My Heart-Related Health Scare #Running

finishline

I love this picture. It's grainy because I've zoomed in and I had to pay $14.95 to own the rights to it but it's all me and mine. This is me crossing the finish line at 10 miles at the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia on May 5th. It's hard to tell but I look happy, right?  Accomplished and proud?  I was.  And what I didn't tell in my recap was … [Read more...]

Been MIA Thanks to an Awesome Blog Trip with @Hanes to @Disneyparks #ComfortSummit

Has anyone actually noticed that I've been quiet the last few days?  Normally you can't shut me up! Man, what a whirlwind the last few days have been! We got back home last night after 5 days back down in Orlando for a press trip with Hanes. I can say without reservation that this was our best trip to Disney and Orlando that we have had as a … [Read more...]

I Came. I Saw. I RAN! 10 Miles! #BroadStreetRun Recap

20130506-092326.jpg

As I write this, pretty much every muscle in my legs aches in some small way.  I ran 10 miles yesterday at the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia!  I've seriously been wanting to be able to type or say that for years and never had the guts to sign up but did it this year.  And I am so happy to report that I crossed the finish line and that I … [Read more...]

Half a Day at #TypeAPhilly {And My New About Me Page!}

philadelphia

Last weekend, one of the better known Mom bloggy conferences - Type A - came to Philly for a day conference! I was thrilled when I heard they'd be in my own hometown stomping grounds so I signed up for the day. Many of my blog friends made a weekend out of it. My schedule has been just too insane to offer up any more time than a day trip into the … [Read more...]

A #MomMixer Photo Album: The Brands that Make it Fabulous

IMG_3750

A gorgeous day in Philly, 150 Mom bloggers & some amazing brands - what more could a girl want out of a social media party? My head's still spinning from everything that goes along with planning an event and I'm still in cloud nine about how great Mom Mixer was last weekend. Today, I thought I'd bring you some more photos and a bit about … [Read more...]

Boston. #Running

bostonrunner

Yesterday morning, as I was running my 9 mile training run, some 26K+ people began running the Boston Marathon.  No easy feat to even get in, they have to qualify just to cross the start line.  As a runner, I am in awe of those people.  Training to run a 10 mile race has not been easy and I can't even fathom going 26.2.  They are running … [Read more...]

Coming Down from Mom Mixer – A Big THANK YOU #MomMixer

IMG_3665

Yesterday was a full day for me; I was in in Center City Philadelphia co-hosting Mom Mixer.  This is our second Mom Mixer event at the Hyatt at the Bellevue.  And again, I have to reiterate how it really does take a family of people to support one of these events. So before I really dive in with sharing photos and details about everything from … [Read more...]

8 Miles, Baby! And, Tips for a Successful Training Run #Fitfluential #Fitness

20130408-105311.jpg

It's entirely possible my legs won't function tomorrow, but right now I'm feeling pretty good because I just got back from an 8 mile run. (!!!!!!! WOO!)  This is the longest I've gone to date and I've really been slacking with the Broad Street Run training.  So much, in fact, that I've really been starting to doubt my ability to do it at all.  With … [Read more...]
