I didn’t grow up with a huge amount of self-confidence. In fact, I had next to none. I hated pretty much everything about my body and wished daily that I looked like someone else. Oh to have those days back where I could shake some sense into that poor lost girl that I was! Truth…
Tonight, which is 2 nights before my second half marathon since I had kids, I sat down with a glass of wine to relax and write a post here. I was originally going to write about the iPhone apps that have helped me return to running, and how they’ve changed how I run. I may…
Now that the summer is more or less behind us and the cooler days are closing in, heading out to the park isn’t as easy is it was just a few short weeks ago. We tend to have a very rainy fall where I live and this year has been no exception to that. I’m…

Thinking back, it is amazing how much has changed… yet how things are still very similar. If a time machine existed and I were given the chance, I would love to go…
Not too long ago, the Fitness Collaborative girls and I had a fun conversation about what it would have been like if we’d known each other in high school. What struck me about that conversation (aside from the fact that I likely wouldn’t have been friends with any of them in high school because our…
It’s that moment you’ve been dreading all week. You’ve stripped down to skin and smile, and you’re standing by the dreaded scale, praying for a loss to show up.
