First week of training is in the books! I was on vacation in Memphis, Tennessee and it was around 105-110 degrees everyday and in the 90s at night!

I'm doing it again! That's right...training for another half marathon! The timing is right, too. My weight loss efforts have been at a standstill for about 2 months and I've even gained weight!

You see...while I was on a little "run-cation" I really got into other forms of exercise. I was getting my cross train ON! ;-) Zumba, by far, turned out to be ...
How To Stay Motivated
I remember first committing to a more regular workout routine. I was excited and felt I could take on the world! Even though I was not at my physical peak I felt STRONG! I engulfed myself into fitness by subscribing to magazines and IN MY HEAD seeing and doing the exercises. And then after about a month or so...the feeling wanes and I ...
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 ...

Fitness For Beginners
You know - I need to take a step back. I have been participating in exercise and fitness since 2005. I started running outside at that time. Stopped exercising for a few years in 2006 and 2007 to have my son and started back up in 2008 by hiring a personal trainer. She patiently taught me the various exercises and proper form and started ...
