It's Tuesdays on the Run and today we're talking fitness trackers. Which is right up my alley, because I adore my #GarminVivoactive -- warts and all. Because like any piece of technology, it's got its pros and cons. I resisted a fitness tracker for a long, long time -- obviously, as the Vivoactive is my first fitness … Continue reading Is a Garmin Vivoactive the right fitness tracker/GPS watch for you?

5 running pet peeves
Tuesdays on the Run subject today is running pet peeves, but wouldn't you know I already wrote a post titled that -- you can read it here; it was part of another linkup, Wednesday Word, but I'm sure I can come up with a few more (this week's word is carefree, by the way, if you're searching for … Continue reading 5 running pet peeves
Who’s afraid of the big, bad, long run?
I started to write a post about hydration, since that's the suggested topic for this week's Tuesdays on the Run, but I have to admit the subject didn't really grab me and really, what could I add that the 20 or more other bloggers won't already throw out there?

That we are raising generations of kids that think they deserve medals for showing up. Yet we expect medals … Continue reading They blinded me with bling!

Injuries have led to some really miserable races and runs, though. Today I'm … Continue reading Why Injuries can be Good

Treating running injuries
No one wants to be injured. And when you're injured, you don't want to be told not to run. Today I'm joining Erika @ MCM Mama Runs, April @ Run the great wide somewhere and Patty @ My no-guilt life! to talk about alternative treatment for running injuries. My brother-in-law is a chiropractor, but ironically it was … Continue reading Treating running injuries
