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. …

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 …

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 …
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 …
Just Jump
This is my son Jack. He's 11. The photo on the left is of him contemplating taking a jump off a rock outcropping and the one on the right is after he's launched himself off into the crystal clear water below. I did this jump a few times and …
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 …
