I love a 30 day challenge. I know, you've heard. I find them very motivating and enjoy the act of having something to do every day. If, however, you've been floundering here's a little secret. Making a conscious decision that you are going to stick with a challenge for 30 days is the challenge. Ahhh …

Here Comes the Sun
Welcome to Day 10 of the 30 Day Boot-Camp Challenge. Good job! Yesterday I ran a 9.6 mile night trail race so I'm looking forward to today's workout; Sun Salutation. It's a great practice to start your day but it can also be used as a way to wind down in the evening. You can perform …
30 Day Boot-Camp Challenge Calendar
I like challenges because they propel, push and move you forward or help pull you out of a rut. So dive in. Commit. With this challenge, there's something to do every day. Some days it's a little something, some days a little more. Print the calendar, post it near your computer, by your running shoes, …
30 Day Boot-Camp Challenge – Day 1
Today we kick off a 30 Day Boot-Camp Challenge. Here are the rules. Rather here is *the* rule for this month's challenge. Set your mind to completing the challenge. Set your intention. Set your mind. Write it down. See it. Do it. Here's today's workout. Warm up for 5 minutes (take a walk, a light …
Lace up for Races
I ran in The Giant Race yesterday in San Francisco. My 10K time, while not great (in my opinion) landed me 17th out of 274 runners in my age group; F 50-54. I have about 2 weeks of consistent, but light, training under my belt since coming back from vacation so I didn't expect quick …
It’s Coming
Many of us have had a busy and full summer. Mine sure was and it was a lot of fun. But school's back this week and it's time to, you know, get back to business. Wouldn't it be great if we had a 30 day challenge? Well, lucky ducky you because we're kicking one off …
And How Does That Make You Feel?
One thing I truly enjoy doing at night is a guided meditation. I find it relaxing, soothing and a helpful way to end my day. It is suggested, in a lot of the things I read, that meditation is encouraged in the morning to start one's day. But mediation makes me sleepy so nighttime works …
How to Keep the Vacation Vibe
The problem with going on vacation is that the minute you step on the plane bound for home, you lose your buzz. You're forced, at 500 mph, into your personal laundry list of tasks and to-do's that await you. Bummer. So is there a way, while navigating the necessities of your day to day reality, …
Get Out. Get Fit.
I can't remember the last time I stepped foot in a gym for a class or a workout. And I used to be a very devoted gym-goer. The bike, treadmill (oh yes I did), weights, aerobics, the pool, the locker room. Yep. Did it all. But now? Nope. Can't do it. Won't do it. I …
Rah Rah
If you want to see me giddy like a little kid at Christmas all you need to do is tell me you want to do some kind of endurance event, a race, have set a goal, or are working on a challenge. My little brain starts spinning, I perk up and I want to know …
