Hi! How’s the day going so far? Thank you for such an amazing response to this morning’s post! I’ve sent out so many free ebooks already, and am so thankful for your support. I’m doing the slow walk today after teaching this morning’s BODYPUMP class -love that squat track!- and running yesterday. Yes, running. It’s…

Half marathon playlist
For the half marathon I didn’t run. I’m supposed to be finishing the race as this post goes up, but instead, I’m at home drinking coffee after a nice night of sleep. I’ll never know if I would have crossed the finish line triumphantly, because in my mind, I pictured myself hobbling to a medical…

The countdown is on
It’s hard to believe that my half marathon is less than a month away! It simultaneously feels like it crept up on me and like it took forever to get here. Even though I’ve followed training plans in the past, this is my first time really training. I ran with a running group, learned about proper…

Hitting the wall, fuel and belts
I LOVED taking Tony Horton’s classes this past weekend at IDEA. Not only is he full of awesome tricks and valuable info -I used a couple of his moves in my Tabata class this morning- but he’s also a jokester. He called us baby pterodactyls at one point, and even though we were all in…

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…

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…

Thank you so much for those of you who entered the giveaway! It has ended as of 4/5 12:48am. HUGE congrats to the lucky winner, Morgan, who said: I love 10Ks too! Just enough to get the endorphins going, but not too much that your legs are completely screaming the next day. (Just loudly complaining.) Stay…
