I like challenges because they propel, push and move you forward or help pull you out of a rut. So dive in. Commit. With this challenge, there's something to do every day. Some days it's a little something, some days a little more. Print the calendar, post it near your computer, by your running shoes, …

30 Day Boot-Camp Challenge – Day 1
Today we kick off a 30 Day Boot-Camp Challenge. Here are the rules. Rather here is *the* rule for this month's challenge. Set your mind to completing the challenge. Set your intention. Set your mind. Write it down. See it. Do it. Here's today's workout. Warm up for 5 minutes (take a walk, a light …
And How Does That Make You Feel?
One thing I truly enjoy doing at night is a guided meditation. I find it relaxing, soothing and a helpful way to end my day. It is suggested, in a lot of the things I read, that meditation is encouraged in the morning to start one's day. But mediation makes me sleepy so nighttime works …
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 …
How to Keep the Vacation Vibe
The problem with going on vacation is that the minute you step on the plane bound for home, you lose your buzz. You're forced, at 500 mph, into your personal laundry list of tasks and to-do's that await you. Bummer. So is there a way, while navigating the necessities of your day to day reality, …
Get Out. Get Fit.
I can't remember the last time I stepped foot in a gym for a class or a workout. And I used to be a very devoted gym-goer. The bike, treadmill (oh yes I did), weights, aerobics, the pool, the locker room. Yep. Did it all. But now? Nope. Can't do it. Won't do it. I …
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 …
The 10 Minute Rule
Like you I don't always feel like exercising. If I have a class to teach or a friend to meet for a run that's different because people are waiting for me and I'm not one to disappoint. But when it's just me, myself and I, some days it's harder to get out the door. That's …
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 Bare Minimum – Travel Edition
I am pretty disciplined about my workout schedule. Even on vacation. Whether a 10 day Hawaiian getaway or a 4 day road trip, I set a plan to get in the bare minimum of exercise each day. Bare minimum? Yep. Just enough to break a sweat and stick to my schedule. Because let's be real …
