(No)Bake Your Own Protein Bar Protein bars are an integral part of life for any athlete, and more and more for regular people. Protein is critical to staying lean, energized, and healthy. But commercial protein bars can be as bad for you as candy bars, and filled with all sorts of crazy stuff. I found…
Hey, you know what I’m grateful for? Abs. Abs are a THING for me—this long-standing goal, this pursuit of perfection, this symbol of a better life. It came to a frenetic finale as my quest for abs went public, with Cali and I proclaiming that we’d have abzzzzz for Puerto Rico. We procrastinated on the…
It has come time to bid adieu to the subscription workout clothes service I have been with through many iterations. In my most recent post about Ellie, I compared the relationship to a love affair. Well, the ups-and-downs of the love affair are too much and she has become the addiction I know I need…
Like a love affair, my relationship with athletic clothing line Ellie has had its ups and downs. Ellie.com started as pv.body, which took excess inventory from top brands and sent a surprise top and bottom every month to subscribers for a low price.

Y’all already know I freakin’ LOVE pv.body, the subscription service that mails you surprise workout clothes every month. It’s great quality gear that motivates you to MOVE! As an update, I’ve also exchanged an item and was pleased with the ease of the process. You also know I’m a huge advocate of fitting exercise in…

On my recent travels, Cait made me go on a 4-mile run and a 6.7-mile run. This, for a girl (me) who hasn’t run longer than sprints since she ran a half marathon from Aspen to Basalt in Summer 2010. Erm, without training. To be clear, I love running in new places and seeing new…
