Thank Goodness For GPS on Phones and Other Things I Felt Like Chatting About…

It always makes for an interesting morning when you see your bus drive away right as you’re walking up to catch it on your way to work.

Welcome to Thursday, people, welcome to Thursday!

Memorial Day Weekend in Review – One Sentence Per Picture… Well Sort Of…

Hey there!

I’m coming to you a little later than normal this week with my weekend recap since I also had Monday off from work and was busy busy busy all day on Monday with my mom and aunt working on decorating my apartment some more. Thankfully I have people who love me and are willing to drive over an hour to help me hang pictures in my apartment because who knows how this weekends’ projects would have turned out without them!

Get Your Spin On: Flywheel Class Review    

Hey there!

I’ve recently had the chance to try out a few different Flywheel classes through ClassPass and wanted to share my experience so you know what to expect incase you are thinking about checking it out for yourself. I’ve been dying to try out a Flywheel class ever since I became obsessed with spin classes about a year and a half ago, so finally trying one out was definitely on my list of must do items when I finally moved to Seattle.

Living The Sweaty Life with Strala Seattle & ClassPass

Hey there!

Last week I was invited to a ClassPass event at Strala Seattle and since I always love checking out new-to-me classes, I was excited to give it a try. I invited my friend Jenica to join me and we met up after work for a little exercise induced stress release.

I did just enough research to find out that we would be attending a yoga class, but didn’t do any digging after that. I figured I’d been to enough yoga classes by now so how different could this class be from any I’ve attended in the past? Boy was I wrong!

A Look Back At 2014

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I wasn’t originally planning on doing a year in review recap since I didn’t start A Couple of Dashes until August, but after reading a few by other bloggers (Lake Shore Runner, Meals and Miles and Run Eat Repeat), I decided I would be sad if I didn’t have one to look back at next year. My year was filled with some crazy highs and lows. I lost some old friends and made some new ones, let go of some dreams that could never fully make it to fruition, but also saw some dreams I never could have imagined before come true. So here’s a look back at all the shenanigans I got into in 2014! Let’s get to it!

10 Tips For A Successful Hot Yoga Practice

Hey there!

I got the chance to check out a hot yoga class for the first time in years last week, thanks to ClassPass and I wanted to share my experience with you in hopes that it will make checking it out for yourself a little less intimidating. I’ve always loved hot yoga and but stopped going a few years ago because memberships at hot yoga studios can be insanely expensive and I didn’t want to form a habit I couldn’t afford to keep up. When I realized there was a hot yoga studio in my area that participated in ClassPass, I did a little happy dance at my computer and reserved my spot in class immediately. (If you’re interested in more information on how ClassPass works, check out my review here.)
