This time last year, I was counting down the days to the ING New York City marathon. This year, I am counting down to our wedding, which falls the day before that very same marathon. I felt a pang of jealousy this weekend as I…

Today: A weekend at home.
Home Alone My older brother and sister-in-law celebrated their wedding anniversary this week, which meant Nick and I got to babysit our niece for the first time. We partied like animals, singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star while changing into PJs at 6:45 PM and reading…

Today: My fairy WODmother. {and a Reebok #getafterit giveaway}
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]The downside to being an adult is that when something breaks, you sort of need to fix it (or in many cases, have it fixed… because you don’t always know how to repair machines). Our water heater peaced it on Monday night, making…

Today: Handstand push ups? Handstand push ups.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Two words I never thought I’d be so excited to see paired: handstands and push-ups. Like most girls who spent hours and hours perfecting their underwater handstands, turning cartwheels across the beach and performing very amateur gymnastic “shows” as a child, I can…
