I got to celebrate my Grandpa’s birthday over the weekend. He turned 101 years old. To many this seems unreal, but to me it seems only “fit”ting. Grandpa was always someone who talked about health.

It’s becoming more and more obvious to me that I am not a writer or a great blogger. I am surrounded by inspiration, but I lack the skills to blog it effectively or I just keep putting it at the bottom of my to-do list. Or maybe it’s both 😉 While I was sitting here thinking of a blog post, …

Princess Half Marathon = DONE! It was a fun run, but not exactly what I imagined it would be. I planned to run the whole thing however, there were a few obstacles.

I hurt my ankle running in the snow a couple weeks ago so I didn’t run as much as I would have liked last week. But, I just got back from a long run. I have one long run left, the one I have been dreading…10 miles. There are less than two weeks of training remaining. There’s no turning back …

When I decided to start running, I joined a running group Facebook page …
It would be a lie if I said I had extra time to exercise. Because in reality, I don’t really have time with three kids (& no nanny), multiple businesses (& no personal assistant), a house (& no house cleaner), and since I am on a roll…I don’t have a chef either! I really could make a ton of excuses. …
