Finding Joy in the Journey
We've had a lot going on lately. You know from previous posts that a lot of my focus has shifted from working out to getting through and figuring things out. We have become a forward-focused family. From planning for a move into an uncertain new life (which has MANY ups as well as downs!) to... Continue Reading →
If you've been following along, you know that this blog has taken a little bit of a turn. Sure, it's still about fitness, good food and healthy living, but, there haven't been a lot of personal running stories, race recaps and reviews. There's a reason for this! This chapter in my life has been about... Continue Reading →
This year feels like it has packed enough into it to fill many, many years. From a lot of travel, job changes and family changes to many super "highs" followed by super "lows," I am beginning to understand what people mean when they say that life sometimes feels like a roller coaster. You know what... Continue Reading →
Whether we're close or not, you probably know that I've had some, well, apprehensions about our upcoming move. Regardless of where you are in life, uprooting yourself, your family and everything you know and starting over can seem like a massive endeavor.

Sometimes decisions are just hard. There's no other way to put it. Many of you have probably noticed that my blog has been a little - okay a lot - less active than usual. It has a lot to do with decisions! Sometimes things come up that aren't expected. We've been going through a lot... Continue Reading →
Days are getting longer, the world is a lot greener and the temperatures are starting to rise: summer is just around the corner. I've heard a lot in my own community - new and old runners alike talking about how the heat is starting to affect their training schedules. Instead of looking at the heat... 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 →
There's not a lot left to say other than that at this point. Except to maybe throw in one of these: Today one of the worst possible things for a blogger happened...my server went down. During a restore (which I do not totally understand), I lost all posts since January 6. That's a lot; a... Continue Reading →
