Hey Mamas (and Papas), So I just got home last night from a lovely weekend in Raleigh, North Carolina, where I attended a training workshop. I also had the-most-amazing-run on Sunday morning. The music was right, the weather was unbelievable, my body felt great, and my mind was the perfect mix of focused and not…
Hey Mamas (and Papas), I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted a Fab Find Friday, but honestly, Ive been laying low on the shopping scene, and don’t have a lot of new goodies to share with you. I am against promoting something I don’t have, or have at least used, because it might…
It’s June 4th. Happy National Running Day! Is it crazy that there’s a day dedicated to the physical and mental torture that is running? Quite probably, yes. However, when you think about what it means to call yourself a runner, it sort of calls for a celebration. Runners don’t check the weather to see IF…
Hey mamas! Happy Friday. I’m not sure where you live, but it’s gloriously warm here in Southeastern VA, praise the LORD!

Ok, I don’t know about you, but I hate gloves. I mean, I love them and buy them, but I hate wearing them. I always feel so restricted. (btw, I feel the same way about socks) However, running in freezing and below-freezing weather, as many of us have been doing lately, has necessitated a good…
I don’t know about you, but I always feel like I move faster and work harder when I have good music to listen to. It’s got to be the right mix of rhythm, tempo, and songs that we haven’t all heard 18 billion times already. You might use your iPod, Spotify, or (God forbid) the…
The Brighter the Shoe, the Faster You Run. It’s true. I don’t have any research or data, but I can tell you without a doubt that when I have bright, colorful running shoes on, I shave at least a minute off my mile. Okay, so maybe I just feel faster. But since I run to…
