75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
This week was unlike any I’ve every had before but not due to running or really any dramatic reason. If anything it was because of a really good thing! This was the first week in my life I’ve ever had a full time employee which might not sound like a big deal but it had... Continue Reading →
I haven’t trained for a new distance since 2018 and even though I previously wrote a post entitled ‘why I’ll probably never run a marathon,’ I’m doing it! So whoever had age 38 in the family pool your odds are looking pretty good right about now. Of course anything can happen between now and October,... Continue Reading →
Last post was all about reflecting on the summer that was. This picture was pretty much the high point in my summer fitness wise and it took me almost 2 decades to do it. What made it so cool, nothing really there's this local river I've always wanted to swim in and I biked there... Continue Reading →

I’ll put my hand up here and tell you that I’ve occasionally taken pain meds to help me get through long runs in particular even though I don’t think it’s a great idea. I’ll also bet that if you’re a long time exerciser you’ve done it too. If you’re a new runner starting out you... Continue Reading →
You may have noticed that each and of season I do a re-cap post about all my new favorite fitness finds. That does mean it’s a little late but here are my picks for last spring and summer. I have more than what I need now so I’m not always picking up new stuff the... Continue Reading →
There are a few things we're not telling you not because we're mean but they're so small we don't think of them. So let's change that!
This year of my own accord I somewhat admirably got into the habit (a bit) of getting up crazy early to run and it’s kind of stuck (at least sometimes). Now you don’t know me but if you did that last sentence would straight up blow your freakin’ mind. This past spring I had to... Continue Reading →
