Back in July sometime, I got a note about doing a campaign with Balance Bar and Walmart. I said yes because I'm always up for trying a new energy bar and then promptly forgot about it until earlier this week. I realized I hadn't checked it out yet so I sent hubby over to Walmart to pick us up a couple of boxes of Balance Bars and see what we … [Read more...]

I have a gym routine. Each day I have a different class I take and I am pretty much a regular depending which day of the week it is.

One of the glorious things I've been gifted with as I approach the wonderful age of 40 is joint pain. Specifically, my knees, hips and shoulders. I figured that a lot of the aches and pains were due to being a runner and in general someone who does mainly cardio and high intensity (high impact) classes on a regular basis.

It was one of the highlights of the weekend for me. I love to run and when it's warm, I'm out on my local trails a few times a week. So when I heard we had a Fun Run as a part of the … [Read more...]
