This morning a friend asked “Who puts National Running Day, just two days before National Donut Day?” Â Of course, I haven’t had a donut in who knows how long, but I get the concept of running so that you can enjoy delicious food (or bloody mary’s–I love those things). [...]

Dropping Down In Races
There was a sign yesterday that read “Bet you thought this was a good idea in March.” Guy with sign, I bet you have no idea how right you were. Back when I signed up for the ZoomaRun Annapolis Half I was all about it. The weather was perfect for training runs, I was looking [...][...]
Small Space, Rain Workout Solution
I have been home this month for a total of 10 days. This obviously has impacted my workouts and especially training for the ZoomaRun Annapolis Half on June 1st. (At this point, my PR goal is totally gone and I am basically thinking of it as a fun run.) So this week I am in [...][...]

Can’t Resist: Spring Runs, Chobani and More

Once You Go Minimalist
Can you go back? That’s question I am asking myself now that the Kinvara 4 has entered my life. From the second I opened that fancy shmancy packaging (kickassmus brilliant) I knew I was in for something special. One they are brilliantly yellow and hot pink. I note this because I’ve bee[...]
Everyone Is Burning More Calories
The online fitness community is really encouraging and helpful when you are looking for some motivation and inspiration. I’ve tried different classes because Twitter buddies have recommended them. Â I bought a HRM because I’d only seen rave reviews and how they helped improve workouts. T[...]
Weekend Warrior: Mind Prep for the Week
To put it in spinning terms…I’ve been on a slow steep climb up a massive mountain at work. There is a specific project that has been a year in the making and we are about to hit the peak and begin the incredibly speedy ride down. My days have been long, and my weeks even [...][...]
