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 …

Work It
I run an outdoor fitness program. And when I talk to people about the program there's a mixture of responses but over half go like this. Is there running? I don't run. So I explain that yes we do run but that you can walk, run/walk, etc. The main goal is to move and we …
Stuff I Luv
I'm often asked about certain running gear, products, and stuff in general. Here's a partial list of the things I have, use, read and love. Garmin 405 Watch It tracks my stuff, is pretty easy to use and the face isn't so sensitive that I can mistakenly reset it on a run. Granted it's older …

One Mile at a Time
Monday started my 9th week of training and I'll be honest, I was a bit tired from the trail race last Sunday. Overall I felt good but my calves were talking to me a bit on Tuesday when I went out on my run. A reminder of the 2 mile uphill grind from the race …

How to fix what ails you
I've always said I don't want to stop running because I never wanted to start again. The last time I had to start from scratch was after the birth of Jack, now aged 7 and I've kept running every since. Of course I've waxed and waned on my mileage and frequency, but haven't had to …

Courtesy of Runner's World! Because sometimes we need motivation from the experts! "Working hard becomes a habit, a serious kind of fun. You get self-satisfaction from pushing yourself to the limit, knowing that all the effort is going to pay off. " Mary Lou Retton, winner of the All Around Gold Medal in women's gymnastics …
