2,4,6,8,10 workout {video}
A while ago, I posted a 2,4,6,8,10 workout, which so many of you did along with me. I love playing fitness games (it’s more of a love/hate thing); they make the workouts simultaneously harder and more exciting. I feel like if you’re playing mind tricks along the way, it’s over before you know it! A…

Avoiding the car nap
I’m going to totally jinx myself for writing this, but Liv has been a great sleeper ever since we initially implemented The Baby Whisperer techniques. As soon as we brought her home from the hospital, we tried to get her into an eat, play, sleep routine and it helped her create a more predictable schedule. As…

Workout classes you liked or loathed
A house full of chocolate…. and veggies. Not a bad mix 😉 When the Pilot makes it home for dinner, I loooooove it when he grills our meal. He can make pretty much anything (burgers, chicken, pizza, quiche), but my absolute favorite is the chicken. Something about grilling in the summer makes the food taste…

“Before 30” bucket list
Hi friends <3 Thank you so much for your amazing response to this morning’s post. It’s way too easy to get into the comparison trap game and at the end of the day, how fast we run, how much we lift, how well we Zumba… it doesn’t really matter. I’m loving all of your amazing…

You don’t have to be “good”
This past weekend, I got a comment suggesting that I should stop running because I’m not very fast. It made me pretty upset, not because this commenter was saying I was slow -I’ve been called far worse since I started blogging- but because it’s frustrating to see that kind of attitude in the fitness community.…

Tips for running faster
Did you know today is National Running Day? Who celebrated? 🙂 When I first started running, I had one goal: to finish. Whenever I finished my entire run (even if it was a walk/run combo), accomplished the distance I’d set out to run, or completed a race, I felt triumphant. It gave me confidence that…

Turkey muffins
It took me almost a year, but I finally made it back 😉 (Thanks to my friend Megan for waking up early to be tortured with me) I’ve been wanting to go back to CrossFit for a while, but it hasn’t worked out with my schedule. I know that if you want something bad enough…

Like a nice summer meal
Hi friends 🙂 Thanks for all of your awesome feedback (and tips!) on our first 5k together. I can’t wait to run more races together as a family, whether they’re night races or later in the fall when it starts to cool down. For now, if want to run, it’s going to have to be…

Our first family 5k
We ran our first 5k as a family on Saturday night. (Sweaty and triumphant! Except for Liv, whose face is like, “Ew, mom”) I wasn’t sure if I’d have the gusto after a full day of teaching, but when a friend at work told me she’d be running the 5k, I couldn’t help but think…
