Last week I told you how my workouts were suffering due to calorie restriction on the Fitbit Aria’s ‘kinda hard’ plan (-1.5 lbs./week). This week I dialed it back and reset El Diablo’s calculations for a 1 pound weekly loss. Instantly my workouts were better. I weighed daily, although from here on out I’m cutting back [Read More]
Runningskirts Yoga Wear Review
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]
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]
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]

Vega One Love
The kind peeps at Vega sent me more goodies to try. I was so impressed with the Vega Sport Products, I was more than eager to give Vega One all-in-one nutritional shake mix a try. As you know, I’ve been making a concerted effort to start my post-run recovery fueling sooner after finishing my runs. [Read More]
Champion Review and Giveaway
My first sports bra was from Champion. It was beige. I wore it for aerobics at my local Nautilus back in the stone age and felt so Jane Fonda hardcore. My first running skirt was from Champion as well. I ran my 5k PR in it. Isn’t it funny how things like that stick in [Read More]
Benefits of Sun Chlorella
With the recent news about the growing obesity epidemic in America, the topic of whole foods is a timely one. Americans are getting plenty to eat. But too often it’s plenty of calorie-dense, nutrient-deficient food. When I was invited to try Sun Chlorella, I’ll admit I was skeptical. For the past couple of years I’ve [Read More]
