Alright, here you go. As I mentioned I was participating in the green smoothie challenge and it was delicious. We have smoothies every day for breakfast so this wasn’t a big change-up but it did force me to try some new recipes. Monday Peanut Butter Blueberry Smoothie: Mix the below together. Pour into a mason… Continue Reading

Find something that makes you happy
The other day I was listening to a Jillian Michaels’ podcast (check them out, they’re free on iTunes) and she was talking about depression and ways to prevent it. Now, I’ve never had any issues with depression so that area is foreign territory to me but as she was listing off some things to help… Continue Reading
This is what I’m doing right now
Sitting here on the locker room floor icing me knees. Why? Because for the past 2 days I’ve actually been able to run.

My Knees
What’s wrong with my knees you ask? “What’s not,” feels like the better question to ask. My knees were fine until HTC 3 years ago. Mid-way through my last run something in my right knee started killing me. I knew if I stopped running I’d never start again so I finished my leg and burst… Continue Reading
