This was my third year in a row running Go Girl. This year was super fun because I got to come onboard as an official race ambassador. I also was super lucky to have Sharon Prothe and Calvin Whitmore as part of my support group to help with training. The goal was to elevate my training and then report back to you all with new tips & tricks that I learned along the way. Reference here & here for those little nuggets.
Since early August, I’ve been partnering with Garmin and came on board as an official ambassador. This means I will get to test and feature some of their watches and I’ll continue to use my Vivoactive HR. You may have seen some shots of my Garmin here & here.
Fusion Fitness is one of my favorite spots to sweat in Kansas City so I am super pumped to partner with them for my next event. This is my last charity workout event of the year for the Victory Project so you won’t want to miss this one. The last few months of the year, I’ll be dedicated to wedding planning and #2becomemyers.
Yoga on the Pitch at Children’s Mercy Park was a magical evening filled with sunset yoga + community. The weather ended up being perfect – breezy and shaded!
Yes, keeping a routine is essential to living a healthy lifestyle. However, the purpose of my blog is to inspire readers to try something new and when it comes to working out, shocking your body is one of the keys to success. Giving new workout methods a try and challenging yourself will push you to the next level so flirt with the idea of new fitness fads!
YAS we did it. The Huffington Post ranked Kansas City as the most exciting, “it” city in the United States. Most recently known for our sports success, the Kansas City Royals won the World Series, Sporting KC won the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, FC Kansas City won the NWSL title and the Chiefs made the playoffs. Beyond the field, KC is home to a load of up-and-coming local restaurants and yoga studios.
I had so much fun at my first charity workout event that I decided to plan another. Last weekend, I teamed up with MOJO Cycling Studio on the Country Club Plaza to host a Charity Glow Ride for the Victory Project. (Glow sticks were in the house!)

After much deliberation, I decided to give Rock the Parkway another go. It seemed fitting that this would be number 12 because the last time I ran this race it was number 2. They’ve opened the race up to a lot more participants so on Monday, I went ahead and registered. (In years past, it has sold out.) It is one of the larger half marathons in Kansas City and the crowd is always outstanding.
Week 7 of the Better For It Challenge is all about recovery. The Nike+ Training Club app has a 30-minute Reach & Recharge workout to help you reboot. The digital mini challenge is all about foam rolling, which got me thinking about the topic in general.
