The Early Bird
There is an old cliche - the early bird catches the worm and you know - when it comes to working out, that's me. See I am an early riser and someone who has the most of her energy in the morning hours vs. the afternoon or evening timeframe. I wake up bursting...and ready to do something. That is why an early morning run is the best for ...

Heart Rate Monitor Watch
About 3 weeks ago I posted about losing my beloved Sportline heart rate monitor. I have no idea how I lost it.  I went running with a friend from college, documented my workout in Runkeeper and then went to the grocery store. We returned, we made smoothies and then she was on her way. Well I looked high and low for that puppy and could ...

In The Gym with Jaquelyn Kastelic
I first read about Jaquelyn in a fitness magazine. It was near the end of last year and there was this article about a petite woman who lifts MASSIVE weights so I read her story. I was impressed with her ever since. I have "liked" her page on Facebook, figured out when I will be able to try her Crossfit "box" located in Virginia (haven't ...

Are We Done Yet Workout
So today we hit the Smith Machine pretty hard. I was a bit winded due to the extended weekend of lazying around and hanging out at the amusement park but I got up early and pushed on. Didn't help that I only got about 5.5 hours of sleep last night. I know I know I must do better but was watching the movie "Contraband" and just had to see ...
