I hate to be the bearer of bad news but your summer is over. Kids are either already back to school or starting any time and your "Oh, I'll get back to my workouts when school starts" excuse is sadly, lame. Sorry. It's been a long day. So unfreeze your YMCA membership, log onto your …

If I'm not training for an event my workout intensity drops dramatically. Now that doesn't mean I stop exercising but I'll be the first to admit that my weekday runs will drop from 5 or 6 miles to 3 or 4. And if I can get in more than a 6 miler on a Sunday …

Stop That Creep!
The creep of holiday poundage, that is. Contrary to what one might be led to believe, there are only 4 holiday days; Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year's Day. If you celebrate Hanukkah, then you have to add in 8 days, but you get to back out Christmas and Christmas Eve so you're still …
