This was such a great weekend! We had an epic Halloween-themed date night, hung out with all the people, and hit the trails not once but twice! We also managed to do some cleaning, talk finances, and meal prep for the week. Best team ever.

5 Photos From the Weekend
My weekend in a nutshell: A move, a pig-out, sore muscles, and a really good book.

My First Orangetheory Fitness Class
This past Sunday, after a good play session with the pup, I headed to Orangetheory Wash Park to finally try the trendy fitness class after a long period of curiosity. I will admit: I was nervous!
A Wonky Wednesday
Yesterday was just one of those off days. A restaurant situation threw off my whole eating schedule, as well as my mental focus… at least for a little while. But I’m proud of myself for unhooking that mood and recalibrating. This recap will be short, as I’m super busy!
Date Night, 3 Amigas, & Outfits of the Week
Everything in One!
Blogging during the workweek is way too hard at the moment, with a tiny pup, a full workday, and nightly rehearsals. Instead, I’ve just been updating one post throughout the week…
The result is that today’s post is long and packed with exciting things!
The Importance of Taste
Just one of our decadent breakfasts this week
We Eat So Well
…and I want to talk about it.
After three or four days of consuming whatever the heck we fancied in Crested Butte—including an assortment of things we don’t usually eat, like ice cream and a bucket of fried chicken—it’s been nice to return to our whole foods-centric lifestyle.
One of my favorite things (there are many) about Nick is his passion for making delicious meals from whole, organic, and nutritious ingredients. He’s really made a believer out of me.
When 4 Miles Turn into 7
I am Forrest Gump
Good morning, friends!
I had to stop by and tell you about my run yesterday after work… and share some food pics, of course. We also got The Art of Raising a Puppy in the mail last night and have already read the first three chapters. I want that fluffy little German shepherd puppy on the cover!
Race Weekend Snapshots
Our First Race Together
This was my 6th half marathon and Nick’s 2nd (he leap-frogged into a full marathon and then ultra distances). I’ve never run alongside someone for the entire duration of a race, so this was a cool experience.
Here’s a breakdown of the weekend, and the race: how it felt, what went well, what didn’t, and whether or not I’d run the Platte River Half Marathon again.

Meal Preppin‘ for the Win
Happy Wednesday! How’s your week going?
I thought I’d share a little sample of what my meals have looked like lately. This installment includes tons of veggies, fruits, grains, and fish!
The man is so good at packing lunches and planning meals, and I’m really loving the routine. It’s economical and sets you up for success (except for outlier-days like Burrito-gate).

Scenes From a Long Run
Before, During, & After
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? We switched things up a bit and did our long runs on Saturday this time around. I’m kind of a fan of the change.
The man had a more intense run on his training schedule—14+ miles of trail at White Ranch Open Space—and I did a solo long run of 9 miles at Wash Park and the surrounding neighborhoods.
I took this opportunity to document everything that happens in the hours prepping for a long run, scenes along the way, and how I decompress/celebrate afterward. Enjoy!
