75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I lived in this community that I run in now for most of my life and I always knew it was beautiful. I mean why else would the tourists come every summer? It does wind around the ocean and is full of rocky shores, beaches and darling coves full of boats and wharfs. But I... Continue Reading →
Now this one is going to be running specific so like the movies any similarity to other sports is entirely unintentional unless you found it helpful. If that’s the case I meant to do it on purpose then. Runners, even those that claim to have loved it often times find themselves lapsed. Maybe they get... 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!
I’m kinda excited to write this one because this year I can compare what I actually did to what I said I was going to do, hint it’s more. I think it’s pretty important to plan a race season so you don’t blow your budget (fail), stay injury free (check) and actually accomplish your main... Continue Reading →

This little doozy has been sitting on my to write about list since the spring but I kept putting it off. Not for the reasons you might think like shame or decency but rather my mom started reading this blog in the spring. So sorry mom but it’s just got to be done! You might... Continue Reading →
It's true that there is no magic formula do this then that and bang boom you’ll go faster then ever before. Your average runner has about seven years of potential for getting faster before they top out speed wise but the thing is that isn’t as dire as you’re thinking. It not your first seven...

One of the places I hang out online are female focused running groups on facebook. Sometimes I even get ideas for posts there and if you don’t at least lurk there I highly recommend it. It is what you think it would be but every once and a while a lady will post about how... Continue Reading →
