Since I do not do a lot of races, I feel like each event is an opportunity for me to get “dolled up.” I love wearing running skirts (see tutu in the Shamrock ‘n Roll; and C9 skirts in the Corktown race and Turkey Trot; so when I came across a local company that specializes […]

I want to first thank every single person that commented on my last blog post expressing my concern about my running struggles. I have so many amazing readers and even though I haven’t had an opportunity to respond to many of the comments yet, there was such great advice about both my 10k and about […]

Where did the weekend go?? I feel like I have neglected this blog lately and know I have been close to silent on Twitter, but now that my very first competition (other than The Open) is over, and now that I’m officially an ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer I can finally start to finish up some of […]

Why is it so hard to take a rest day? Every week, I have been taking Wednesdays off. It’s nothing new, nothing special. It just fits in nicely with working out Monday, Tuesday (double WOD), Thursday (double WOD), Friday. But today, I’m especially struggling with taking the day off.
