You may know that when it comes to running, I’m a bit of a skirtaholic. If you’ve met me for a run, chances are good I wore a skirt from Runningskirts. We’ve been through a lot together: I’ve been known to stalk them at an expo or 6. Recently the girls at Runningskirts sent [Read More]
Diet-to-Go Review
How many times have I said it? “If I had a personal chef to make me exactly what I need to eat, I too would look like (insert celeb of choice here).” Are you guilty of this? I came back from vacation finding just that. A huge, insulated box of freshly prepared meals from Diet-to-Go diet [Read More]
FRS Energy Review
When I was invited to test-drive FRS products I hesitated. Do I really need another energy drink? Then I looked at the ingredients and saw Quercetin. Sold. Few come to lead healthy, active lives at my age (the half century mark if you’re just joining us) without a few weapons in their arsenal. One of [Read More]
Aspaeris Pivot Shorts Giveaway
The birthday giveaway trains rolls on as the big day draws nearer. Today we’re talking about another one of my favorite things: booty compression.

A Handful of Giveaway Fun
I have been a Handful Bra fan since the beginning. They’re super-comfy with removable pads that can be inserted and removed. My days of nipped-out running pictures are over! Not only is this a great running/yoga/gym bra, it’s comfy and cute enough to wear anytime. It flatters instead of flattens, like many sports bras do. [Read More]
Saucony Triumph Review and a Winner
Recently I had the opportunity to try out the brand-new Saucony Triumph 10. Like rebels everywhere, I violated rule #1 of the runner’s code and cracked them out at the Zooma Great Lakes 5k. Yes I raced in a shoe I hadn’t even put my toes in before. They were surprisingly light and very [Read More]

With the 2012 racing season winding down, if you’re like me, you might be shopping around for 2013 races. How about putting some Blue Ridge Marathon action on your schedule? The full marathon course boasts 3,620 feet of elevation gain and 7,234 feet of elevation change. My quads are burning just typing this. If you’re not [Read More]
Switching It Up: Puma Giveaway
As much as I loved the Marine Corps Marathon, I’ve longed for this star-crossed training cycle to end. As I struggled with injury I knew I had to change things up once the race was behind me. I want to shift my focus from distance running to short but intense, strength building workouts. But how? [Read More]
Getting Organized
Fall has a unique way of making me want to clean/organize/declutter/fashion useless things from pine cones. Ok I WANT to do the latter but glue guns and I don’t mix so there’s no pine cone thing. I cleaned out the fridge yesterday. I even REMOVED the shelves and scrubbed them. There was a reaping in [Read More]
My Yoga Story and Giveaway Fun
I first tried yoga when I was 19 years old. I was a dancer/figure skater through high school and hoped to maintain some of the flexibility into my college years and beyond. So I signed up for a weekly class at the local YMCA. Because it was held on the top floor of a high [Read More]
