Turning the big 3!

Just over three years ago, we decided to make a big change and moved from San Francisco to Portland.

Goodbye San Francisco, so long!

We packed up all of our belongings (and our brand new puppy) and made the drive up north, leaving behind friends and family, and more than a decade’s worth of connections, friendships, and community.

  While I instantly loved our new city, apartment, and of course…

Five things Friday – freaky Friday edition

In my opinion Fridays are the very best day of the week. It always feels like the end of something great – an accomplishment, if you will – like that feeling you get when you’ve checked off your t0-do list…

  And even though you know you need to start a new to-do list….you also know that it can wait..until next week.  #amirite or #amirite?

And this Friday, I’m eggspeciallyexcited because I have…

United Relay 5K race report!

I have to admit, it’s been an insanely long time since I’ve signed up to run a 5K. In fact, it has probably been over 15 years (maybe even more?!??).

I’m sure I’ve raced a 5K distance in the middle of a relay before– but when you’re running 3-4+ times in 24 hours – it never actually feels like a 5K and I’m not sure its truly the same thing. On that note, if anyone is looking to join an ultra team…

Peanut, peanut butter…and jelly…smoothie, that is!

Go ahead and sing it with me…peanut, peanut butter…and jelly! First you take a scoop and you dip it, you dip it, then you scoop the Protein Superfood into your blender, your blender.

Ok, enough already. HA!

Back to the smoothie recipe…

I’m really loving all of the fresh, juicy berries right…

The Flex & Flow RunWild 30 miler recap!

This past Saturday, I ran the entire Wildwood trail in Forest Park (Portland, OR) for the second time this year, the second time ever, actually. The first time I ran the entire thing was only a few short weeks ago (on New Year’s Day, to be exact) and I did it solo, unless of course you count the 7 or so miles that Abbie (my dog) ran alongside me or the few times my husband came and jogged me in…

Calling all Portland runners…let’s get WILD!

Come on all you crazy mountain runner folk.

It’s time to grab your muddy kicks, stuff your face with rice balls and peanut butter toast, Honeystinger and GU, and get your drank on with some SOS Rehydrate. Make sure to don your long socks or maybe even your long beards, trucker hats, and best wicking attire…. because its time to get WILD(wood) with the Flex & Flow run club this Saturday, January…
