Get Your Learn On! An Exciting New Social Media Platform
I'm a huge Chris Rock fan. I especially love some of his lines from Bring The Pain way back in 1996. In one segment he talks about how, once someone gets a G.E.D. people start telling them they should go to college. His response is basically..."slow down, it's...
Fit Mama Friday at Carly’s Place (Book Winner Too!)
If you don't know about Carly at Fine, Fit, Day then I have a treat for you. I met Carly out here in the blog-o-sphere, but when we spent a sweaty day together in NYC at A Healthy U Conference, we really solidified our friendship. It's funny how sweat has made me so...
STOP Voting For My Runner’s World Cover Photo!
If I were a better person, I would say that I don't deserve to be on the cover of Runner's World magazine in the first place. I mean, have you read some of the stories of the entrants? Ben B. from Valaparaiso, FL If I must actually type words here to list reasons why...
Come Fly With Me! FlyWheel Sports Cycle Class – Boston
I think most women, when faced with an opportunity to spend an overnight in Boston, would schedule a pedicure, relax and maybe sip on something while being pampered. Not me and my friend Shannon. We prefer to have a psycho scream at us in a dark room, with music...
Born To Run For Love or Money? (Win the Book!)
The first time I started reading Born To Run by Christopher McDougall, I stopped about 10 pages in. It was about some crazy tribe in the middle of nowhere, running like wild animals, and the author was in search of a seemingly ghost-like white man living among them,...
Chocolate Covered Weekend (And The Top 4 T-Shirts Seen at HersheyPark)
I'm fresh from our family's annual pilgrimage to HersheyPark, and boy do I have a lot to share about this weirdly awesome place in the middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania. Yes, it's freakin' weird to go on a family vacation to a chocolate-filled theme park, when your main...
BIG NEWS! I’m A Fly Girl
No I didn't travel back in time and achieve my childhood dream of dancing on In Living Color but, I have achieved an adult dream and I'm happy to announce... I'm officially part of the Oiselle Team Voleé! *runs out of the room screaming with joy* Ok, I'm back....
I Need Your Help With My Body Image Issues
I have a problem. Ever since the first ESPN the magazine's Body Issue came out in 2009, I can't wait to see it. I don't know what genius had the brilliant idea of having elite athletes pose naked, showing their amazing physiques, but I'm sure she got a huge bonus! I...
If No One Shows Up, Do You Still Win?
It's like that age-old question, "If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?" Okay, so maybe it's not that deep, but it's an important question that a lot of racers ask themselves, and actually may extend far beyond...
Get Your Butt To The Track! 3 Workouts Anyone Can Do
I'm only saying this because my butt is now there on a weekly basis. I don't like to suffer alone, and really, who does? Misery loves company. Fast company. As torturous and daunting as the oval may be, it's an excellent place to hone speed. After all, the only way to...
