So how was your 2016? Did you reach a goal, make a change, improve in some way? Did you spend more time with your kids, less time at work, or did you walk away from an unhealthy or unsafe situation? Did you make a new good friend, drop a negative or toxic one or broaden …

Run and Done. Now What?
So I've been in the post-marathon meh phase. The race is done, the medal hung, the race number pinned to the wall with the others. My body is recovered, any soreness or aches have subsided, people are tired of hearing about it and the race photos came out and as usual, they are awful! …
The CIM – A Recap
Do you want to know what was running through my head at Mile 19 on the marathon? "Wow! 19 already?" And here's what was running through my head at Mile 23. "Thank God I don't ever have to do this again". It's funny how your thought process can shift in 4 short miles. But that, my …
Holiday Hustle Weekend Edition
I'm on my way to Sacramento, CA so I can run the California Intl Marathon on Sunday. And since I'll kind of be out of pocket I'm posting Saturday and Sunday's Holiday Hustle Challenge Workouts today. Day 3 - Total Body Blast (Saturday 12/3) 25 repetitions of each (1 or 2 times through) Jumping Jacks …
Final Full Week of Training
My final, full week of training is done. The Plan I had to do some jiggering with my schedule this week since I was not going to do a tempo run on Thanksgiving Day. As everyone knows, that day is reserved for our Annual Turkey Trot. I pushed that run to Friday morning and then …

By incorporating core work such as planks, plank variations, pushups, as well as other body weight exercises such as inchworms, mountain climbers and yes, burpees, you are strengthening your midsection. And this is …
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! Today was our annual pumpkin workout at boot-camp. It just goes to show that you can get a great sweat on with or without any traditional equipment. We're *this* close to November and we have some big things planned. You know we talk a big game here about healthy eating and exercise. In …
Following the Plan
Today was a really rainy day in my neck o' the woods. Luckily I don't mind the rain. And even if I did, it wouldn't matter because I don't have a back up plan for my training runs. So into the dark and rainy morning I went and 8.42 miles later I sloshed back …
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 …
