As the days get shorter and the nights get cooler, you’ll find my choice of drinks changing from light summer cocktails to hardier beverages just in time for the holidays. Water of course, will always top my list, but these delicious beverages help make the holidays merrier. Favorite holiday drinks: 1. Water – Good […]
First of all, aren’t you thrilled that my birthday is behind me, and I won’t be talking about it again for about fifty weeks – after today’s post… 😉 After a super early morning weight lifting session followed by training a few clients, Monday really got going with a Cruisers’ reunion of sorts at The Mellow […]
It’s that time of year where temptations abound from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day. From family-favorite comfort foods to tasty sparkling beverages, extra calories sneak in by the hundreds and leave us with tighter waistbands causing the winter blues come January 2nd. Now is the time to devise a game plan for how to handle eating and working out during the […]
I’m being bold on the blog today and changing things up. Last night’s MRTT Give Thanks to our Chapter Leaders party was so much fun that I’m starting with it! First off, don’t we clean up nicely? Not a single ponytail in sight! A couple of months ago my friend Beth came up with […]

I started Monday off with a renewed determination to get stronger in the off-season with another great strength training session! Yes, even though I have three 5K’s this fall, I consider this the off-season with no more Ragnars or halves until next spring. On Monday afternoon I got a fun email from a dentist office […]
I remember the first time someone told me that Halloween was her favorite holiday. I must have stared at her slack-jawed because I’d never thought of Halloween as a holiday. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Independence Day – now those are holidays! Times when families gather, holiday-specific food is prepared, and a jolly old time is […]
I have mixed emotions on the title of today’s blog post. As season ticket holders of Virginia Tech football, our falls are always filled with fun – and a lot of driving. This year, though, our Hokies are either under-performing or just not that good. And I’ve got to admit that it’s a lot harder […]
