The December Run Streak – Night Running

After injuring my lower back by deadlifting a large box of decorations (tip - bend your knees), I began my running streak aiming to run 1 mile daily from December 3-31. As I've learned from previous December streaks, I don't always have time during my regular workouts to get that mile in, so I will …

The November Challenge: Movement

Yesterday we completed the Nutrition Challenge (and we'll unpack that challenge later this week), but today we kick off our November Challenge, where we'll tackle movement. It's the simplest of all challenges; your goal is to do some intentional movement/activity for 30 minutes daily. Take a 30- minute strength class, walk, do three 10-minute walks, …

Training Update

My race (now virtual) is on Sunday, October 3rd and this past weekend I ran 8 miles. 8.19 to be exact. My goal was to get a 9 miler under my belt before the race but at this point, going from 8 to 10 miles isn't a huge push. It might not be the prettiest …

10 Things I Love About My Peloton

I've had my Peloton since August 11th. Well, now it's "the family's Peloton" - we all have accounts and when I come home from teaching boot-camp there's usually a Honsberger family member's tuchus parked on it. Since I posted about my love affair with my Peloton a lot of people have asked me about it. …

Is a Virtual Race In Your Future?

2020 was kind of a bust as far as competing in races. Most events were flat-out canceled and others transitioned to a virtual event. My cousin's husband was scheduled to run the London Marathon last year and it was postponed not once, but twice and then it went virtual. His course consisted of large loops …
