Nothing jazzes up a workout like a new workout outfit to make you feel good about yourself. I was definitely in a bit of a workout funk over this summer but I'm happy to say that now that I'm fully into a fall routine and am regularly at my local Orangetheory Fitness, I'm loving working out again. But having cute clothes always helps inspire me … [Read more...]

For real. {Insert the face palm} I could NOT believe it when we got to Charleston (10 hours south of our house) and I went to unpack and realized that my running shoes were … [Read more...]

A recent pitch informed me that the Color Me Rad Race is coming to Philadelphia. Woo! There are certainly other color runs but the only other one I know going on this summer is on a weekend we're out of town.

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.
