My job is not boring… I missed the excitement by about 30 minutes… When I got to my client’s home she told me that animal control had just left with the little guy. Who knows how he had gotten into the house, but apparently he was looking for some exercise tips. My client’s husband had […]
My morning started with a three-mile run/walk with a client who wants to become a runner. Our current routine is to alternate running and walking in half-mile segments. After three miles we return to my house to do a little core work and stretching, and then she’s on her way. As soon as my client […]
Warning: Today’s post has nothing to do with running, maybe running around like a chicken, but nothing to do with lacing up my Asics and heading out on the trail… In addition to running, I love gardening! I grew up on a farm, so I guess it sort of makes sense that I love digging […]
A few weeks ago my family and I brainstormed about fun weekday post titles that I could use occasionally just to change things up. One of the ideas we came up with was… Today’s interpretation of “Top Ten Tuesday” is my list of ten fitness related things that make me happy. 1. Today while training […]
Yay, it’s Friday! After taking four days off to visit my parents, today was filled with make-up sessions with clients. Can just spend a second here to tell you that I have the nicest clients in the world? Yesterday my running friend Kati posted this on my facebook. You’ve got to go check out the […]
My client and I really needed to wear each others shoes today! As you can see in the following picture, my Adidas Boston jacket and Monica’s Saucony shoes were a perfect match! And this picture shows how beautifully my Asics GT2000 match Monica’s Under Armour shorts! We looked good together; as long as I stood […]
We are under tornado watch as I write this… It’s been a tough week for the running community, and I want to think of something happy! And boy-o-boy have I got just the right thing to show you and make us smile: A PUPPY!!! Meet Obbie… This photo was taken two years ago at the […]
For over three days I’ve been without my iPhone… It died on Friday night, so my first order of business when I got home from Blacksburg was to take care of replacing it. I run my business on my phone, and without it, I’m toast! I have running and fitness apps that I love […]
Bird Encounter #1: Tuesday morning I heard a eery screech and thought little children might be outside playing and making crazy sounds. I went to my living room window and saw this guy “singing.” After hearing him sing, I can now say that I “sing like a bird!” 🙂 As the week has […]
On Thursday, I posted One Word… and wrote the word “RUN” in several different languages; then asked if you knew which languages they were. I know them only because I googled them while writing the post. Not to brag, but I did know “run” and “unray” without looking them up. Injury update: This morning I […]
To celebrate Friday, here are some memes, cartoons, and funny cocktail napkins for you to enjoy! This Runner meme was the first one I saw and it cracked me up. You may have seen it, but I thought it was worth including. The Cruisers will tell you that “What I Really Do” below is so […]
One of the many reasons I’m looking forward to spring is because my laundry will go down dramatically when it gets warm! My husband and I are both runners, so you can only imagine the dirty laundry we go through, just counting our running clothes. I can’t wait for shorts, short sleeved shirts, and singlets! […]
