...and I'm happy this day has come. Today I said goodbye to my handicap parking pass. It came in handy while I was on crutches, and it was even more useful when I started to walk on my own again and needed to be close to my destination. Today the pass expired and a smile …

Hi, my name is Jordan, and I am a 29 year-old yogi. At the start of this blog I was a half marathoner, and while I may not be running around anymore, I still have plenty of steps to take, so come join me :)
The Grass is Always Greener…well maybe not, but it sure looks like it
It's hard not to walk down the street and look at a person running by and think, gee, they are so lucky they can run, and compete in races and jog with friends. Or see someone with a flat stomach and assume that they get to eat whatever they want and still look good in …

Spin Therapy
I parked the car, grabbed my gym bag and proceeded to the tag scan. I reached for a towel and did a double take. There was a stack of spin class passes for the 5:15pm class and I couldn't look away. I have been cleared to do spin classes by my doctor and up until …
Achoo
Over these last few days I have had a head cold, complete with sniffles, sneezes and lots of tissues. During the majority of the day I feel ok and I find it hard to steer clear of the gym without a legitimate flu excuse. I spent half an hour on the stationary bike one day …
Peas Please
My go to soup when I have cold is of course matzoh ball soup, but I was in the mood to create something from scratch instead of using a boxed mix. I found a new recipe that is simple but will sweep you off your feet. Add some onion, celery and green onions to a pot and …
Out with the old and in with the new
The days following January 1st are filled with people rejecting bad habits, discarding unwanted clutter, throwing out perfectly good miniature trees and resigning themselves to making healthier decisions. I have weeded out many undesirable habits over the years as I work towards an ideal, but balanced healthy lifestyle. This year of recovery will be a …
Blogging in the new year
I feel like blogging has always been a part of me, but I only began publishing last year. It's incredible to look through posts from 2012 and remember all of the things that I experienced and I am excited to continue writing about my journey this year. Only a few days in and the new …
Starting the year off right
I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year's festivities! I celebrated with a night of drinks and dancing 🙂 It was a perfect way to spend the evening, moving on the dance floor with both my good hip and my no-longer-broken one. The first day of 2013 was spent resting my tired legs, enjoying the fresh …
2012
365 days ago I started this blog. It was supposed to chronicle my journey as a runner and my healthy (and not so healthy) habits. And while running was a major part of this daily publication for many months, running took a major back seat to many other life events that happened this year. Some …
On top of the world
at the Top of the Mark. If you live here, are passing through, or if you are on vacation in San Francisco, you must stop at the historic 19th floor of the Mark Hopkins. The views are incredible and will simply make you smile at the beauty of the city. And the drinks will put …
