Today I am sharing with you not only an inspirational quote, but a recommendation for an amazing documentary that I watched tonight, Into the Wind. If you’re never heard of Terry Fox, he is a Canadian legend. In 1977 at not even 20 years old Fox lost his leg to cancer. 3 years later he … Continue reading
What’s for Dinner? (and is it clean??)
I feel like everywhere I turn recently I’m hearing about different diets or “eating lifestyles”. I have to admit before I started running food was…well, just food. I ate what I liked and I didn’t think too much about it other than that. Now I find myself thinking things like: “what’s going to give me … Continue reading
Yoga for Runner’s – Stop Foot Abuse!
As runners we tend to abuse our feet. We pound on them. We get blisters. We lose toenails. And (if you’re anything like me) we rarely take the time to give them the TLC they deserve! In an effort to put a stop to runner’s foot abuse I thought I would share a few quick … Continue reading

Weekend Inspiration (or pictures of Madison)
I was browsing Pinterest looking for something to share today and to be honest, I wasn’t feeling particularly inspired by anything. There are so many amazing quotes and deep thoughts out there, but sometimes I just don’t feel like thinking deep thoughts, you know? And what better to do when your brain doesn’t feel like … Continue reading
Cross Training for Life
This week (while still patting myself on the back for my first sub 2-hour half marathon!) I found myself trying to explain to my husband why I needed to keep doing this. Why I needed to keep running and keep going to yoga. Why these hobbies where more than just hobbies. I think the conversation … Continue reading

New York 13.1 – Race Recap (and a huge PR!)
So, I’ll start of by saying this actual race really isn’t anything special. I ran it last year and to be honest, it’s not the best course and the organization of the event is only ok, but since I was really only looking for a non-Disney race for a PR attempt and I had PR’d at … Continue reading
