NCR Trail
Every Saturday the ladies of Femme Fitale get together in either a small or large group to walk and run outdoors. Â We normally do it early in the morning to get it out of the way, it is quiet and much cooler than if we waited later in the day.
Today.....me and one Fittie will be headed to the NCR Trail which is a beautiful and lovely trail near ...

Workouts and Hair

I do not get my hair professionally done on a regular basis outside of a ...

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 ...
FFF Challenge #3: Eat at least 3 servings of fruit
I hope everyone participated in last week's challenge and adopted it as a new healthy habit. Eating breakfast daily is extremely important. The women of Femme FITale participated in large numbers consistently and I am very happy about that. Today is the start of a new weekly challenge.

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 ...
Is It Over Yet Workout
I recently started running the neighborhood with one of my neighbors. The entire run is 3.65 miles and includes hills with varying grades. The first hill is extremely STEEP! Anywho we both workout with trainers on Tuesday and Thursday and decided to run together on Wednesdays and Fridays. Well she texted (sp?) me last night wanting to know ...
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 ...
