Why do you exercise? What drives you to get out of your warm bed, in the wee hours of the morning, and lace up those kicks so that you can hit the pavement? What motivates you to plan your days so that you’re able to consistently spend quality time at the [...]
Drumroll… Welcome today’s guest writer, my running partner extraordinaire, Jerri Wright! She is an expert on all things nutrition. She can whip up a batch of tasty cupcakes with nothing but aguave necter and almond flour (neither of which are ever in my cupboard, but whatever) plus she is MY RUNNING PARTNER. And I love [...]
If you want to run strong this fall, now is the time to condition. A good regimen will target your quads, hams, and glutes to increase your speed and power.
When it comes to conditioning, sometimes it is hard to know where to start. Running is so darned simple—it seems like a travesty to junk it [...]

The key to a safe summer run is WATER. Nothing is more important. [...]
It’s hot ya’ll.
If you’ve granted your Mizuno’s a three-month sabbatical, HOLD ON GIRL!
Summer is the best time to lay a foundation for fall road races. Build your mileage slowly so you can upgrade your race distance when the season resumes. If athletic achievement isn’t enough motivation, how about the issue of, ahem, swimwear?

Running in the [...]
All right you Running Mamas let’s talk some business. Fall is here. Forget autumn foliage. Forget pumpkin spice lattes. Forget Old Navy pullovers. The best part of fall is running. No more trespassing through lawn sprinklers to fend off heatstroke. Glory!!! Nothing beats a chilly run. I love seeing my breath as I lace up my [...]
My running partner, Jerri, and I have gotten very close in our three years of yapping running together. Things between us got honest right away, since we both have unflattering mucous habits during exercise. You can’t put on airs while hocking and blowing phlegm every quarter mile, and we settled for intimate friendship over mutual disgust. Recently, we decided to use our [...]
After a few more weeks of pure baby devotion, I slowly went back to running. Once I could rest, I saw that I wasn’t completely starting over. My legs felt sore, but my lungs hung in pretty well.
I sputtered along as Emily’s half-hearted, second-rate running partner though our schedules were different now. Emily needed to [...]
Obviously, there’s the birth, which is no spa pedicure. Toby’s was light years easier than his brothers would be two years later. I was induced in the morning and he arrived at 2:05 under the covering of the single greatest breakthrough in modern medicine: a la epidurale.
Emily was greasing up [...]
Emily would not go down without a fight. She was intensely devoted to my pregnancy fitness. It was my first baby and my head floated in a cloudy plain somewhere between neurotic jubilation and maternal fantasy (when I wasn’t dry-heaving on the front lawn). Emily however, was googling specialty workout ideas and buying prenatal Yoga [...]
