When you’re a kid envying grown ups their freedoms, what they don’t tell you is that it’s really hard to be an adult. Ok, maybe they do try to tell you that. I distinctly remember being told to enjoy my youth. The catch of that is that you don’t really know how amazing it is…
And here I thought summer couldn’t get any crazier. Last year was the epitome of unusual. I was back and forth to North Carolina all summer long for my dad’s transplant. We were in Vegas for BlogFest, roadtripped to California for the EMPOWER race. I also went to Rochester, NY, Seattle, WA, and Asheville, NC,…
The past months have been B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Before even venturing to the park to run, we tested them out at the house. 5 dancing girls, 5 different songs (1 podcast, in Jamie’s case), 1 conversation. The epitome of successful multitasking. It was such a fun…
We’re already changing seasons up here in Portland. We’ll still have some steamy, sunny summer days, for sure. It’s currently 90 and sunny, but just 2 weeks ago I was bundled up in a sweater and scarf watching a steady drizzle come down outside the coffee shop. Season changes and fickle weather is exhausting.

I’m a big fan of the beverage buffet. I tend to work on multiple drinks at the same time. Water, constantly. Kombucha, wine, coffee, green juice, smoothies… All the beverages all day long! idealfit asks us today for the #IdealFitSummer #TheFitChallenge, “What are you sippin’ on to keep you moving and grooving all day long?” WATER!
