My run streak has made it the entire month! Along with running (or walking), I’ve been working some other exercises into my routine…or at least trying to. Enter…the medicine ball. I love this ball. I have one at home that is 8 pounds, and at the gym, I use either the 8 or 10-pound ball. […]

Journey back into fitness

{almost} Wordless Wednesday: Short hike in Asheville NC
We went for a short, VERY kid-friendly hike with a friend and her dog last month – one of my last days of maternity leave. We quickly found a creek to play in, and my son took full advantage of it. The baby was along for the ride in the jogging stroller and did fantastic. (I […]
