Girls Night Out: Unicorn Edition
I’ve totally been digging the unicorn trend lately. I may not be into consuming all of the sugar it involves, but I’m a pink girl (and Lisa Frank fanatic) at heart so this trend pretty much makes me swoon. Which is why when fellow blogger and boss babe, Erin, a.k.a. Ms. Independent, announced the theme…

Race Recap: Autism Speaks 8K
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. I LOVE spring time running. Without any big races to train for, the pressure is off and the small, fun races are on! One of those races was the second annual Autism Speaks 8K in Sugar Land. I was lucky enough to be asked to lead…

Celebrate Super Bowl LI AND Give Back
Super Bowl LI is H-town bound next week, and spoiler alert: that’s a big freaking deal. Houston has been prepping for the big game for months and downtown looks better than ever. I’ve never lived in a city that’s hosted the Super Bowl (while I lived there), so I’m excited to see how things shake…

Houston Event Recap: Via Colori
Houston’s phenomenal fall weather this past weekend meant that being outside was non-negotiable. Luckily, Houston always has something happening outdoors this time of year. So after my morning run and yoga class, we ubered downtown to the Via Colori Street Painting Festival. I always recommend ubering downtown, especially from where we live in Montrose. It’s…

Post-Marathon Blues
It’s officially been three weeks since I ran the Chevron Houston Marathon. It was a tough day and my body was pretty beat up afterwards due to some lingering injuries (read about that here), so I decided to take some time off. In fact, yesterday was my first run since the race, making it one…

Race Recap: Chevron Houston Marathon
It’s been a week since I ran my 11th marathon and my 3rd Chevron Houston Marathon. I’ve taken the week to reflect on my race and more importantly give my body a chance to rest and recover. Houston is always my favorite race of the year, and while I didn’t PR and dealt with some…
