5 Tips to Prep for Spring Running
There is so much to love about Spring Running: more sunshine, flowers, leaves on the trees, birds chirping away. It's not all daffodils and lilies, though! Best to be prepared for the curveballs Spring might throw you -- or just prepare for Spring in general! Protect your eyes! It's the rare day I run without … Continue reading 5 Tips to Prep for Spring Running
Sighting Spring: 3/15 – 21 WRD
Spring is slowly unfurling, bit by little bit. No we don't have flowers yet or leaves on the trees, but we can see they're coming and that's always such a hopeful sign. What will you plant this Spring? Literally? Spiritually?

5 Ways to Turn Your Thoughts Around
Is it just me, or do you also have "Turning the Beat Around" stuck in your head now? #sorrynotsorry We all have runs that are harder than they should be -- simply because we allow all those negative voices in our head free reign.

We’ve come a long way, baby!
It's Women's History month -- what better time to take a little stroll through the long and winding road of women's running. I think women have been running through the ages, in one way or another, but it's humbling to remember that not so long ago running and women were rarely heard in the same … Continue reading We’ve come a long way, baby!
Marching in: 3/1 – 7 WRD
I'd like to say that Spring is marching in, but it sure seemed much more like Winter this week. A few dustings of snow, frigid temps with howling winds. Our hawks came back to roost, though, so surely Spring is on its way? I could have also titled this Breaking Away (remember that movie?), since … Continue reading Marching in: 3/1 – 7 WRD
