Happy Monday everyone! This weekend was a little bit of a whirlwind. I got home at 11pm on Friday, and then Josh unexpectedly had to turn around and fly out at 5am Saturday morning. We had a dear family friend pass away from cancer. The services were this weekend and while I was devastated I… [Read More]
Fitness Motivation
I’m trying to surround myself with positive mantras and encouragement as I work on my health and fitness. I spent some time today finding quotes on Pinterest I want to write in my planner and remind myself of during moments when I can really use some fitness motivation. I wanted to focus on quotes that… [Read More]
Working on My Fitness with Target® C9
As you guys know, I’ve been working on cleaning up my eats in 2015. Originally I was also planning on starting the year off strong with workouts, but my tailbone injury in December put a serious damper on that. For over a month now sitting, standing, and laying down has been a difficult process. I… [Read More]
Running Like Woah
Hi everyone! This is Josh. I’m filling in for Erin today because Saucony sent us an awesome pair of men’s running shoes for me to try out. (Erin’s note: It would be weird if I attempted to test out these shoes. 😉 ) I’m relatively new to running. (But he is a natural!) Before three years ago,… [Read More]
Fitness Focused Gift Guide
If you’re anything like me, fitness is front and center on your mind as a new year approaches. You’re evaluating what you did well, and what you could do better in the new year. I always tend to ask for some fitness focused items on my Christmas list. In partnership with Lorna Jane, I wanted… [Read More]
Fall Weather Runs

Running my first 10k
I did something I wasn’t quite sure I would ever do last Friday – I ran a 10k! A few months back Josh told me about the Harvest Moon Hustle. It’s a nighttime trail run that is billed as, “fast, flat, and in the dark.” Josh loves trail runs even more than I do (which… [Read More]
Weekend Snapshots 9.29
Good morning! I hope your day is off to a great start and that you had a wonderful weekend of making memories. This post is a recap of my weekend but really should be called, “The time I petted alpacas and took 200 billion pictures.” You’ve been warned. 😀 I ran my first 10k! I’ll be… [Read More]
What’s in my gym bag
Disclosure: This #AwesomelyActive post was sponsored by Tampax® Pearl® Active™ through their partnership with POPSUGAR. While I was compensated by POPSUGAR, all opinions are my own. It’s easy to feel like there’s not enough time in the day to get in a workout. I totally get it – life is busy! I used to use… [Read More]
Frank Landy 5k in Waikiki
Remember that time I went to Hawaii and only recapped half the trip? I think I’m overwhelmed by how many pictures I took. I seriously snapped a million in the two weeks we were there. So I thought today, instead of doing a huge recap with tons of pictures, I’d recap a 5k I did…. [Read More]
My Fitness Goals (that aren’t weight related)
Hey guys! Happy Monday! I normally would be doing a weekend snapshot post today, but since my weekend was pretty quiet over here (apartment cleaning for the win!) I thought it would be fun to elaborate on my fitness goals. It’s been a little over a month since I first wrote about how I’ve been… [Read More]
