Thank you Rohto Dry-Aid for sponsoring this post. The laundry list of preventative measures runners take to protect various body parts before going for a run is long. Sweat wicking, technical clothing to prevent chafing. Specific sock, shoe, and glide combination to prevent blisters on the feet. Sunscreen to prevent burning. The right shoes to keep your feet, legs, and joints happy. A hydration Continue reading →
A Thousand Words.
The best life lessons come from the most unexpected places. I recently gave back the company phone I had been using that featured a killer camera (Galaxy 7). It wasn't until I parted ways with the handheld intellectual parasite device that I realized I had, at one point in the last year, gone on a house de-cluttering frenzy and tossed out every old phone or camera that I previously owned, with Continue reading →
Thirty Two Training Posts.
I think the very first time the idea of finishing a 100 mile foot race crossed my mind was sometime in 2015. Geoff and I had signed up for the inaugural Infinitus 48 hour race hosted by our friends at the Endurance Society, equal parts "FOMO" and equal parts on a whim. I foolishly thought "100 miles in 48 hours? That's nothing" assuming that such a long time frame to finish would compensate Continue reading →
Celebrating Individuality on Race Day
If you asked me to pick the one reason why I love running, I simply couldn't do it. There are far too many reasons, some of which can't even begin to be verbalized. But one of the big things I love about running, and the running community as a whole, is that everyone is welcome. And I mean everyone. Age, gender, race, socioeconomic status, pace, size, religion... none of it matters; if Continue reading →
Cats & Clean Eats: Rachael Ray’s Nutrish
Today I'm writing about cats. Yes, a sponsored post, about felines. When the opportunity first came my way, I thought "what on EARTH does a health/running/fitness blog have to do with cats?" Then I realized, "Oh yeah, I am a crazy cat person." By association, that is. It's not my fault. The truth is, I fell in love with the Dr. Doolittle of the cat world. Not his cats, just him. Not Continue reading →
Apera Tech Pack Review
Months ago (yes, months, I really put this one to the test) I received an email from Apera asking if I'd be interested in testing one of their athletic gear bags. Now as regular gear junkies, we have a lot of bags; backpacks, duffel, hydration packs, you name it So many that they've fallen in line behind hoodies under "you must get rid of one before you obtain a new one" rule Geoff has created in Continue reading →
BoldrDash on the Beach: Review
Last fall, Geoff and I had the opportunity to travel down to Exeter, Rhode Island, for the BoldrDash at Yawgoo Valley. It was an incredibly fun and challenging race; well worth the 3 hour drive South. So when we got the invite to come down to the Spring edition of BoldrDash, held on Scarborough Beach in Narragansett, RI, I was very excited and more than happy to make the trip. Now I feel the Continue reading →
The Truth About Bars
Nothing freaks an avid social medialite out like not being able to access an important social media account. At some point between last night and this morning, my Google account logged out. This hasn't happened in months, so naturally, I forgot my password. I tried every combination of what I thought it could be to no avail. I messaged my BFF Hope who often knows more about me than I know Continue reading →
More Cowbell
It has never been a secret that I'm a chronic internet over-sharer. From heart ache, to life altering events, bodily functions that would certainly be classified as "too much information", contemplation over the merits of toe socks, pictures of me doing the most mundane tasks like foam rolling or cooking the culinary masterpiece that is Jiffy Pop...it's all out there. This business of Continue reading →
A Damn Good Reason to Lose
Last winter I caught wind of a little smack talk that was going on in Geoff's place of employment. It seemed that a co-worker of his, who happened to also attend the same gym that we did, had a thing or two to say about "chicks" in the fitness field. Something along the lines of "no woman could ever train me hard enough to actually give me a good workout". Of course I was annoyed by the Continue reading →
“My Game, My Rules.”
This morning, as I was sluggishly trying to escape the death grip that is my warm bed on a cold morning, Geoff looked at me and said "your Spartan knees are gone". I looked down at my bare legs and realized he was right: the cuts and scrapes that decorated my knees for the last few months had finally healed, and other than some faint scarring, had all but disappeared. I shook my head at the Continue reading →
