Greetings from the Rail

by ashleyd on May 17, 2012

Greetings from somewhere between Providence and Boston!

This afternoon I was supposed to take the 3pm Acela from Penn Station to Boston. I was looking forward to the fast trip, soft chairs, reliable Internet, and relaxing three hour train ride. Instead, my train was delayed 3 hours due to an unfortunate track mortality. But, Amtrak was amazing and squeezed me onto the Regional Rail train leaving at 3:15! Amazing!

While I waited for the train I munched on a delicious salad filled to the brim with beets, cranberries, mushrooms, chicken, and mixed greens! I also picked up a dozen fresh New York City bagels while at Zarro’s because let’s get real, Team Off Balance runs on bagels, iced coffee and bananas!

During the four hour trip I worked, blogged, read this month’s People and Runner’s World magazines, and sipped on this beauty!

Five Bamboo Giveaway

by ashleyd on May 17, 2012

As promised, it’s time for another giveaway!

While I’m not necessarily enjoying views like this anymore, I’m definitely digging one of my favorite items from last month’s Hawaii vacation.

001

My friends at Five Bamboo shipped me their Elusive dress in a beautiful, bright watermelon color as soon as they heard I was heading on vacation. The perfect dress for traveling on vacation or a day in the city, it is comfortable, long enough for my 5’9 1/2 frame, and quite flattering. I ended up wearing this out to dinner two nights and one day on a city excursion.

Luckily, the gang at Five Bamboo is super generous! They are not only willing to give all Healthy, Happier Bear readers 20% off any purchase using the code (healthyhappybamboo) until 5/31/12; but also giving away one Elusive dress to a lucky winner!

It feels so wonderful to be back in Athens, Georgia. There is no doubt that some of my fondest memories are still, to this day, in this wonderful college town where there is the perfect downtown a block from campus and a famed, historic North Campus which was where the oldest state university started classes [...]
