We all face challenges– trials and hardships that rock us to our core.  Few people have dealt with more health challenges than a friend I met several years ago while running, Dov Siporin.  And even fewer can go through all he does every day, and still exude pure love, positivity, and inspiration.  You can’t meet […]

I apologize for my absence from Friday until today.  Over the weekend, I ran the St. George Marathon– my third full 26.2 mile race.  Wowza, what an experience and accomplishment for me.  After each race I run, I love to write down my experiences and thoughts.  Here is my 2013 St. George Marathon Race Report.

It’s no secret that if you are active, you will have aches and pains from time to time.  They go hand in hand.  But, what I didn’t know until well into training for my first marathon is that there is something simple you can do from home that can make a huge difference in your […]

Friday I had a very bad day.  I don’t know about you, but when that happens, my brain starts to come up with all sorts of excuses and problems and reasons why I can’t/shouldn’t workout.  Luckily I had already made plans with my best friend, Kristi, to get up and run at 6:30 the next […]

Last night I ran 3.1 miles.  And I felt fan-freaking-tastic. It’s not very far, I realize, especially considering that one 26.2 mile race I got into in October, but given how my poor body has been feeling lately, it’s a big deal for me. This time around training has proved to be quite a challenge. […]

There are many races out there, but Race for the Cure is one of my faves.  This year’s was beautiful and meaningful and magical.  It was also hard… at least for me.   I am not really in what I would consider fighting form at the moment, and boy, I felt every step of this one. […]

I would call myself a seasoned runner. I’m certainly no pro, but I’ve run two full marathons, more halfs than I can count, and through trial and error, I’ve collected some tried and true products. Think getting the right gear doesn’t matter? That you can pull out some of your man’s old basketball shorts, slap […]

I am not a runner.  For some reason, I have never found it enjoyable.   Exercise is a huge part of my life, but I would rather spend my workout time holding ridiculous yoga poses as long as I can, or chasing after a fuzzy yellow tennis ball. One of my personal goals for this year […]
