I Love My Fitbit!

November 15, 2013 by Ericka

I've always been really bad at watches. I've had multiple running watches but always end up leaving them in a drawer in the end because I can't figure them out. I don't get it -- I'm cursed. These days, I usually rely on the RunKeeper app on my hone to keep track of what I ran.However, there's another little toy that I didn't know I would love. I was recently sent a Fitbit from Verizon to test out. I wasn't sure if it would be my thing. Luckily, it was easier to set up than any of the watches I owned and has a lot more cool stuff.I just downloaded the Fitbit app on my iPhone from the app store, then charged the Fitbit. Once it was fully charged, I slapped it on my wrist and went about my day.Let me tell you, those number tallies can get … [Read more...]

SKORA Running Shoes: Give Them a Try!

October 13, 2013 by Ericka

I hope you guys aren't sick of shoe reviews yet! Well, I had the chance to test out yet another pair and I was excited to do so because this is a unique, new brand that was created with genuine focus for runners.After I reviewed Altras recently, SKORA asked if I might be interested in checking out another brand I hadn't heard of before. Well, truth be told, I had heard of Skora but knew nothing about them. I had no idea they'd only been around a few years and good for them for breaking into a tough market.Since reading "Born to Run" awhile back, I have been a fan of the more minimalist shoe. I've tried everything from totally minimal and barefoot to fully padded. I've decided I like the more minimalist but not completely barefoot.SKORA … [Read more...]

Tony & Joe’s Georgetown Fun (And Balance Gym!)

October 2, 2013 by Ericka

Me, Amanda, Maggie, MichelleSo I know it's been a full week since my birthday but I still wanted to share with you how I celebrated with friends. Schedules are hard to work out these days -- us busy ladies in our...30s.But -- we make it happen and I love it. After walking around the Georgetown Waterfront last weekend, I knew that's where I wanted to brunch it up with the girls.We met at Tony & Joe's on this beautiful Sunday. I didn't know it was a "brunch buffet" -- so I was a little disappointed. I'm a weirdo and just do not like buffet style meals for some reason.But we were there and so I went with it. We sat at a cute table by the open door patio right near a live band. I was in a funky mood so the music was actually a little too … [Read more...]

September 27, 2013 by Ericka

**Here for the contest? Scroll down for rules on how to enter**First things first -- let's talk about workouts. Mine have a little out of whack lately because of this back issue I'm  having. Good news is the chiropractor says I can still run -- but physically not possible for me to do anything with barbells, box jumps, etc.  I am  really sad to have to forfeit CF right now but after seeing this video about Lindy Wall, I definitely felt inspired that I'll be back at it again soon:A Week of WorkoutsSaturday: "Charlie's WOD" at CrossFit -- push-ups, box jumps (modified for back), pull-ups, thrusters (modified to squats for back), T2B...Sunday: Rest DayMonday: Rest DayTuesday: Rest DayWednesday: Ran 11 miles @ 8:34 … [Read more...]
