The Strength of Faith: Exercise Rut

I am an ordained minister and a food blogger. The combination is pretty epic. Welcome to The Strength of Faith!

A little bit about me ...

I live in Southeast Massachusetts with my husband and our 4 year old gray tabby cat, Lilly. I am a 2007 graduate of Ursinus College and received a Master of Divinity from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in 2010.

I recently started my ministry as the Senior Pastor of Rehoboth Congregational Church in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. They are a wonderful group of people who minister to me as much as I do to them. Every day I continue to be amazed at the unexpected grace I find in my life.

This blog documents my life as I try to figure out what it means to live faithfully and mindful of my health in a world full of distractions. I post my workouts and pictures of my daily eats in order to help me find balance in my life. I post recipes as I seek to develop creativity in the kitchen. I am on a lifelong quest to be happy and healthy.

Thank you for stopping by – I look forward to getting to know you!

Exercise Rut

You know what I love?

Having fresh ingredients for a salad in my fridge. :)

You know what I don't love? The fact that I haven't done a lick of cardio in weeks.

I really need to get back on the horse! Anyone else in an exercise rut?

Oh my gosh! That salad looks SO good! I really need to jump on the exercising wagon! My problem is that I love eating and hate exercising :-(

I am totally in an exercise hiatus. Week before spring break-literally booked and can't fit in a workout more than one day. Last week-home for spring break-don't have my gym...though I did run outside one day. This week-sick! :( boo

You need to find a workout buddy so it's fun and you have some motivation to go out:) The salad looks delicious...

I ran all through the early winter in very cold temps! The last three weeks I got this flu type bug that is going around and no running boo. I ran today for the first time again and my knees were killing me! I dont usually have knee problems. I am a little nervous because training started for my 10k run and I am two weeks behind now!

Sarah I run a 10K called Zooma. It is a womens race series. The one I run is in Annapolis, Maryland. I am from Delaware about 2 hours away. Zooma has a run in Atlanta have you heard of it? The race is so well organized and at the end you get a keepsake necklace-fun! Ran 2 miles today and felt much better-Yea! Sherri
