Fitness Friday #41: Fuel Your Life
Usually, when I talk about ‘fuel’ I’m referring to post-workout recovery. Like, bananas. But it takes more than bananas (or insert whatever you like to eat after a workout here) to keep your fit. It takes attitude. It takes focus. …

As part of our Mini-Moon Adventure (we took a few days off work after the wedding to explore Roanoke, VA!), we knew we wanted to hike McAfee Knob. McAfee Knob is the one of the most photographed points along the Appalachian …

2014 in Review
This is one of my favorite posts to write each year (here’s 2013 in review, for fun). I’m not always a fan of ‘looking back’ — I much prefer looking ahead. But I think it’s important to understand where you’ve been …
