This morning a friend asked “Who puts National Running Day, just two days before National Donut Day?” 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). [...]

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
I can’t resist running in this weather. I am literally exhausted with tight quads and an aching back and the mid-60 weather and clear blue skies call to me. I am still getting used to running in my Kinvara 4 from Saucony and because the weather was super perfect I ran a bit longer in [...][...]
Exercise As A Threat?
Over the last few years we have acclimated to seeing calories next to our favorite food items. At first it seemed to deter some people, but eventually you just shrugged it off and ate it because you wanted that personal-size Uno pizza that is like a 1,400 calories. (Not me, because I just can̵[...]

An Evening With Jillian

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. 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 [...][...]

Down Doggin It
Sundays are my favorite days to have “me days.” There is usually some pampering, but my absolute favorite thing is exercising for multiple hours. I know that sounds strange, but I’ve gotten really good at shutting off when I am working out. I focus on the moment and whatever ridicu[...]
No Off Season
Last week on my favorite fitness inspiration show (The Biggest Loser), Bob was wearing a shirt that read “three days on, one day off, 365 days,” and I thought isn’t that an interesting perspective. I am by no means a cross fitter fanatic. I just haven’t been able to get into [...]
