

I made it halfway into the 30-Day Core Challenge! I have been following it religiously and haven’t skipped a day, not even on weekends when I usually don’t workout.

New York City Day One: Brooklyn

I just got home from a two week vacation in New York City, where I had the best time. I didn’t relax, because I don’t think it’s possible to relax in the city that never sleeps, but I had so much fun. I saw so much of the city, places I had never seen the … Continue reading New York City Day One: Brooklyn

Love running in the sand

This morning I went running at the beach for the third weekend in a row. I thought maybe today would be difficult because I was tired but it was better than the last two times, or maybe ever?

Saturday morning run

Yesterday I gave running at the beach another shot. I went in the morning again so the sun wasn’t that bad but it didn’t rain this time so it was hot.
