Less Than Desired: A Race Recap

Less Than Desired: A Race Recap

Yesterday I ran my 5th half marathon of 2012 in beautiful Falmouth, MA.  This was the first race in Cape Cod for Zooma Women’s Race Series.  So the big question of the day was if it is a women’s race, why were there guys running?  Hmmmmmm.

It was an hour and half drive so I was up at 4 am and out the door by 5 to pick up my race packet at … Read entire article »

A New Love?

A New Love?

First thing I must do is wish my fur baby a very happy 13th birthday. She is still a puppy at heart.  Love my Noah girl! A couple of weeks ago I mentioned hitting the driving range in my Supplement The Run post.  Well the main reason I was hitting the range was to prepare (if that was even possible) for our department Scramble Golf Tournament at beautiful golf course a few minutes from the office.  … Read entire article »

Blast From The Past: When Coaching Was Beneficial

Blast From The Past:  When Coaching Was Beneficial

Earlier this year, my favorite health coach left our company for a new positive job change. Where I am happy for him, I am sad to loose his coaching.
