In the spirit of giving thanks I'd like to share a few of the reasons that I am a grateful runner. My family gets my running. My kids greet me in the morning, not with "good morning" but with a "How was your run?". If I'm in my pj's when one of my kids wander …

Ten Years in the Making
My first post today is a shameless Birthday plug to my son Jack. He also answers to "buddy", "J. Hons", "boo-boo", even "AlexaBradCharleywhoever". As the youngest in our family he's learned to roll with most anything 🙂 He possesses a wicked sense of humor, enough sass and sarcasm so he can keep up with the …
All Trot, No Turkey

Fat Facts
I'll admit it, I'm a fat phobic. I read food labels and zero in on the fat grams. Often putting things back on the shelves if the fat grams inch above 8. I do the same with recipes. I use spray instead of oil to saute and "canola oil" spread instead of butter. Deep frying …

Stairway to Heaven
Ok travelers, here's my second hotel workout. First of all, a fun fact. In my hotel, there are 80 stairs from the first floor to the 6th floor. (In case you're not familiar, these stairs are normally used in case the elevator is out but also they make a great place to workout.) Warm up …
