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.

I can’t tell you the last time I sweat that much. It was insane! And then we did a full 12 minutes, non-stop, [...]

I didn’t want to overload myself with leftover pizza for lunch considering we had 4 nice size pieces leftover from last night’s dinner so I had one decent size piece and sliced it in half. I wanted a huge salad to go along with my pizza so I loaded it up with feta and veggies! [...]

I was too pumped to bike home tonight because I knew I was going to be able to run for the first time since the marathon 9 days ago! I found out why my toenails were hurting me so badly and once I fixed it, because I’m such a good nursey nurse, I am feeling [...]
