Workout Mistakes My Trainer Wishes I Would Stop Making
I have mentioned before how I have been working out with the same trainer for about 12 years now. That's a lot of workouts! The other day, he happened to mention that he wished I would stop making some of the same workout mistakes over and over again. That got me thinking, that maybe, some of you might be making some of the same workout mistakes that I am without even know it. Swaying during resistance moves Apparently, I have the tendency to shift my weight during some resistance training … [Read more...]
Spinach, Eggplant and White Bean Burgers
Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. Today's recipe kind of came together as I was searching around in my fridge for something to make.

The Teacher Becomes the Student
Joining in on today's Wednesday Word fun with Deb Runs. When I saw the word "teach" for today I immediately thought about my recent experiences coaching Girls On The Run.

Go Bold or Go home
I used to be the girl who stayed in her comfort zone. Reliable? Always. Predictable and boring? Hmm, Perhaps. However, the last few years, I have become much more comfortable and confident with my athletic abilities and ready to be a little more bold and daring. When I first heard of overnight relay races, I thought, "Who does that?" "No way would I ever be running in the middle of night in the middle of nowhere". Fast forward a few years and I've now done 3 of them! Oh yeah, I found … [Read more...]
In Search Of The Runner’s High
Often at the beginning of yoga class, my instructor will start the class with an intention or theme for that day's practice. I admit, I normally don't pay much attention to this and I am ready to just get right into my downdog. Last week, however, my instructor was talking about running and about achieving a runner's high. Now that got my attention! She was explaining that yoga itself was really a fusion of mind, body and spirit. My instructor went further to say that if one could truly achieve … [Read more...]

Reston Century Bike Ride & Sassy Cyclist
This past Sunday, I roped Coco and my friend Rachel, into joining me to ride part of the Reston Century bike course. We opted to do the 35 mile half metric course mostly because none of us felt trained for the longer 65 or 100 mile distance. The ride starts in the Reston, VA town center and heads west into the towns of Herndon and Ashburn, VA. The century ride is an untimed bike course that starts at your leisure which is a major plus for me. The fact that it is untimed makes it so much … [Read more...]
