Finding Joy in the Journey
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. It focused on Believing and looking inward to find real strength, at least that's what I took from it. The daily challenges were as follows:... 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 →
As a female runner, finding products and accessories that are made for us, affordable and durable can be a challenge. So often, it feels like we're an afterthought to male-centered gear.

I love the trainers; I think the way they help contestants find what's really going on while pushing them... Continue Reading →
Alright folks. You've heard me complain about the snow (my heart belongs somewhere south 🙂 ). But, today I decided to enjoy it, to appreciate it and to get out there. My conclusion? It's gorgeous out there...take the time to enjoy it before round two hits tonight! My run was pretty straightforward, 6 miles give... 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 →
For those of you who have been following me online for the past month or so, or have seen me in person during that time, you know I've been entered in ZOOMA's Run to Napa contest for a chance for myself and a reader to win a trip to ZOOMA's Women's Half Marathon in Napa,... Continue Reading →
I'm loving this contest...I hope you are too! Having said that, it's time to announce giveaway #2... To me there's nothing better than online shopping without a hassle...or curling up with a good book on my Kindle. For that reason, I'm giving away one of my favorite things...a $25 Amazon Gift Card. You know the... Continue Reading →
