In September I decided to get back to the mat for yoga. My practices had gotten fewer and farther between and I missed Yoga with Adriene (www.http://yogawithadriene.com/) and her dog Benji. I also really missed the practice of yoga itself. And because I'm weird I can't do anything just to do it, I need to …

Run to Raise Money for Schools
I like a charity run as much as the next gal. So check out this local run that not only raises money for local schools but offers kids and adults alike a chance to get out for a run, walk or stroll on October 15th. There's a timed 5K Run/Walk, a 1 Mile Fun Run …
Who’s Ready for Week 4?
I love a 30 day challenge. I know, you've heard. I find them very motivating and enjoy the act of having something to do every day. If, however, you've been floundering here's a little secret. Making a conscious decision that you are going to stick with a challenge for 30 days is the challenge. Ahhh …
Get It Done
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. …

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 …
Rah Rah
If you want to see me giddy like a little kid at Christmas all you need to do is tell me you want to do some kind of endurance event, a race, have set a goal, or are working on a challenge. My little brain starts spinning, I perk up and I want to know …
Halfway Point
Back in late 2016 I read something in my news feed on Facebook about running 1000 miles in 2017. And it sounded like a great goal so I decided to go for it. The only hitch in my giddy-up was except training for the CIM I'd never been good at keeping track of mileage …
The Reach
Goals are important to me. They are tangible things I can work towards and that really suits my personality. I don't do well when I'm not pointed in a direction. Besides, I'm a validation-whore who needs to have these accomplishments in my memory bank. Or posted on Facebook. No surprise there. I've got some …
Runners Rule
Tuesdays and Thursdays I run with my friend Stephanie. We stick to the same route, distance and run at a pace so we are able to catch up on each other's goings on while we run. We also find random stuff funny, often funny enough to double us over laughing. Plus we share an appreciation …
