I’ve learned many lessons over the years since I started running but none as profound as the one I’ve finally understood over the last couple of weeks. To me, running is a release. It’s freedom. When I’m out running, I feel like I’m flying. I can think, problem solve, mourn and even cry, all while… Continue Reading

Ragnar Relay SoCal Part III: Will Run for Bling
Here we are, home stretch at last!! If you’re just tuning in, check out part I and part II of my recap. The beginning of our third and final leg didn’t quite have the same finesse as our first two exchanges. Mostly because I was barely awake when I heard that runner 12 was less… Continue Reading
Ragnar Relay SoCal Recap II: Dogs and Darkness and Vests, Oh My!
Picking up where I left off with my Ragnar Relay Recap (if you’re just tuning in, you can see a quick photo montage here and a recap of my first leg of the race here).

Now that the day is within reach… Continue Reading

Motivation Monday: Finally! A Normal Week!
This last week, I finally felt like we were back on track. All the sickness was finally out of our house and out of the boys’ daycare. It was our first “normal” week in a while. Which is to say that I got in a (mostly) normal training schedule for the first time in ages… Continue Reading
Motivation Monday: Stomach Flu: 4, Fit House: 0
Those are not the odds I was hoping to have this flu season but alas, with just 3 weeks until the official start to Spring, our luck ran out. And it ran out fast. Monday night, Mr. O. got sick in his crib. Poor little guy. His first bout with the flu was not kind.… Continue Reading
