**Since I'm down in Brazil, I have TWO special treats for you for today's Workout Wednesday! First is a guest post that I wrote over at Sweet Foodie (my friend and sorority sister from college!). And here on The Lyons' Share ... a guest post on training for a...
A few weeks ago, one of my new health coaching clients asked me if I had advice for losing weight while running long distances. It's a challenge that I can work with people individually to tackle, but it's also a challenge that I thought might be relevant to a lot of...
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!...
Have you ever gone on a run in scorching hot weather, and come back to feel that you could drink gallons upon gallons of water ... you're just dripping with sweat, burning hot, and absolutely parched? (picture source) How about when you come home from a run in...
Can you believe November is more than halfway complete!? Is it getting colder where you are? It got chilly a few weeks ago in Dallas, then got quite warm again, and is now leveling out in temperatures that are just about perfect for running! Dressing properly to run...

One of the most common questions I get asked is "what should I eat before my workout?" This is a hotly-debated topic, and one that I could write on and on about (but fortunately for you, I'm going to keep it fairly short!). (picture source) On most mornings, I'm up...
I've had a few questions about how to improve running speed, so I thought I'd take a stab at it for today's post. I certainly don't consider myself a "fast" runner, but it's all relative, and I've shown some great improvement over my running journey (I've shaved 39...
Did you enjoy your Labor Day Weekend? I hope so! For a lot of people, Labor Day marks the "end of summer" (even though Fall doesn't officially start until September 22nd!). Fall is my favorite season for running, because the cooler temperatures make it feel so much...
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...
