75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Races are super fun, super motivating and if you do enough can be super expensive! When runners weight the cost benefit of doing a race it usually comes down to a weighing of distance and how cool the shirt or medal is against the cost. We might realize that there are more costs involved for... Continue Reading →
I think we all have a couple of people in our lives that we are in awe of for some reason or another. Some people have some crazy wicked accomplishments and good for them! They might have built an empire for themselves, run marathons every other weekend or have the prettiest lawn and house around.... Continue Reading →
Runners are a different sort of folk. We all do certain things we’d rather not admit to but I’m pulling back the veil of secrecy today and spilling the tea! We might even tell you we don’t do these things but guess what we do. So if you’re a runner and you’ve always felt a... Continue Reading →
I wrote this week about being busy and how to survive a busy time. What I didn't talk about is managing the mental load of all that. Really the two go hand in hand. Now that I'm busy at my side gig again it really makes me appreciate how much of that honey must deal... Continue Reading →

Guess what you guys I signed up to run the Boston Virtual Marathon this October. It will be my first marathon which is something I made a lot of good arguments against in the past. But... who ever had 38 in the family pool you win the bet. Which is to say this moment has... Continue Reading →
When we think of people in our lives that are really fit and healthy we tend to think of the weekend warrior dedicated types. You know the people that are always posting medal shots of their latest marathon on social media. It seems impossible to imagine logging 50+ miles a week (and it very well... Continue Reading →
My partner and I want to make a lot of the same lifestyle adjustments, almost exactly in a lot of ways but often for totally different motivations. For example I don’t really care about paying a power bill, most people do it but it’s honey’s main issue with our electricity use. Does it matter because... Continue Reading →
For this one everyone’s definition of endurance will be different. For me this would include a half but someone else could run that with no extra steps. For obvious reasons virtual races really took off over the last year and for some they will be here to stay. For this one we are talking about... Continue Reading →
