The Challenge I thrive on challenge. Moving through life comfortably without really having to push yourself might be appealing to some, but feeling like I am constantly growing and expanding my own possibilities is what keeps me energized. Plus, I believe that...
Happy Sunday! I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend. Since last Sunday, I've actually run two half marathons (#27 and #28) that I want to fill you in on today ... thanks for the votes in yesterday's post's comments telling me that this is what you wanted to...
Can you even believe that it’s the second day of March?!? March is my favorite month of the year (or maybe a tie with December!)... it's the beginning of Spring, 3 of the 4 kids in my family have our birthdays (as do Kevin and my brother-in-law!), I love St. Patrick's...
Happy New Year! Can you believe it is 2014? Speaking of that ... no, I was not confused when I wrote today's title. For Workout Wednesday today, I want to share a glimpse into my year of running in 2013 ... which involved hitting an all-time high of 2000 miles!...
It's another Motivation Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! In addition to the busy Saturday that I told you about yesterday, I also ran another half marathon yesterday! As I've mentioned, I select my "A" races carefully and give them my all, but yesterday's...

Happy First Day of Fall! The cooler temperatures (and the abundance of pumpkin flavored goodies and soups!) have me super excited for this season! Today, I don't have 7 tips for you, but I have a lot of fun stuff to recap (and giveaway winners announced at the...
The good news about less-than-stellar races (like The Hottest Half last Sunday) is that they really fire you up and make you want to prove yourself (to yourself, of course!). I have to say, after a summer of running just for fun, I may have been bitten by the race...
Hope you're having a great Sunday! Guess what I did this morning? I ran my 20th half marathon! I haven't mentioned this race on the blog (or Facebook or Instagram) since I wasn’t really training for the race, and knew it wasn’t going to be one of my better ones. ...
Happy Sunday - I hope your weekend is relaxing, fun, and healthy! I have lots to talk about today, including a recap of yesterday's Tour de Cure and an opportunity for YOU to win one of my favorite products! Because this is a monster post, I've divided it into 4...
