To celebrate National Running Day, I’m giving away a running and fitness gadget that I’m super loving right now: The Wahoo Fitness TICKR X.

Runner/Cyclist Safety and a Giveaway
The other day I was out riding my bike along the shoulder of a not-very-busy road when an SUV passed me. Maybe 100 ft. beyond me though, that SUV drifted over onto the shoulder, over the 3 ft of gravel and finally into the grass before finally veering back onto the road. Distracted driver? On [Read More]

Off the Grid: The Caveman and I played hooky yesterday. We worked out together then hit up the Chicago Auto Show. I haven’t been in eons and Cavey has never been. What??? It was nice to be child-free for an entire day (it was 35 below zero but schools were open). That makes one date [Read More]

I’ve been a strength training machine these past several weeks. When MESTRENGTH offered to send me their drink powders to try out, who was I to refuse? How is MESTRENGTH different?
