The Rundown – Staying Alive
Don't mind me, just trying to keep my head above water as we enter the third week of January. How is 2016 so overwhelming already? Before you answer that, let's back up and talk about everything that happened last week. Hopefully you also have the day off to honor...
My Best Instagram Running Pics (And The Apps I Used to Take Them)
I am by no means an Instagram expert, nor do I have a respectable number of followers, but I do have a few tricks when it comes to taking pictures with my phone when there is no one there to take them for me. Oh who am I kidding? Even if someone is there, I still take...
Afterburn. Get Some!
As you may have seen, I was interviewed by Women's Running Editor in Chief Jessie Sebor about the elusive and much talked about concept of "afterburn" or the body's continuation to burn calories long after a workout session has ended. It's something that many athletes...

The Boys Get A Lesson in Giving

As expected, this past week was insane. I tried very hard to embrace the chaos the end of the year brings but, as you know, chaos is definitely not my thing. I hate yard sales, clearance sales, and anything else that isn't well organized and laid out for me in brand...
The Failures Meant The Most in 2015 – Year In Review (VIDEO)
I hate to fail. I basically view most of my life as a competition. From the moment I wake-up I'm on my game, getting work done, cleaning, making breakfast, getting the boys out the door, getting my workout in and on and on and on. I have one gear - fast. I do not...
