Guess what!? I finally ran a road race. (It's the first time in over 2 years) I put it on my Summer Fitness Bucket List, but had a hard time finding a race that was close to home and fit my schedule. By the way, I'm giving myself until the official end of summer, September 22nd, to tackle as many ...

Fitness Friday: Summer Legs Outdoor Workout
I've had some requests to share more workouts for Fitness Friday, so today I thought I'd share a workout I did while on vacation last week. We rented a house near the beach, so I didn't have access to a gym and my equipment was limited to my running shoes. I went on a few runs while I was there, ...
Fitness Friday: Keep On Keepin’ On
Summa summa summa time! How's your summer time fitness coming? I haven't done a Fitness Friday post in a while, so this is going to be a catch-up post. Summer time is a hard time for me to stay in a routine in general, but this summer's been especially difficult. We've had a lot of short trips, ...
Fitness Friday: Summer Fitness Bucket List
I am a list girl. Having a fresh list motivates me, and having a list with all its items crossed off makes me feel incredible. If there's something I want to get done, there's a much higher chance it's going to happen if I put it on a list. As a way to keep myself motivated to ...
The Non-Runner’s Guide to Liking Running (or at least not hating it)
I have a long, strange relationship with running. I started my running career in junior high on my school's track team. From then through college, I was on the track team, but I wouldn't call myself a runner. I was a sprinter. Okay, so yes, I was a runner because I did run, but sprinting and ...

What motivates you?
Are you a naturally motivated person? I've been thinking about the motivation to workout and where it comes from. I'm not a person for whom wanting to workout comes easily. Maybe it's because I grew up in athletics where exercise was built into my life and I just knew I had to go to practice and ...

Fitness Friday: 10 Sneaky Ways to Squeeze Fitness into your Day
Last week on Fitness Friday, one of my lovely readers, Alina, commented that she tries to workout everyday, even if it's just for 20 minutes. It really got me thinking about how much better I feel when I've gotten some form of fitness into my day. We all have days where despite our best ...
Fitness Friday: 30 Minute Whole Body Track Workout
After I published the post about gaining weight and mentioned a little about exercising, a few of you emailed me asking why I don't talk as much about fitness anymore. I realized that I wrote about it a lot when I was pregnant with Luke and postpartum, but then just let that part of the blog go ...
Exercise update: what I’m loving now
Wow, is it really Thursday already? The weeks go by in a blink of an eye lately. It's busy and hectic over here these days. Building a house is waaaay more time-consuming than I ever could have predicted. It's like a full-time job. Seriously. If only this was a home blog, I'd have all kinds ...
Exercise update: I’m going to bootcamp!
I can hardly believe it's already been 8 months since I gave birth to Luke. In the last month I realized that life isn't going to get easier anytime soon. I'm not magically going to get an extra hour in my day. No more excuses; time to get serious about staying active. I needed a kick in ...
