If you follow me on pretty much any form of social media, you know that on Tuesday I got to attend an awesome event at the White House. I was part of a group of about 150 bloggers who were invited to participate in “A Conversation on the Health of our Nation’s Children.” As you…

Nava Health and Vitality Center: Results {{Giveaway}}
Nava Health and Vitality Center offered me an opportunity to try their intake services and compensated me for this post. A few weeks ago, I headed over to the Nava Health and Vitality Center to meet with one of their staff and get blood drawn for a variety of tests. The experience as a whole was…
Nava Health and Vitality Center, Visit 1
Disclaimer: I received compensation for this post, but all opinions are my own. A few weeks ago, I got a chance to visit the Nava Health and Vitality Center for an evening discussion. Nava is an integrative wellness center “where clients can experience a rich blend of Eastern and Western wellness techniques to overcome a variety…
The Food Dare Review
Happy weekend after Thanksgiving! Did you eat your weight in sweet potatoes, stuffing, and pie like I did? (Note the lack of mention of turkey – I ate some, but I’m not a fan, so it was a small part of my meal(s).) I don’t know about you, but despite a couple of runs, I’m…
Less Stress, More Joy – Nava Health & Vitality Center
I am receiving compensation for this event and review, but all opinions are my own. Last week I was invited to a talk at the Nava Health and Vitality Center. The topic of the evening centered around enjoying the holidays more, with “less stress, anxiety, weight gain and more happiness, family time and joy.” Sounded like a…
Staying healthy over the holiday
You know I’m a big fan of moving during the holiday season. Why else would I be participating in a bunch of different holiday challenges AND have just joined a gym for the first time in 12 years? Sometimes though, just staying moving is not enough to keep you healthy during the holidays. Sometimes you…
My least favorite part of fall: fall allergies
Disclosure: I received promotional consideration for this post. All opinions expressed are solely my own. I love fall. The weather is cooling off and running is becoming easier. Virginia puts up a gorgeous display of leaves. Soup returns to our menu and dark beers re-appear on the grocery shelves. Every weekend there are options for…
Runner’s World Half and Festival discount + coffee!
Ok, big news around here – I’ve been invited to the Runner’s World Half and Festival in October. The Runner’s World Half and Festival has been on my to do list for a while now, but fall is a busy time around here and the date never really worked for me. Apparently procrastinating worked and…
Fit Snack June Box Review
I received the June Fit Snack box free of charge. Links below are affiliate links, which means if you buy through them, I might earn another box. I recently received a Fit Snack box to try. I tried one a few months ago and liked it, so when the opportunity arose to try one again, I took…
Thinking out Loud: Where do I go from here?
You knew it was coming, right? I’ve finished my major goals for the first half of the year and apparently I’m feeling blasé about the fact that I have 6 half marathons in 6 days in 6 states in September. Eh, what’s another state when I’ve already done 5 in 5 two times? Ahem. I’m…
Hello Fresh Review
I love to cook. I love to eat even more than I love to cook. But you know what I really do not like to do? Meal plan. I’m just not that creative and I have picky kids and I get stuck eating the same things over and over again. I have a particularly hard…
Did you #rockyourcore last week?
Last week was… interesting. I made some dietary changes, it warmed up a LOT, allergy season hit, and Beer Geek was on a four day bike ride. All my runs kind of sucked, my core was barely rocked, and my house looks like a bomb went off.
