I ran the Maui Marathon (www.mauimarathonhawaii.com) with TNT back in 2002. It's hard to believe that it was a decade ago! It remains one of my favorite races. The views; spectacular, the Hawaiian people; so nice, the course; some hills but pretty mild. I would definitely recommend this as a destination race! I've been back …

The Yoga Challenge Continues
So we are on day 18 of my 30 Day Yoga Challenge and all is ok. While I have not noticed much improvement in the bendy department I am enjoying the poses and am finding what kind of yoga works for me. I like when the instructors give exact detailed instructions on where to move …
I (Puffy Heart) Running!
I like to run. Some days I run slow. Some days I run fast. Some days I run hills and some days I run around the block and call it a day. But there is one thing that's a given, if I start my run in a foul mood I will bet my Garmin 405 …
Quote of the Week
While I've not had the pleasure of qualifying for the Boston marathon, the joy of achieving a goal for any race rocks! I love setting goals and doing my best to achieve them. Training for and qualifying for Boston was one of the things I'm most proud of. It was very emotional for me coming …
The CIF Plan of Attack
As much as I'd like to tell you otherwise, you have to work to achieve your fitness goals. Running hard for one week does not a marathoner make, nor can you eat clean for three days and expect the weight to melt off. I know - thank you for the super news Ms. Killjoy. So …

Yoga Nation
So I just completed my 5th day of Yoga and I have a few comments. (First, let me preface this by saying that my yoga 'class' consist of me following along Yoga classes provided by OnDemand via my iPad and I'm sticking with programs that are under 30 minutes because of time constraints.) With that …
And the challenge continues…
I have given much thought to my next challenge and then as I posted the 30 day running results it became crystal clear. I'm stiff as a board and as hydrated as the desert and that a 30 day challenge to improve both of these situations would be a perfect fit! So here are the …
30-Day Challenge Stats
Yesterday I ran my 30th day in a row and completed my first 30-day challenge. I received a lot of support during this past month, which was great and I was surprised to hear from a few people who thought I already ran every day. (The truth is I’ve never run more than 4 days …
Declare YOUR Independence!
Today we celebrate our nation's independence from the tyranny of a foreign country. (My British family members call our fight for independence "the rebellion" so it's fair to say that there are always two sides to every story)! But, back to my point - today we celebrate our nation's independence and while we're all red, …
