How To Manage A Long Run
If you are planning to run a long distance race in the near future you have already done a few long runs. If you are lucky, you have a group or at least a buddy to run with. Having a buddy along for the ride makes a long run seem, well, less long. It gives …
Back to School!
My daughter starts school on Tuesday. We've had a fun summer but unfortunately didn't get to half of the things I really wanted to do. Without a schedule to adhere to our entire family loses it's focus and we are what can be best described as "floppy". Should we go here? There? Nowhere? Should we …

Remember Tae Bo?
The other day I was lamenting my lack of sleep and motivation to go workout. I was torn between going to Boot Camp or going back to bed. In the end I chose to work out but I didn't go to Boot Camp - instead I turned to Tae Bo. Yes. Tae Bo. In the …
Should I Sleep or Should I Go?
I am an early riser. When I say early, I mean really early - 4:00 or 4:30am early. I know, it's crazy. When I worked for the hedge fund, I would have to get up that early to get myself to work by 6am. You would think that because I don't have a full-time job …
