I could seriously live in workout gear, and maybe somedays I am totally guilty of that. They now make very flattering and stylish workout gear, and thankfully I can get away with wearing it for my “day job”, as well as training and teaching yoga, so that’s a plus. While I love fashion and “normal clothes”, some days with my…

Tri Again…
I did not expect to get the “Tri Itch” after my 1st sprint tri a month ago, but I did. I’ve always loved running, but honestly don’t love the anxiety, nerves, and competition that come along with races. I definitely got more nervous before this race than I did for my first one since I signed up ahead of time…
Never Know Until You TRI…
Friday afternoon, my husband and I are sitting on the couch with the boys, (pretty exhausted after he had been gone all week, and then we had taken the boys to swim lessons and ice cream afterwards…), and I look to him and say, “So, should I do that triathlon tomorrow?” He looks back at me and says, “Sure, why…
Weekend Recap

Race Day Prep
Kicking off this “I got 5 on it” Friday series, I am sharing 5 ways that I am prepping for my race tomorrow morning. I don’t run a lot of races but for some reason I get REALLY nervous before any type of performance. I make “goals” for myself, but I try not to be hard on myself with them.…
Weekly Workouts
Greenville’s fitness scene has exploded in the past couple of years. We have so many great fitness gyms and yoga studios, and honestly ain’t nobody got time to fit them all in. What fits one person’s needs may not fit your own, but my biggest advice would be not to shut the door on one “type” of exercise because of…
for the love of yoga
Last week, I taught yoga to a group of the sweetest women, many of whom had never taken yoga before in their lives. They are participating in a Biggest Loser challenge, working on lifestyle changes and killing it! Here I am, teaching them the wonderful gift of yoga and the 60 minutes I spent with them was truly a gift to…
