Let's face it, we are in a financial pickle. The stock market, the auto industry and their $34 billion dollar (yes, billion) bailout request, foreclosures, unemployment...what a mess. When times are tough economically, people turn to their local charities and churches to help. Unfortunately, their resources are stretched and relief doesn't look to be coming …

‘Tis the Season
Christmas is less than three weeks away - boy that crept up quickly. I love Christmas. From the piney smell of Christmas trees to the red cups at Starbucks. I love when my neighborhood comes alive as lights twinkle on the houses (I even briefly forgive my neighbors that bring blight into our street by keeping their …

Bored at the Gym? Try Boot Camp
If you read any running magazine or fitness magazine, you will no doubt read about the benefits of strength training. Most people associate strength training with going to the gym and hitting the weight room. I'd like to offer an alternative to you, my fellow blog readers. Have you ever heard of a Boot Camp? …
Today is Jack's 3rd Birthday so this is dedicated to him! I love ya buddy! In 2000, I read an article in either Self or Shape magazine. The story was about this woman from New York who, with minimal running experience signed up for and ran a marathon with Team in Training. I remember clearly …
Today’s Your Day
Today I would like to remind you that the next 33 days will be filled with temptation. You'll be tempted to eat more and move less.

Shake Your Tailfeathers, It’s Thanksgiving!

I'm not too technically advanced. My cell phone is usually at the bottom of my purse either turned off or with a dead battery because I forgot to turn it off. I can text, albeit painfully slow and I barely know how to IM through Gmail. I have an Ipod shuffle that I use for …
Fake It Til You Make It
I don’t feel like running this morning. I would rather sit in my jammies, drink coffee and read my book. I would also rather wave a magic wand to clean my house but we know that that’s just not gonna happen. Not wanting to get out the door for a workout on a given day …
Sunny Side Up
The benefits of running first thing in the morning for me are two fold. I get it done before I’m awake enough to realize I should still be sleeping and secondly, it’s off my to do list and don’t have to find a way to fit it into my day. Working sixteen years for a …
