Remember how I was searching for a way to get more protein into Jones’ life? I bought a number of different protein powders for baking. Guess what happened to them? Trash. I couldn’t stand the taste. But I kept seeing mention of whey proteins and decided that would be a great next one to try….

Revolve DC Indoor Cycling Review
Recently, Revolve DC approached me and offered me a free class. I was really excited to try it, but the only time of day that works for me is 10:00am. With only a few of those classes each week, it took me a few weeks to finally get in. (There are plans to increase the…
Cleaning up my diet
You know how “they” say you can’t out-exercise a bad diet? Well, I’m here to tell you it’s true. I managed to gain a whole lot of fluff while I was running crazy miles for the five halves in five days. I’ve managed to keep it on, despite working out more intensely and actually using…
39.3 miles in the Saucony Virrata
For the last year+, I’ve been on a quest. For what? The perfect running shoe. When I started wearing minimalist shoes, I found that I run too heavy and on too much pavement to run major mileage with little or no cushion. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Vibrams and my Pace Gloves, but…
What I’m loving right now…
Ok, first and foremost the fact that the election is over. For the first time in MONTHS, my phone isn’t ringing constantly. The silence is beautiful. (Seriously, living in a swing state and having both parties think you might vote for them = near constant calls. Some small part of me wanted to vote for…
Simply Bar Review and Giveaway
Recently I was contacted with the opportunity to try out “The Simply Bar.” I had heard about them on various blogs and I happened to be attempting to add extra protein to my diet plus eat more frequently. While I was mostly focused on clean, whole foods, I’d had a few instances where I hit…
A trip to Athleta
I’ve been warned that I will spend a lot of time in the water at Goshen. It’s right by a lake + one of the day hikes is to a river. Read: I need a suit that will cover me appropriately AND stay on while hiking, canoeing, swimming, whatever. Thanks to a bit of stockpiling…
10 miles in Vibrams and a Sparkly Soul Giveaway
That’s right. This… In these… I honestly thought I’d never break double digits in minimalist shoes. Of course, lately I can’t seem to run single digits in regular running shoes, so I was beginning to wonder if my days running anything longer than a 10K were over. I’m happy to say they are not. Today…
Vinyasa (Jivamukti) Yoga at Mind the Mat
I don’t go without my mat and my nuun Today, I took a step outside my comfort zone. Not way, way outside, but just enough outside to challenge myself. A new yoga studio opened in Arlington recently, called Mind the Mat. As part of their opening, all classes this week were free. Who doesn’t like…
Zemgear Ninja minimalist shoe review
I recently got a chance to try out the Zemgear Ninja shoes. I’ve worn them quite a bit, but haven’t exercised in them much since they are only for use indoors and on soft surfaces. I don’t exercise indoors much during the summer and one would never call the streets by my house a “soft…
The foot bone’s connected to the shin bone
Do you remember that song from when you were a kid? I totally remember singing it. I’ve recently had a lesson in how changing one thing can affect your body most of the way up. I ran 4 miles yesterday in the Mizuno Prophecy shoes. This is not a full review yet, just some thoughts…
