What Are You Training For?
I was out today on a wonderful run with my pavement warrior sister. I picked her up early (6:30 am) and we were hitting the trails by 7:00 am on the dot. I run ahead and hit mile marker 4 and on my way back I pass her, show her the 4 sign and stop and wait for her about .75 miles back to mile marker 3. A woman drives up in a truck, gets ...
All I Do Is Win
Honestly - that is not true. I do not always win or am number one in everything I do. Sometimes I stop trying or I come in dead last. But either way when it comes to this fitness thing I do not always feel as if I have to "win" against someone. I typically compete with myself. I test myself to see how far I can push a weight or how ...

Outrun Cancer
My first and last 5K race was the Susan G. Komen race in 2005 I did while employed at Erickson Living. It was a nice Fall day and I was so invigorated and exhilirated! I mean I had a real sense of accomplishment PLUS I raised money for a worthy cause. Fast forward to 2012 (boy how time flies) and I am contemplating signing up and raising ...

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 had every reason to believe that no running was going down for me...but the first morning I was there I woke up with no alarm clock and had running on my brain! I sat on my ...
Time for a Rock & Roll Encore
Submitted by: Ramona
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! Boooo!!! So I'm hoping the extra miles I'll be getting in weekly will turn things around. I have a goal to lose 20 lbs. At first I ...
These Shoes Were Made For….
Submitted by: Ramona
It's my second training run and it actually went really well! 4 miles today and I felt strong afterwards. So strong that I decided to take a Zumba class after my run. 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 ...
