If you recall, Beginner Shred with Jillian Michaels consists of 3 levels of 25-minute workouts, each one more difficult than the last. Each workout includes a warm-up, strength, cardio and ab intervals, and a cool-down. • Read More »

I see and hear a lot of questions about fueling for runners. I can’t really tell you what the best strategy for you will be, but I can tell you about my own experience. This fuel strategy has come from a lot of trial and error, and I really do believe that is what it • Read More »
Summer has not yet begun, but hydration is important any time of the year. Besides, if you live in the kind of climate I do, it’s going to be summer from now until October! No matter what the weather is like, if you’re like me, you sweat a lot when you run. I see and • Read More »

So…as you can see from my lack of updates, there hasn’t been much to report. My allergies have been kicking my butt this year, to the point where strenuous exercise is hard. I am getting back on track (again) this week and it feels so good! Who knew sweating would feel so amazing? It’s funny • Read More »
Wow. Has it really been a year since I’ve written here? I suppose it has! What a year this has been. Most of it was plagued with injury, which meant I was mostly frustrated. I was in physical therapy for several months. I’m technically “discharged,” but I still have a long road to recovery ahead • Read More »
