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. Some days it's a little something, some days a little more. Print the calendar, post it near your computer, by your running shoes, …

30 Day Boot-Camp Challenge – Day 1
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 …
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 …
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

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 …
How to Run
First let me state the obvious. People make running way more complicated than it needs to be. Sure, there's cadence, pace, foot placement, etc. but for a new runner it's all Greek so let's keep it simple and just focus on what to do with your body when you run. Ok. Start running. Now …
