Finding Joy in the Journey
Whether you're a long time runner, or someone just getting started your race pace likely matters to you. While crossing the finish line or making an attempt is just as important, once you've been at it awhile, or once you're sure you can meet those basic goals, the time that you'll finish in probably ranks up...

We all have something to overcome, something that scares us, something that pushes us to succeed. Maybe that's all one thing, maybe they're all separate - whatever it is, we are created to have a drive...to achieve. It's part of what makes us human.For me, that drive often stems from fear. That's right; I'm a... Continue Reading →
It's Tuesday! That means yesterday was meatless Monday in the Pyne house. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite days for experimenting in the kitchen. Last night's menu? Red Beet and Spinach Ravioli with a creamy garlic sauce. The outcome? Delish. One child and husband approved. It's going on the "make-again" list! They... Continue Reading →
I have a confession: I have a disdain for coconut water. This is complicated because I know it offers one of the most complete solutions for hydration, especially for distance runners. In fact, it's been recommended to me by my doctor on multiple occasions as something superior to traditional sports drinks that are filled with... Continue Reading →
Alright, I've got to go out on a limb and say that out of the 3 weeks of the Move Nourish Believe Challenge, Week 3 was by far my favorite.

You guessed it; it's Tuesday which means yesterday was Monday...meatless Monday! The Green Shells were a big hit a few weeks back, so I went with something similar; tried to up the nutrient factor a bit and came up with this: Green Wonton Manicotti. Once again, it was super easy to make and went over... Continue Reading →
To start...Happy Valentine's Day! Whether you're celebrating with someone special, with friends or on your own; take the time to celebrate something! Have some fun, get creative and relax. We're definitely having fun here at our house: But, today was something other than a holiday. It was also the day to wrap up week two... Continue Reading →
Where are my Northeast Runners?! Unlike recent winters where it's been easy to take a workout or two inside, or gear up for a quick jaunt outside, it feels like Mother Nature has worked against us this year; we've been betrayed. While the sights have been stunning, the cold and the lack of road sides/sidewalks... Continue Reading →
We all know how it goes. The resolutions that come with January seem to fade as the month passes...then we're left with February...which isn't even a whole month...so why gear up for that right? The dead of winter comes and it's easier to slack off with some hot chocolate than to brave the cold. I... Continue Reading →
I have mixed feelings about the Biggest Loser, as I'm sure many individuals who have gone on their own weight loss journey, are involved in the fitness profession or have a love of anything athletic do. I love the trainers; I think the way they help contestants find what's really going on while pushing them... Continue Reading →
