Weekend Highlights: Cooper River Bridge Run and the Columbia Zoo

 Hello hello and happy Monday! I hope you all had a nice weekend! Ours was crazy busy but so much fun. 

On Saturday morning I was running in the Cooper River Bridge Run 10k in Charleston, SC. I originally signed up for this race in December 2019... before COVID spread around the world and changed all of our lives. The race got delayed, delayed again, then delayed again to this September. They had put a lot of measures into place to keep the runners safe from COVID, and I was READY! Running an official race is something I will never take for granted again. I love the atmosphere of the music, the crowds of people cheering you on, the energy of all the other runners... the excitement is contagious to say the least.

We had plans to head to Charleston early Friday morning but we were having our lawn aerated & overseeded and there was a delay. We technically didn't have to be here for it but wanted to water the new seed after they put it down. So we didn't end up getting to Charleston until mid afternoon. We headed straight to the Charleston Convention Center for the race Expo.

My Fitness Routine: Half Marathon Training

 Good morning friends! So at the end of last year I posted a little survey about what kinds of things you were hoping to read more of on here in 2021. One of the most common things you all asked for was an update on my fitness routine, specifically on running. I made a mental note to add that to my calendar at some point this year, and then this little email found its way into my inbox last week:

Goals for 2020

Good morning and Friday! Today I am sharing my goals/resolutions for the new year and I hope you'll share yours with me too! Sometimes seeing someone else's goals will help spark a new idea for me too 😀

Blowing Rock NC in the Fall

We were so lucky to get to spend this past weekend in the mountains, and it was GORGEOUS! The leaves were turning golden yellow and beginning to fall, the temperature was in the 50's and the sun was out.. it was beautiful. Here are a few pics of how we spent our weekend:

Running a Half Marathon

Hi There! Over the past few months I have mentioned a couple times that Dev and I are training to run the Charlotte Half Marathon and I have been getting a lot of questions from family and friends-- so I figured I'd share any information I have about running in case one of you is interested in possibly running one too!  These are the questions I most commonly get:
