  • Photographs can be Hazardous to your Mental Health

    I read this blog post by Roni called Sometimes It’s Just a Bad Picture — and it really could not have come at a better time. July and August I did races and with those races were race photographers who put the photos in a gallery for you to view and if you want, buy.…

  • Adding a new level of Fun to Boot Camp!

    Yesterday morning I was running so late and rushing around to get out of the house to get to work but as I walked out to my car, I saw this big beautiful butterfly and had to stop to appreciate it. It had bright blue outline on the inside and orange on the outside and…

  • No More Gym? Don’t Worry, Your Muscles Remember

    The study challenges the idea that muscles go back to their starting condition when you stop strength training. “Our findings suggest that there are permanent structural changes in the muscle,” says Gundersen. “We don’t know if they’re really permanent, but they’re very long-lasting in animals, at least.” The researchers put mice through strength training on…

  • Exercise with an injured foot

    Mikey switched it up today and had us do Tuesday’s workout on a Monday. Imagine the horror!! He said he was trying to shake our bodies up –but between us, I think he forgot what day it was and set up for the Tuesday workout. We will never know! The pic to the left is…

  • Saturday Run on the trail

    My big sis Deb was out here visiting for the week. It’s been such a great week too. She got to spend one on one time with HB and my mom came down too. Although the heat got to her, she did manage to go out and see some sites too. It’s hard to live…

  • Finding the Motivation to workout

    What started off as a ‘chilly’ morning quickly turned into a hot and sweaty workout experience. Any drop in temperature is out done by the sweat we work up while working out. I’m going to be honest — I almost talked myself out of getting up out of bed this AM. I am sad and…

  • Deadlifts in today’s workout

    Last week I mentioned how I was buckling down and really re-focus on what I am eating. I lost 2lbs this past week — which was welcome news. I have been having a 150 calorie ice cream treat every night and I decided to cut that out 5x a week to see if it could…

  • Run Amuck Race Recap Part Deux

    So my post recapping Run Amuck garnered a few comments by some annoyed readers so I thought I would clarify what I was trying to say about etiquette rules of a Race: I am a huge proponent of fitness activities for any level so I loved the fact that the race had serious and casual…
