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 …

Get It Done
I plot. Create a plan. Put it down on paper (always on paper). Then I get to work. Does my plan always go as planned? As I expected? Um, no. But here's the thing. I know this is going to happen because the reality is, running isn't my job. I'm not getting paid to run. …

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.

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 …

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 …
B-Ack! to Training
School starts in two weeks which brings up mixed emotions. I LOVE summer but I also LOVE structure and summer with the kids home blows that up. They're old enough to be free range; one works, one burns his eyes out on his Xbox and I can get to the office when I need …
How to Eat an Elephant
If you want to do anything; lose 25 pounds, cut out sugar, eat more fruits and veggies, you have to break the big goal down into smaller goals. If those are still too much to handle, smaller still. I mean, let's look at Michael Phelps. Even though the guy has a hundred gold medals, you …
