Tales and Tips from a Running Mom
Last Thursday, my husband asked me if I wanted to run in a 5K in our neighborhood on Saturday. My immediate answer was “Hell no, I’m too slow for a 5K.” I’ve been wanting to hold off on running a 5K until I can improve my pace a little. I haven’t run an official 5K [Read On]
Do you have a goal you want to accomplish this year? I do. I’m working on a campaign with FitFluential and Under Armour to help redefine What’s Beautiful. My goal is to get my body back into better running shape. After having Ezra in December, I worked my butt off to get back into shape [Read On]

I’ve always had a curiosity about trying yoga. I’ve tried several DVDs at home, but I always get bored of them. Plus, I want to make sure I’m actually doing the poses correctly. I really wanted to find a class that is for absolute beginners. I found a Beginner Hatha class at a local yoga [Read On]
I don’t know about you, but the past 3 months have flown by for me. Maybe the whole having a baby and living in a sleep deprived state makes time go by quicker or something. I’ve already received lots of mileage logs and I’m looking forward to seeing more as the day goes on. It [Read On]
First of all, here’s the important stuff: The winner of the Energy Bits sample pack is……Esteban! I hope you like the Energy Bits as much as I do! If you didn’t win this time around, don’t forget that there is another chance to win Energy Bits or one of the other awesome prizes in the [Read On]
In the twitterverse, I’ve seen lots of fellow runners talk about Energy Bits. They sounded intriguing so when the company generously offered to send me a sample, I was pretty excited. I’ve made a huge effort in the past few years to cut down or eliminate my consumption of anything artificial or generally bad for [Read On]
