It’s countdown time! Exactly one (calendar) month from today, I will be running my first real destination race. And what a destination — gorgeous Half Moon Bay, California. To make this “first destination race” experience even sweeter, the HMB Half Marathon will be my first race as a new member of the Oiselle …

Yep, I like all kinds of hot drinks — black and green teas, chai, mulled wine and hot apple cider around the holidays and even plain … Continue reading
July has been an absolute whirlwind for me. Work is keeping me as busy as I’ve been all year (not a bad problem to have in a down-ish economy, to be sure), which definitely cuts into my personal time, which in turn cuts into my exercise AND blog/interwebz time. Ugh. But, I’m still here! Hope … Continue reading
It’s summertime! Here in Alabama, this means steamy blacktop with lots of humidity and often more rain than I would like. We’ve had rain here for a few days and more predicted for tomorrow, the 4th of July. Keeping my fingers crossed, though — sometimes Mother Nature is an indecisive b*tch and we … Continue reading

Update: My very first giveway of a pair of Lock Laces is in the books, with Kimberly taking the prize! Congrats! So, some friends in real life have asked me, “OK, so do you have a fitness/running blog, or is it a music blog?!? I can’t tell.” All right….I will be the first to … Continue reading
Racing + Music Festival Attendance….I’m going to put this out there up front: these are two parts of my life that I frankly never thought would come together in one weekend. But for Bonnaroo 2013, they did! If you aren’t familiar with Bonnaroo, there are few better ways to explain it than to say it’s … Continue reading
(If you aren’t following me on IG, check out my page and if you like it, give me a follow! http://instagram.com/workouttowineglass) Early AM run with my favorite Auburn running buddy KBC; nice way to start the weekend. A nice 7 miles before the humidity and heat of the day set in. Passed by “Bad Tiger Drive” on … Continue reading
I have been singing and humming this song to myself ever since the awesomely weird Sonya Tayeh used it in her partner jazz combo for the Vegas Week episode of “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 10. Sonya’s piece itself starts around 3:45 if you want to check it out in the youtube video below. Some of … Continue reading
In honor of seeing A$AP Rocky performing last weekend at Bonnaroo, here are two pretty great remixes of his track “Wild for the Night.” We didn’t stay for his whole set on Sunday; it was a bit too crazy….as evidenced by the people hanging off the rafters (!!!) These are equally as NSFW as the original; … Continue reading
As a lurker in fitness/healthy living discussions for a while now (my own lack of formal health/physiological education generally nudges me to keep my mouth shut and listen), I’ve noticed that the “coffee vs. no coffee” debate seems to come up every so often. For all of the coffee fanatics out there who … Continue reading
