We did it!
Dan and I ran our 5K yesterday! It was pretty cool to actually run through the Lincoln Tunnel and back again. Surreal almost. It was a great event, one which benefited the Special Olympics. Dan and I hope to do more and more of these types of charity runs
5K Excitement!
On Saturday, Dan and I are running our first 5K! We've been working really hard and our extremely excited for the race. The path is through the Lincolon Tunnel and back again (have no fear: they are not allowing cars in. Some people were traumatized when
My Dream Kitchen
There are about a thousand (no, scratch that - five thousand) reasons why I can't wait for Dan and I to move into a house. I love the community in which we live, but this whole one-bedroom, tiny kitchen, minimal storage thing is getting SO OLD! So in addi
5K Training Adventures
Dan and I decided a couple of weeks ago that we were going to run our first 5K in April, and hopefully make it a regular thing. Starting in the spring, there are 5Ks all over the area. You can literally run one every weekend if you want. Now, for some rea

Confessions of a Slacker

Enough Already!
I've always been a big fan of fitness classes because it forces me to keep going when all I really want to do is throw in the towel. But there's always the risk that I'm not going to like the music, the instructor, or the people in the class.
He Has Arrived!
Dan and I met our nephew for the first time that evening, and he was more precious than we could have ever imagined. It's so magical to watch his parents interact with him; their maternal and paternal instincts have completely kicked in. Life truly is
Today's the Day!
Of course I'm so excited to meet this beautiful little boy (yep, it's a boy!), but I also know that my sister-in-law has a lot of work ahead of her. I can only imagine that being induced is a pretty scary thing. At least if labor begins naturally,

I'm a happy and healthy 29-year old who values her relationships with friends and family. I ADORE dogs and am counting down the days until Dan and I get one. I'm pretty obsessed with nutrition (I'll talk your ear off any day about the wonders of juicing) and am also determined to get into the shape of my life. My new love? Running!
