I’ve wanted to try SoulCycle since they first came to Washington, D.C., but until now none of their locations were convenient. That changed a few weeks ago when they opened a studio in Georgetown, just a few blocks from my office. When a colleague arranged a free trial class for a group of us, I jumped on the chance to see what all the hype is about, and now I can share my own SoulCycle review.
I ate my fill of turkey and stuffing over Thanksgiving weekend, but I never get enough apple pie. I won’t bake pie again until Christmas, but this baked oatmeal recipe includes the best flavors of apple pie and is a nutritious and delicious way to tide me over until our next holiday celebration.
Now that the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone and the year-end craziness is festivities are upon us, you may be planning to live on take-out and Christmas cookies for the next few weeks, but that’s no way to fuel a healthy holiday season. Luckily, Runner’s World has a great new cookbook that is full of healthy recipes you can make between shopping trips and holiday parties.
As someone who tries to #RespectTheBird and avoid all things Christmas before Thanksgiving, I applauded REI for deciding to close on Black Friday and encourage its employees and the rest of us to #OptOutside. My favorite outdoor activity is running, but I have to admit that my motivation has waned as the mornings have gotten darker and colder. The RunChatHunt has come along just in time to give me another reason to lace up my shoes and get outside.
So, what is RunChantHunt? RunChatHunt is a running scavenger hunt going on from today through January 1. Find the items on the list while you’re out on a run, snap a picture and share on Twitter using the #RunChatHunt hashtag. Creative interpretations and fun photos are encouraged. I’m in it for the fun, but there are lots of great prizes from RunChat sponsors–see the list and read all the rules at TheRunChatHunt website.
Here’s a peek at my entries from last year.
If your family is anything like mine, your Thanksgiving dinner may not be much like the nostalgic image below, and may not play out like the Pillsbury ad where the only argument around the dinner table is who gets the last crescent roll. As much as I am looking forward to having both of my kids home and gathering around the table for our Thanksgiving feast, I also am worrying whether we will get through the meal weekend without interesting discussions turning into heated debates or well-meaning words causing hurt feelings.
