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 …
Solo Running
There are many great reasons to run with others; safety in the dark or in the hills, camaraderie, and most importantly, when you commit to meet someone, you will be less likely to skip your workout. Running with a group or a friend will help you push to run a bit faster and it makes …
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 …

(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)!

Keeping on track
It's very tempting to let a lazy summer slip right by and take your workout with it! Do that and you may be in for a rude awakening come September if your jeans don't fit! Set a goal, plot a course and stick with your plan. Trust me, when fall comes around you'll thank me! …
30 Day Challenge Update
Day 25 and yep, almost there. I've been keeping track of miles per day and totals for each week and totals for the duration so I'll be able to share some of those stats at the end of my 30 days. I'll also share some interesting things I've noticed (running and non-running) and things I've …
