What’s For Dinner? Using the MVP Rule (Plus Recipes I’ve Tried Lately)
Do you ever find yourself peering into the refrigerator at 7pm, already hungry, and just unable to figure out what to make for dinner? You want to prepare something healthy, but you don't have time/ energy/ patience to cook an elaborate meal, and you just can't think...
How to Make This Fall YOUR Season for a 5K
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 Dangers of Stress, and 7 Things I’m Doing to Kick it to the Curb This Weekend
Are you enjoying a long weekend for Labor Day? I hope so! We debated going out of town for the weekend, but ended up staying in Dallas, mainly because a weekend full of no plans sounded SO good ... and it is! Every once in a while, I think we all need a few days to...
7 Things I Do the Day Before a Race
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...

(Note that this graphic is fixed from the initial version, which mistakenly listed section B as lasting for 10 minutes instead of 15! Thanks to Molly for finding this!) Before you think I've lost my mind, don't worry ... I still don't like the "dreadmill." In fact,...
Positively Motivation Monday
Did you get to read yesterday's post, which gave 7 Tips for Snacking (Only) When You're Hungry? Some of my Motivation Monday posts are turning into life motivation instead of fitness and health motivation (but, of course, I'll keep some of those, too!). I think there...
7 Tips to Snack (Only) When You’re Hungry
A few of you have written in with suggestions for a post on how to control your snacking. To be honest, I've avoided a post like this (until now) because it's something I don't think I've completely mastered - I still struggle with late-night snacking when I'm...
Homemade Basil Hummus, Sweet and Savory Orange-Soy Quinoa, and Zucchini Pasta!
