Vine Body Sole

Time to share my adventurous journey from last weekend in Napa! I ran with Team Asics for the ASICS Vine Body & Sole Half Marathon and had a blast in Cali! I’ve ran a few halfs before, but this was a super special weekend-long event that included everything from yoga, to wine tasting, a fitness training challenge, and finally, the half marathon! But this was not your average race location, our backdrop was beautiful wine country where we were surrounded by gorgeous vineyards, delicious food and lots of wine as we prepped for the big day.

Our first fitness challenge to kick off the weekend was a hard-core 90 minute workout class led by Anna Kaiser, founder of AKT in motion. It was a full body workout combining cardio, strength training, and stretching that was actually harder, in my opinion, than the half marathon! We worked our butts off to a great playlist with a heart pumping, high-energy routine that kept me motivated and psyched to sweat and push myself ’til the end of workout. We were focusing on working muscles that we wouldn’t typically use during a run to balance and strengthen us before we hit the 13.1 mile course.  And, after all the hard work were rewarded with an avocado toast bar and a delicious wine tasting to fuel-up and have some fun. Next up, was sunset yoga and more wine!

Friday night it was time for some sunset yoga in the vineyards to stretch out and “wine down” before race day. It was just what my bod needed to loosen up and keep calm to mentally prepare. It was a perfectly cool night with a little breeze and just enough sun to set the tone for a perfect practice. After class, we showered up and got ready for the pre-race party at yet another vineyard with great live music, drinks and yummy food to keep our bellies full and to get us pumped up!

The big day started bright and early Saturday morning at Beringer Vineyards and ended up at the Charles Krug Winery. It was a little overcast and cool, but perfect weather conditions for 13.1 miles. Not to mention, it was the most gorgeous course for running with beautiful wine country along side us the whole way. We also got to meet and hang with ASICS athletes Deena Kastor and Alysia Montano (above) for a little extra motivation and inspiration.

I ran in the ASICS Gel-Kayano 22 Lite-Show, my go-to running sneaker for most runs. Because I over pronate, these are perfect for me to get the support I need without a heavy shoe to weigh me down. And, they’re super comfy and come in so many bright colors so I can be spotted from miles away!

This was truly an amazing experience. I met so many strong, beautiful women and hope to train for another race very soon. Thank you ASICS for this exciting opportunity and having me be a part of such an inspiring, empowering event.

Today is our second installment of: CO-HOST SPOTLIGHT on @offthegrampodcast!! 🥳 And our girl Jamie Hess, AKA (@nycfitfam), 👏🏼 is talking about “loving your hustle,” because no one does it better than her!💥 HINT: accountability buddies are a game changer!👯‍♀️
.
She’s done it ALL! 🙌🏼 From working two decades as a high-level Public Relations pro with major clients like @WHotels, @LinkedIn, @McDonalds, @Barrys and more, to creating her health and fitness Insta account-turned-360-lifestyle-brand, @NYCfitfam and 
being named one of the "7 Fittest Couples on Instagram" by @WomensHealthMag 👊🏻 leading to her current career on TV. 📺 
.
But we wanted to know all the deets and that “special sauce” ✨ for growing her business🤔, how she’s applied learnings from the corporate world into “influencer life,” and most importantly... how the hell does she maintain ALL THAT energy⚡️ & passion while balancing six jobs, one husband, two kids, and a pandemic??🤪 TUNE IN!!🎙

In light of all that has happened this past year, it was so important to us that today - on #MLKday - we took time at @OfftheGramPodcast to spotlight the inspiration & hope that exists in this moment as we look forward together. 🙏🏼
.
Today’s show is about PERSPECTIVE. ✨We all watched in horror as 2020 dragged on, and JUST when we thought things couldn’t get worse….. BOOM.🤯
.
@GenevaSThomas is not only one of our girl crushes for being the ultimate #BOSSBABE, but she delivers the kind of message that we ALL need to hear right now. 🙌🏼
.
Media titan, champion for women of color, and boundary pusher, we’ve had our eye on Geneva and her powerful message for a while now, especially her unique ability to always identify the “TEACHING MOMENT.”👏🏼
 .
Tune in 🎙to hear some REAL TALK with Geneva to help us move forward together. ✨
.
No matter where you sit culturally, socially, politically and beyond… EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US should be asking … how we can do the hard work to “put this all back together”… and to leave it better than it was before.❤️

I recently read this and wanted to share... “The human body resonates at the same frequency as Mother Earth. So instead of only focusing on trying to save the earth, which operates in congruence to our vibrations, I think it is more important to be one with each other. If you really want to remedy the earth, we have to mend mankind. And to unite mankind, we heal the Earth. That is the only way. Mother Earth will exist with or without us. Yet if she is sick, it is because mankind is sick and separated. And if our vibrations are bad, she reacts to it, as do all living creatures.” -Suzy Kassem

When I first spied this rainbow sequined masterpiece 🌈from @theamandaperna x @bitsystonekingshop I was BEYOND beaming!💫
.
It was the most “NYCPRETTY” skirt I’ve ever seen! 👏🏼And  perfect for a skate date at @bryantparknyc! 👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼So the hubs (@johnherr) and I enjoyed a sparkly #NYC night on the ice.⛸ 
.
And bonus points for skating being  the best full body workout EVER! 👊🏻 I was sore in all the right places the next day.😂 I highly recommend it for a new year activity.👍🏻
.
⚠️Masks were required and worn the entire time but we snapped this video when the ice was cleared and we had the rink to ourselves to shoot🙌🏼.
