White Water Rafting

August 15, 2010

I went white water rafting yesterday with my son and husband. It’s been something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while and I just hadn’t made it happen yet. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I need some adventure in my life, maybe even some good, healthy fear. I’m a wife and mother, a professional, [...]

August 2, 2010

Nicole DeBoom is CEO of the women’s fitness clothing brand, Skirt Sports, and creator of the Skirt Chaser race series – she’s an athlete, a successful entrepreneur, an innovator and really, just one of the girls. With the Skirt Chaser coming to Vancouver, WA this Sat, 8/7, I had to get the low down on [...]

Where Does the Time Go

August 1, 2010

It’s been a whole month and a half? Really? I feel like I’m having one of those, can’t walk and chew gum at the same time moments, but it’s really, can’t focus on fitness and blog in the same month, kind of a thing. It’s a shame too, because even though I haven’t been blogging, [...]

Shaped by Pizza

May 31, 2010

I’ve been good lately, REALLY good. I’ve been on a meal plan since May 10th. I actually started May 4th, but as many of you know, I work for an internet gift retailer. Mother’s Day is crazy around the office and it’s really not a good time to focus on diet. I, like so many [...]

Lessons Learned and Forgotten

May 15, 2010

Today was my first Saturday run in a long time, 7 months to be exact. I met up with my running group, but I didn’t actually run with them, not entirely anyway. I’m following doctor’s orders and easing back slowly, listening to my body and not pushing my achilles too far. So today was .50 [...]

A Running Blog?

April 29, 2010

You know, it’s really hard to maintain a running blog when you’re not running. I know, that’s certainly no epiphany, but as the days tick by, it continues to become more obvious. When you run, there are always running topics to explore. From running skirts and gels to cross training and chaffing, there is never [...]

Oh, to be a Girl Again

April 22, 2010

This post really has nothing to do with running, but it is part of the achilles surgery package, so what the heck… Most of you have already heard my complaints about wearing athletic shoes all the time. If it was just since the surgery, I’m sure I wouldn’t mind as much, but my sore achilles [...]

Relapse

April 3, 2010

I have relapsed in the worst way for my beloved friend, Diet Coke. Years ago, I probably drank the equivalent of at least a 6-pack a day, maybe more. Cold fountain pops with ample ice was my fix. Seriously, I didn’t think there could be anything better. But I was an aspartame junkie, so Diet [...]

Recovering After Achilles Surgery

February 22, 2010

I woke up in a splint and with my toes peaking out from the bandages. I was instantly relieved that I had taken the time to get my toes done. A few friends (and my husband) thought I was crazy for putting a pedicure on my list of things to do before the surgery. I [...]
