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 [...][...]

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[...]

Being OK With Imperfection
I thought the theme of being comfortable with imperfection was the perfect way to recap the 2013 Cherry Blossom 10 Miler. At the beginning of the week I just really didn’t think this race was a good idea. Work kept me so busy the last two weeks that sleeping was more a priority than training. [...]
Making a Runner Out of Him
Today’s post comes courtesy of my husband, someone I am determined to make a runner. When my wife asked I wanted to review the latest and greatest shoe from Saucony, the Virrata , I was filled with mixed emotions. I was excited to have the opportunity, but was nervous, because I’m [...]

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[...]
I Don’t Find The Time to Exercise, I Make It
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[...]
A little less running, a lot more dancing
You know how there are certain phrases that get songs stuck in your head? That’s what the title of this post did for me. I can’t explain it, but now Elvis’ “A little less talking, a lot more action” is running through my head (and now yours I guess). The first half of December has [...][...]
New Study: Fittest Reap Few Health Benefits
This morning I woke to find this Wall Street Journal article in my my Twitter feed. The “heart” of the research? “Running too fast, too far and for too many years may speed one’s progress toward the finish line of life.” Essentially, the British journal Heart publish[...]
Burning Off Those Thanksgiving Favorites
This afternoon I will be gorging myself on sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and some Kale stuff my mother is making. Plus my sister’s made from scratch apple pie. My mouth is watering right now. Thanks to FitSugar I now know exactly what I need to do to burn it off. Of course I hate [...][...]
2012 Runner’s World Run Streak
Monday Katie posted about the holiday run streak from Runner’s World and it intrigued me. Then I read the post that went along with the challenge and it really spoke to me: If you’re a training-plan devotee, you might be in the dead zone—your fall goal race is over, but it’s to[...]
