About

My name is Corey – yes, I am a runner (who loves cookies) – and I started this blog is to share my ongoing journey to living a balanced, happy life.

Running is one of my favorite things to do. It has brought me so much joy and has allowed me to grow in ways I would have never expected. I started how most people do – by running up the street. Throughout college, running became stress relieving, a way to explore the city I lived in, and I gradually fell more and more in love with it.

In my junior year of college, I trained for and ran my first marathon. So far, at 22, I have completed 4 marathons, and hopefully there are more in my future. As much as I love to run, my body thrives when I balance running with yoga, strength training, hiking/walking and other fun forms of fitness.

I also enjoy writing about what I eat, simply because I love food and enjoy discovering new things and seeing what works best for my body. I have shifted from posting most meals to posting just my recipes and certain meals. The main reason? I realized I was not being true to myself when I was posting every bite I ate. For more on this topic, see this post.

Mostly, I enjoy writing about how overall physical wellness fits into my everyday life. Currently I am between undergrad and grad school in the psychology field, living in the Boston area, and just trying to figure out what’s next for me!
