I'm Lauren and this is a blog dedicated to living life with a healthy balance. I love to run, strength train, bike and just be downright active. I'm a marathoner as of April 24, 2010 and am currently looking forward to qualifying for the Boston Marathon.
I absolutely love to eat and enjoy great food but doing it all in moderation. You'll see healthy, organic foods on here frequently but you'll also run into things such as pizza and sweets. I believe you can have it all... just not all at once.
I'm always learning and discovering new foods, recipes, workouts and ways to live a healthy lifestyle. Join me on my journey towards becoming my healthiest self.

It’s only 8:30 at night and we’re already back from our Derby festivities. Party animals, aren’t we?! I’m a wild woman, let me tell you. Bedtime at 10? Doesn’t everyone go to bed that early? I was sent home early from work, which I expected so I headed home, washed my hair, painted my toesies [...]
