Running, sweating, working out, what do all of these things have in common? They give my hair a frizzy “I just went rolling down the hill” kind of look. I’ve tried all kinds of head bands to keep my hair back and hold down those little frizzies. I’ve had to pin them down, and adjust…
I’m Baaaack!
So after nine (long, long) weeks without running, I decided to get back into the game; or should I say onto the trail? A short run down of what’s been going on: I went to a podiatrist four weeks in a row, received four cortisone injections, and just before my fifth appointment, was told that my…
Newton’s running law of motion
Recently I attended part one of a two part running clinic by Newton. The event provides information to runners on natural running style and the importance of proper form. The second part of the clinic allows the attendees to apply what they have learned from the lecture. Due to my injury, I did not attend…
Treat Night-Candy Apples
Every Friday night is treat night at my house. I let my son stay up a little later this night and we make special treats to enjoy. It’s a great way to spend time together as a family and create lasting memories. It is also important not to deprive ourselves of the occasional sweet treat….

Chocolate #9 Review
If you’re a runner than you’ve already heard of energy gels. If you have no idea what I am talking about, let me fill you in. Energy gels are created as a way to give long distance runners the fuel they need to keep going. Our body burns energy through a combination of protein, carbs,…
Juice/Smoothie 24 Cleanse
Recently I completed a 24-hour juice cleanse. Lately I’ve had some pain in the ball of my left foot, so much so that I don’t bear my weight on it when I walk. I’ve also been experiencing some pain and inflammation in my other joints. I know that my health issues are diet related and…
A few simple recipes
I’ve been eating salads for lunch a lot lately and have come up with a combination that I just love. You will need greens of your choice. In these photos I used baby spinach, but I also like the baby spinach/spring green mix as well. I put a few handfuls into my bowl. Add guacamole. You…
10K training accomplished, moving on……
Once again, I have let far too much time go by since my last entry. It’s been weeks since I have completed my 10K training and I decided to skip running the 10K race and jump right into 1/2 marathon training. I did run the distance of a 10K, which is 6.2 miles and then…
