Overview Finding the perfect fitness gifts can be hard – and it can be especially hard when there’s an active person in your life whose interests aren’t necessarily the same as your own (what does a triathlete even wear?), and also for someone who wants to start their fitness/wellness journey, and you don’t want to…
This article asks some beginner questions about running races and interpolates a recap from my first race that was longer than a 5k. If you want to skip ahead, read the headers below, and you will find my answers to some of your basic race questions just below them. Several years ago, I ran my…
Over the last few months, I have really gotten into walking challenges. I’d never done them before. I’ve done different weight loss challenges, water drinking challenges, step challenges, etc., but I’d never done a walking challenge before and I wasn’t really sure if I would like it. It sounded a little boring to me if…
I’m excited about getting to teach additional classes, but it just hit me that I’m teaching 8 classes a week now! As I shared last week, I finally taught my first in-person (not with friends and family) yoga class, but I neglected to tell you everything else I’m teaching right now! I’ll share the formats I’m…

Day 4 wasn’t so bad. Admittedly, I did a ton of work on Day 4, but I managed to break it up with a trip to my office to pick up an extra monitor, a grocery store trip to restock on vegetables, and a nice, short run. The weather was pretty nice, the sun was shining,…
:: In my Ice Cube voice :: Today was a good day. While I didn’t do most of the things I planned to do today (my sincerest apologies, yesterday), I did manage to get some serious cycling in – I biked just over 18 miles today! As I lay here, struggling to keep my eyes open,…
