The Perfect Fit | Guide to Running Shoes
For a long time, I was resistant to the idea of getting fitted for running shoes. I was worried I’d be pressured into buying overpriced shoes that weren’t going to make a difference. I always got my shoes from the department store, and hoped for the best fit as I guessed between a… Continue reading The Perfect Fit | Guide to Running Shoes

Walking meditation
Every morning- and many afternoons- I do a walking meditation while I take my two dogs for a short walk. I started doing it when our newest addition, S’more, was adopted.

Power of Group Workouts
When it comes to working out, I’m a firm believer in the power of group workouts. But, I didn’t use to be this way. Until about two years ago, I was a solo runner. I liked the idea of working out when I wanted to, and at my own pace. However, everything changed… Continue reading Power of Group Workouts
Working Out for the Body and Mind
I am huge advocate for working out. For me, being active is pretty much non-negotiable. Although it’s nice to burn calories and get stronger, or have more endurance, I think I workout for my mental health more than anything. In fact, I’m certain that’s the case. I’ve never been against a good sweat… Continue reading Working Out for the Body and Mind
