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 …
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 …
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 …
The 10 Minute Rule
Like you I don't always feel like exercising. If I have a class to teach or a friend to meet for a run that's different because people are waiting for me and I'm not one to disappoint. But when it's just me, myself and I, some days it's harder to get out the door. That's …
Halfway Point
Back in late 2016 I read something in my news feed on Facebook about running 1000 miles in 2017. And it sounded like a great goal so I decided to go for it. The only hitch in my giddy-up was except training for the CIM I'd never been good at keeping track of mileage …
The Bare Minimum – Travel Edition
I am pretty disciplined about my workout schedule. Even on vacation. Whether a 10 day Hawaiian getaway or a 4 day road trip, I set a plan to get in the bare minimum of exercise each day. Bare minimum? Yep. Just enough to break a sweat and stick to my schedule. Because let's be real …
