Happy Friday! Since it’s Friday, you know what that means: time to link up to the DC Trifecta Friday Five Link-Up, hosted by Eat, Pray, Run DC, You Signed Up for What?!, and Mar on the Run. This week challenged me to come up with five fitness goals. I have a ton of goals for myself for this…
I’m so sad, you guys! Last week, on my way home from work, my fitbit unhooked from my pants, and fell out of my pocket. I didn’t realize it until I got home, so it could really be anywhere between the Capitol and my house in Maryland. I was so sad when I realized this!…
This is just one in a series on Flecks of Lex where I share workouts that target major muscle groups, and that can be done quickly with little to no equipment. Have some suggestions for Everything Burns workouts? Send me an email. Enjoy! Disclaimer: I am not a certified trainer, doctor, dietitian, or cat wrangler. For now,…
Happy Tax Day! Okay, I know it might not be so happy for everyone out there, but let’s just play pretend for a moment. As I was having difficulty coming up with a post today, I decided that I would write about a topic that I’m asked about on a pretty consistent basis: What is…
If you’ve been following me on social media, you know that I have been getting my run on. Like Donkey Kong. There are a couple of different apps I’ve been using to train while running. One of my favorites is Couch to 5K. It’s great for people just starting to run, and is also good…
The Run This Year April Challenge has really kicked my butt into gear! The challenge for today was to create a seven-day running plan. I had never planned out runs before (aside from back in my coaching days), and I was really intimidated by the fact that I was going to have to factor running…
This was quite an eventful week! The week kicked off April, as well as a week of pretty good weather here in the D.C. area. Hallelujah! Though, it was weird that the week started off with snow… This week, as with the last two weeks, I’m participating in the DC Trifecta Friday Five Link-Up, hosted by…
Last Sunday, I managed to completely embarrass myself at hot yoga. Not only was I sweating like some sort of beast, I was failing in so many poses. What was the deal? People are not kidding when they use the phrase “yoga practice.” Clearly, ya girl needs some practice. My takeaway from Sunday’s session was…
This weekend, I had the most epic fitness shopping experience of my life. The Boyfriend and I ventured over to Road Runner Sports in Rockville, Maryland. I’d done some research about the store before our trip, which is how I determined that this is where I wanted to purchase running shoes — one of the…
Woo hoo! Just a handful of hours until the weekend begins. This week, I decided to continue with the DC Trifecta Friday Five Link Up. I decided to follow the theme this time, because it’s one I hadn’t really thought about. I know what I like to do, but I’d never thought about my five…
