Around 1:00 pm PST on Monday I found myself nodding off at work and decided to send myself home to rest after the long weekend of traveling and working. I found new energy after an hour or two on the couch and put some effort into completing another home work out. Thanks to my Greatist daily emails …

Just click your heels together three times and say …
There's no place like home! When I arrived at Charlotte International Airport at 6 in the morning it was rather empty, which made for a quick and painless walk through security. Not only was there no one in the airport but there was also no one on the plane - I got a whole row …

the pancake eating patient goes to pilates
Since I wanted to get some food in my stomach before I had my first 3 advil of the day I took the time to make a pancake for breakfast 🙂 After reviewing many different versions of pancakes from various blogs I decided to go with the following combination, which resulted in complete happiness: 2 …
9-grains of deliciousness
Instead of using old fashioned oats for my hot cereal I decided to shake things up a bit and get wild and crazy with a 9-grain cereal mix. I cooked it the same way I would regular oats, 1/4 cup of cereal, 1/2 cup of almond milk, sliced banana, and I topped it off with …
My glute got me
Tuesday's run was shortened when I got a kink in my left glute and unfortunately this pulled muscle plagued me all of yesterday too. When I woke up for the gym, hoping to run, I had shooting pains down my leg and up my lower back, so I listened to my body and did some abs, …

Only to return….
With an early wake up for a morning flight back to San Fran there was no time for a workout Sunday morning. The Charlotte airport was really quiet when I got there - believe it or not I was the ONLY person in the security line. For some reason they felt the need to pat-down …
M-O-N-D-A-Y
L-O-N-G Those are the letters that spell out the word that you just read, LONG. That is how I would describe yesterday. I got up nice and early to get in a 4 mile run before making it to work at 8 am. I prefer running outside over the treadmill, but sometimes it's nice to …
A day of experiments
Yesterday was a day of experiments... For breakfast I was craving something on the savory side so I slapped some tomato sauce on a sandwich thin and sprinkled some "fake" cheese in between the bread. When I got to work I stuck it in the microwave ... and ... tada! Ooey cheesy-ish goodness in the a.m. …
A Night In
Well it was a short work week but by no means a short week. Monday I was in St. Maarten trying to fly home, spent another day in paradise on Tuesday but was in Newark, NJ via Charlotte, NC by the end of the day, then bright and early Wednesday morning I was back in …
