I leave for Las Vegas for BlogFest tomorrow! I can’t believe it’s that time already. It’s going to be quite a switch for me, coming from a month of being in a bikini at the beach to a fitness conference in Vegas. I’ve been pretty quiet lately, enjoying some restoration, self care, and lots of…
In one week from today, BlogFest 2017 kicks off in Las Vegas! I simply can’t believe it’s that time again. It feels like we were just in LA for last year’s conference. With our amazing photo booth, protein shake shenanigans, DTLA run-ventures, so much sweat… I had to start thinking about my packing for BlogFest…
I wish I could run every day. As much as I’d love that, my body just won’t have it. I wish I could ski every day. I wish I could bust out a badass flow on my mat every day. My body just won’t have it. My body just isn’t capable of going hard in…
I find as I get older that my mom and dad were right about so much. Whether it’s safety while out running or that jerk I dated in high school, it all comes back to the advice they gave and the lessons they imparted. So rather than go into the trials of my dating experiences…
There was a brief time when I didn’t run all that much. I ran my way through college, playing club field hockey and running two half marathons. Lifelong knee problems really kicked in my last year of college. The summer before I did a NOLS course, backpacking for weeks in the Lemhi Mountains in Idaho…
We got back from an amazing, sweaty, restful, fun weekend feeling… exhausted! Let’s first talk why I’m feeling exhausted. We headed to Hood River for three days to teach at the OutFound Festival. It kicked off in true Flex & Flow fashion: with a dance party. What better way to celebrate the amazing view and sunset…
I think this June is going to be the sweatiest EVER! Not only will I be in North Carolina for quite a while (hellllllloooo humidity!) and will I be amping up my running to prepare for my half at the end of the summer, but there are so many ridiculously sweaty things happening. Are you…
#tbt to 8 years ago, just a young little chippy studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain. For years I’d been a runner, mostly playing sports and training for those sports. But I ran a lot. Even though I’d exercised, trained, and been very active for most of my life, I thought I maxed out at 3-4…
Not too long ago, we were pretty ready for 2016 to end and to slay in 2017: Me In 2017 GIF However, I have to say, 2017 hasn’t started off all that much better. I was sick most of January. We had two more Snowpocalypse episodes, effectively shutting down the city. There’s some serious stuff going on…
So the rumors are true. There are in fact two waves to the virus that took me down during New Year’s. It hasn’t hit nearly as hard, but for going on five days now, I’ve been low energy, snotty, and super congested. Luckily the sore throat has been minimal this round too. I’ve actually been…
