Channel your inner bad-ass

It's not uncommon to get into a rut with your fitness program.  Whether you run, take classes, swim, walk or ride your bike there are days when we don't push quite as hard as we should or cut 10 or 15 minutes from our workout or even (gasp) skip it altogether. We're all human and …

5 Reasons To Run

Happy Friday everyone!  Here's my top 5 reasons to run today. 5. You never come back from a run without at least one problem solved. 4. Sweat is nature's skin detoxify-er. 3.

I (Puffy Heart) Running!

One foot in front of the other

As I shared last week, I was getting ready for our 16 mile run in preparation for the upcoming Big Sur International Marathon.   The good news is that I finished the run but it was by far, one of the worst long runs I've had in a looooong time. But like I've said before, sometimes …

Why running rocks!

I started my 5 miler this morning in a stinkin' foul mood.  My 6am running buddy bailed on me so I had to re-jigger my schedule so I could run when it was kind of dark instead of pitch black, my kids were the Bickerson's and I had a few frantic minutes where I thought …
