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 Other Four Letter Word
Running injuries don't usually come on like a mack truck. They usually start out small. Quiet, like a whisper. You may feel a twinge, a tingle, a dull ache or stiffness. Sometimes they work themselves out or are resolved with some extra stretching or by implementing a solid warm up and cool down. A pack …
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 …

Hating on Heat
I don't like to run in the heat and I definitely don't perform well in the heat. And this fact was confirmed in April at the Ragnar So Cal event. I had 2 long legs, a 12.2 miler and a 9.8 miler starting at 2:00 pm and noon respectively. Both runs were on sunny days with …
Off to the Races
We're deep into Spring and that, boys and girls means it's prime running season. And more importantly, racing season. I've got 3 races in the bag so far (a 4 miler, a Ragnar and a 10 miler) and 5 more planned. Here's what I have on the books. Angel Island Adventure Race - Angel Island. …
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 …
Boston 2017
So I was getting ready for work yesterday and flipped over to the tv coverage of the Boston Marathon. (I love Xfinity's voice-activated remote control "find Boston marathon". It's the best thing ever.) The broadcast had a split screen (kudos to whatever station I was watching!) so you could see the Elite women and the …
Checking In
Here's a life hack to help you reach your goals. It's called a check-in. It can be weekly, every 2 weeks or even once a month. And all the check-in involves is re-establishing your goals and identifying what you need to do to stay on track. Because I'll tell you, it's so easy to let …
