What do YOU love about running? The silence? Your Ipod? The trails, the flats, the heat, the chill of a foggy morning? Love the way it keeps you trim and fit, how it sculpts your legs? Do you enjoy being able to eat that brownie guilt free or grabbing a beer with your friends after …

Family Style
I consider myself to be an active person. I run 3 or 4 days a week, do bootcamp 2 or 3 days a week and walk up a few of the local trails in my neighborhood. My husband Brad is an active person too. He plays golf a few times a week and likes (likes?) …
Pet Peeve of the Week

You've earned every calorie you're about to eat (within reason) so you can indulge a bit. Here are a just a few of my favorite post-run breakfasts and where to go to get them. 1. …
Later Never Comes
As a reminder, if you are not disciplined with your exercise schedule, you won't have one. A common mistake most people make is that they plan to do their workout "later". And as we all know, later can mean in 20 minutes, 20 days or never! Have you ever told your child you'd buy the …
