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 [...][...]

Sweaty is Pretty
*This post is sponsored by Under Armour through FitFluential* Last year when Under Armour Women launched their “What’s Beautiful” campaign I immediately jumped at the chance to sign up. I started knocking off challenges, even taping myself after seriously sweaty work out sessions.Â[...]
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
When I think about spending an evening with Jillian Michaels, I immediately think buckets of sweat and a fierce attitude in your face. So I was skeptical when I heard about her “Maximize Your Life” tour. I know she offers motivation in the form of one-on-one talks on Biggest Loser, but t[...]
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[...]
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 [...]

Having One of Those Weeks
I’m having one of those weeks. You know the kind where no matter how hard you push yourself (in work and in life) you don’t feel like you are crossing off anything on your to-do list? Â I knew the weeks leading up to April were going to be rough. I have a client expecting [...][...]
It’s Nutrition Month!
When I was working on a campaign for a diet company, we tagged March as the month diets die.  February is just disgusting when it comes to weather and  keeping track of what you are putting in your body has just become tedious. So it seems perfect that March is National Nutrition Month. You are [.[...]
A TRX Date
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[...]
