Since we can’t go without our phones for more than two minutes, we should use them to our advantage when running. Right? Here are some running and fitness apps that I use or that I’ve heard about from friends. Please add your favorite apps in the comment section below. Track outdoor fitness activities, and connect […]
I’ve trained a lot of people during my career, and I never push them to become runners. Really, I don’t! Every once in a while, someone will tell me that they want to sign up for a race, and inside I’m jumping up and down screaming, “Yippee!” but outside, I’m like, “Oh, that’s cool.” Last […]
The Cruisers have a list of running and racing rules somewhere in facebook land. When facebook switched over its groups to a new format about two years ago, we lost all of our very organized silly rules that we had added over the years and organized in our notes section. Facebook decided theses notes would […]
This morning I overslept… I never oversleep, except twice in the last two months. Seriously, what’s up with that? This morning it cost me my morning run. I woke up as my BRF Susan was probably running back past our house for the second time wondering where I was. I had plenty of time to […]

I made a very simple 2012 New Year’s Resolution… to make time for early morning coffee with some of my gym friends at least once a month. Fourteen months later, I am keeping true to that promise; however, I am not a coffee or tea drinker. During the winter months I order hot chocolate, the […]
I’m one of those weird people that loves to workout. Please don’t hate me! I love running and I really do enjoy lifting weights. I like yoga if I’m in a class, but I’m not disciplined enough to do it on my own. I need to find a short beginner/intermediate yoga DVD to get me […]
