Work has been picking up progressively, which means my workouts have become sporadic. If I don’t plan my workouts in advance I don’t have time to just jump over to the gym for a spin class. Basically it just isn’t going to happen. Being uber busy also means that I am more likely to[...]

Running & I Are Going Through Something
I’ve had a really hard time getting back into the running game. At first I thought it was because I didn’t have a race to train for. Then I signed up for and got into the Cherry Blossom 10M. This triggered signing up for two other races…the Zooma Annapolis Half and the Capitol Hill[...]

Fitness DVD Review: XTrain Super Cuts

This week has been rough with work and something had to give….and it wasn’t going to be exercising because if I have learned anything about myself, it is that I need to exercise especially in times of high stress. So since I put blog writing on the back burner this week; here are some in[...]
Exercise, The Cure For Foggy Brain
Have you ever had one of those days where no matter how much caffeine you take in or walk breaks you take you just can’t shake the fog? I had a day just like that recently. I couldn’t remember if I had packed my keys and I was holding them in my hand. I was [...][...]

Buying a Workout DVD
So we already know I have a fitness DVD addiction. It has taken me some time to figure out which ones work best for me and why. I have some duds that I have done once and never picked up again, and I have others that are my “at home gym” staples. With new options [...][...]
