So say you are starting out on a new health and fitness plan. You've grocery shopped for fresh produce, lean proteins, low fat dairy items, whole grains and maybe some dark chocolate to savor. You may have joined a gym, downloaded the Couch-2-5K app on your iWhatever or signed up with an awesome, kick butt …

Seek and ye shall find
I have an opportunity to train with some very strong and dedicated ladies. Three mornings a week they drag themselves out of a warm, cozy bed and come to Boot Camp. They show up in the rain, in the bitter cold of January (ok - to clarify we live about 20 minutes north of San …
Enjoying the View
“I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it.” ― William ShakespeareThis was where I went to run yesterday morning. I drove about 20 minutes south from my house for a solo run at Blackie's Pasture in Tiburon, CA. The bike path is flat and runs along the Tiburon Penninsula offering spectacular views …
Pity Party, Table for 1
Yuck. I have been dealing with this skin thing, this condition I've been calling "mange" for about a month. It started out as some bumps on my neck and chest that looked like a swarm of mosquitoes had descended on me in my sleep. But the bumps didn't itch, they were just bumps. A few …

Musings on Training for a Race
My husband Brad (whom I love to bits) came home after playing golf yesterday and I asked him how his game went. I listened for a few polite minutes then had to fess up that I was only asking out of polite curiosity. I mean the man can go on for a looooong time about …
Why do I run?
So I get asked a lot about my running. What I'm training for, where I'm running, how far I'm running. One gal even asked me if I was the person she sees running by her house all the time. I recently joined up with a running blog community and someone wanted to know something that …
How To Get An Extra 15 Minutes Each Day
I am an early bird. I like to get up early (some say obscenely early) so I can have an hour of quiet time. I drink coffee, watch trashy reality tv, check emails and get some paperwork out of the way before I teach class at 5:30am or go for my run. While getting up …
Why Recovery Runs are Important
When training for a race, each of your training runs serves a purpose. My training plan has an easy run, run at race pace, long run (at a slower pace) and then the beloved recovery run. The recovery run is the one component I used to consider optional. For the past few years I've learned …
Happy Monday!
