Cleansing, Blogging and New Years Resolutions in Late January

A lot of the time we, I, get so hung up on following someone's life on Instagram, blogs, twitter or a favorite celebrity, anything really, that we forget what Real life looks like. It's not perfect. We are all flawed. Yes, even those that look flawless are not. I think that's why this campaign is so brilliant. It shows life, REAL life.

One of my New Years Resolutions was to blog and share more. And yet, somehow it's already January 27th and this is the first time I have sat down to write something.

Why, you might ask? I don't have the answer to that. Fear I guess? But what am I afraid of? Again, I'm not sure.

A Runner's Manifesto

It's been a while since I have been back, I have been doing some major work on my running. I finally nursed a hip injury that I sustained back in September last year when I was marathon training for New York. With a lot of work and some physical therapy, it's finally better. So naturally I signed up for another race. This time it's my first half marathon, the Long Beach in October. I have a goal of making it in under 2 hours, so I have been doing a lot of strength training and speed work. So far I have hit all my time goals on every run. I have been feeling great getting back into it, as scared as I was that I lost is all after the injury and months off of the pavement. But I haven't! I am elated!

In honor of all the great running I have been up to and to anyone who's nursing an injury right now, keep your head up, you'll be back soon!

Cleansing Day 1

I have done a few  3-day cleanses in the past. My first experience was Blue Print Cleanse. Followed a year or so later with the Rainbow cleanse from Moon Juice. And the last one was about 6 months ago, from Kreation Kafe. The first time I did a juice cleanse, I found it extremely difficult, but so worth it. And with each subsequent cleanse, it's gotten easier and more pleasant. So I am excited to do it once again.

Happy Friday!

I have a lot of blog posts in the works right now, but none quite ready yet. So I thought I would share a timeless piece of musical inspiration today. Lately, I have been catching up on my Community episodes. I just love Chevy Chase. Which reminded me of this fabulous video. One of my favorites growing up and still holds up. Enjoy! And Happy Friday!

I'm Back!

Well HELLOOOO there! Let me preface this with a huge, I’m so sorry. For the small audience that I may still have. Yes, it's been over a year, 16 months to be more exact. And all this despite a 2013 AND 2014 resolution I had to blog more (or at all).

I know. I know.

Needless to say, a LOT has happened since then. I will make this first blog post in 16 months a brief recap of what has happened and why I took a small hiatus from the blog.
