Masking up!!
While we’ve passed the 1 year mark of the pandemic that has changed everyday life, there is light at the end of the tunnel. With that new day around the corner, I still believe there are some things here to stay, like mask wearing. While it may not be what it looks like while the…
The Mighty Anacostia parkrun / (not) parkrun – Washington, DC

Building a community
A very important part of trying to be the best version of yourself and living an active lifestyle (my personal choice), is surrounding yourself with like-minded people and having a community that supports you. Since we are generally social by nature, having a community is a great way to check in with, and on, your…
Outdoor activity in cold weather

So I haven’t swam since February 2020… I haven’t done any strength workouts consistently, if at all… my diet has been just OK at best…
Functional core exercises
Here’s some more functional exercises to try! While they are mostly focused on engaging and using your core (a strong core is absolutely critical to so many fundamental movements), the compound movements also engage other areas and can be incorporated into HIIT workouts. Although I did these in the gym (I do not currently workout…
Pandemic Fatigue
A little vulnerability and disclosure here… but I truly don’t feel it’s being vulnerable as much as it’s being honest! How can you trust things I say or listen to things I talk about if I’m not forthcoming with how I’m also affected on a personal level? So here goes – this pandemic has taken…
Tacx bicycle trainer and Garmin 530 Edge bike computer
Felt good to get a ride in without having to find a trail or prepare for the weather!! The tacx trainer is pretty awesome! I’ll leave a more detailed review after having used it for a bit, along with a review of the garmin 530 Edge bike computer (I want to use that outside too)……
Training through quarantine
Even though we are practicing social distancing and taking precautions not to infect each other with COVID-19, I’ve been able to adapt a bit and have gotten more running and biking in. I have biking totals of 100+ miles for 3 straight months (Feb., Mar., and Apr.) and my running totals have been 20+ since…
