Meet Holly 
I'm an independent writer and this is my personal health and fitness blog. Here I detail my journey with running, yoga and well-being. I live in Cleveland, Ohio, with my husband, our dog Lulu and half a dozen houseplants.

On Saturday, May 4 Lulu and I ran the first annual Run Puritas 5K in Cleveland, Ohio.
Official Time: 36:51 Average Pace: 11:51/mile Overall Placing: 34/46 Age Group Placing (Female 20-29): 2/4
The truth is I am in horrible running shape right now.

April 24th, 2013 Are you a runner? Do you race? Do you already run with your dog at home?
Maybe it’s time to consider a dog friendly road race. I’ve been thinking about doing this with Lulu. We wouldn’t be running for competition, but more for fun. Lhasa Apsos are not

March 20th, 2013 Since adopting Lulu I’ve noticed she’s a little yogi.

Before we get to the run, on Friday…
I went to the Ohio Blogging Association January meet up at Noodlecat, a Japanese restaurant in downtown Cleveland. I had a large order of steam buns (which are basically miniature burgers/sandwiches) as the karaoke began. Yeah. Karaoke

Lulu has some kind of dry skin/allergy issue going on.
She’s been scratching like mad and pulling her fur out. Now she has a hot spot on her back end. I feel for her so much! I just want her to be healthy and without distress. I

I know many of you are pet owners too, or may be considering owning a pet in the future.
As a result I’ve decided I’m going to try to write monthly Lulu-related posts. Having a furry friend is a great way to strike healthy balance in your

December 19th, 2012 I’ve been wanting to post all week but haven’t had the attention span to do a topical post.
But on the other hand I felt like I was due for general update on the “current state of affairs.” Like many of you, I’ve been anxiously preparing for

November 28th, 2012 I often read and hear people talk about how the number on the scale does not matter.
It should be about overall health and well-being – not what the scale says. It should be about how well your clothing fits and how strong you are. I understand where

My blogging absence this week has been with reason.
Last Thursday this little lady came into our lives….
Meet Lulu
We adopted her from the Cleveland APL. She is a 2-year-old Lhasa Apso/Mix. We are not sure on the mix but our
