Just Live Your Life, No Telling Where It’ll Take You
I am amped. I just came off running my first half-marathon relay and, as of today, I am officially and publicly a member of the Eat.Blog.Run. team. In many ways I can’t believe I’m here. A year ago I was twenty pounds overweight and getting my only exercise half-assing it at soccer once a week on a co-ed team. Thanks to my friends Kristen and Bill and all of the other Shredheads,...
Read MoreTraining on vacation. Or not.
I live in somewhat-mild weather so I have no decent excuses for avoiding my runs. But avoid them I do. In the morning, is simply too dark to run alone. Or while my husband was sick (and unable to run for a month), I thought it better to keep him company than to seize the opportunity for extra training runs.

Plus, the rolled oats in this yummy concoction make it a practical choice...

After running with my friends at these blog conferences, I suggested to Jon that we try running together. He looked horrified. So, I still don’t have a buddy. This hasn’t really bothered me. Ever since I started running last summer I’ve been...
Read MoreApparently I Love When People E-Yell At Me
A lot of people ask me why I’m on Twitter. Next time someone does, I will point to this post as an example. This morning, feeling rather lazy and cozy inside my office but knowing very well that it has been exactly 9 days since my last run (to my credit, I was in the Bahamas for four of those days…), I posed this question: And here was the response to that tweet, as well as to...
Read MoreLess Walk, More Rokk!
Whenever I feel myself starting to slow down, wanting to walk, I turn to this song, Less Talk, More Rokk by Freeze Pop, (made famous by Guitar Hero II and a super fun song to play). The song starts out with a slow beat, then slowly speeds up, getting faster and faster, forcing you to pick up the pace. It gets me back to running every time. So here’s to Less WALK, More Rokk!! Amazon.com...
