New Year Hype is Here

As the great motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once shared in a presentation; a resolution is actually a confession. Think about it.  A resolution to lose weight is confessing that you are out of control of your eating.  A resolution to get organized is a confession that you don't have a handle on your life; paperwork, …

Tune Out Tech

I don't know about you but I find myself a little too plugged in.  My smartphone is often close by and I spend a lot of time scrolling through my FB feed or checking email when there's a lull in the checkout line, before a movie starts or even sitting on the couch with my …

A Year in Review – 2015

Overall, 2015 was a good year!  Sure, there were hiccups and some challenges, but that's life.  And since I'm a glass-half-full kind of gal I thought I'd share some of my "greatest hits" of the year.  New Year's Day Run - This annual run is a one-person event that takes place in Pismo Beach.  While …

I Knew I Forgot Something!

Maintenance Running

Boot-camp on Saturdays and soccer games on Sundays had cut my weekend running for the past 2 1/2 months.  Soccer is a running game but it's not a steady consistent run.  It's stop, start, run fast, jog, stop, start, etc. for 90 minutes.  Sure my fast-twitch improved but I'm a distance runner and to be able …

The Best Part of Your Day

I did the Dipsea stairs and ran some of the trail this morning with a good friend of mine.  We had climbed the stairs, ran up behind the houses and popped out along Panoramic Hwy.  As we crossed the street and started down the trail she remarked that this was the best way to start …

Or maybe your vacation was to visit family and friends far and wide.  Regardless of what you did or where you went, you most likely relaxed your exercise, eating and drinking habits.  It's all …
