Read MoreTwo Years Since #MyBootcamp and My Journey to Wellbeing Began
Today marks two years since I took responsibility for my personal wellbeing and embarked on a newfound journey to improve my health and fitness. A much overdue physical with the doc led to some harsh truths: 10+ lbs over weight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure (borderline meds), and an inflamed liver. I was more than a little bit pissed off with that news, hell I was only 33 — how did...

Read MoreBidding a Farewell to DCeventjunkie!
It’s with a healthy blend of sadness and relief that I announce the retirement of DCeventjunkie. What began as a personal Twitter account in 2009 grew into a very successful events blog gathering 12 regular contributors, a slew of advertisers, and multiple recognitions and awards. Over the past three years our writers and articles have been quoted by The Washington Post...

Read MoreWeekend Getaway: St. Michaels Maryland
This past weekend Lee and I slipped away to St. Michaels in Maryland, a short two hour drive from DC/NoVa. It’s a beautiful, quaint town on the Chesapeake Bay with the ideal blend of relaxation and entertainment. We stayed at The Inn at Perry Cabin, a “charming colonial mansion” by Orient-Express, right on the water. Our room was garden level (easy assess for Ajax — yes,...

Read MoreSpring Fit: HUGE Goals for April!
Ever since my achilles tendentious cropped up last July I’ve been struggling to keep up with my fitness goals and be my healthiest self. After months of therapy and zero exercise (per doctor’s orders) I tried my first run early winter — and failed. My leg wasn’t ready and the pain persisted for several more weeks. At this stage I could have gone back to spinning, or light...

Read MoreSpring Cleaning: Breaking up with Wine
It’s the first day of Spring! Last year I cleared out my closet. This year I’m cleaning up a little more than that… I’ve dealt with chronic hives for almost 3 months now, and multiple doctors and tests later I’m still at a loss as to the cause. Next up the endocrinologist — I’m pretty sure it’s tied to the under active thyroid, sure it’s...

Read MoreNike Did It Again! Gearing Up for the Women’s Virtual 10K This Weekend
Nike nailed it. I wouldn’t give them $150 to join their first women’s marathon in DC, but shelling out $40 for a cool shirt and a virtual experience was a no-brainer. Not that we’re comparing apples to apples here — it’s a long road from 6.21 to 26.2 — but you get my point. This idea was so simple, yet so brilliant. You use one of their tools, run on your own...

Read MoreWhat’s worse than the total agony of being in love?
Remember I said 2012 was the year of facing fears? I didn’t write a list of them at the time, but said I was starting with public speaking. Now it still scares the shit out of me but I continue to face it, challenge myself, and am a stronger person because of it. Something else I’m petrified of is love. When I resolved to face my fears earlier this year I didn’t put...
