My kids are pretty understanding about all the time I spend running and blogging, so when I got the opportunity to let one of my kids try out a cool new Petz game for the Nintendo 3DS called Petz Beach, I jumped on it. When I told Shoo he was getting to do his first…

Tips for staying active during the holidays
It’s Friday, which means time for Friday Five and the topic is staying healthy over the holidays. But today, I’ve got a little twist on my usual post.

Tips for using a scale to your advantage
Confession: I step on a scale on a regular basis. (I also use credit cards, but that’s a post for a different type of blog LOL) So, when I was offered the chance to try out the EatSmart Precision MaxView Digital Bathroom Scale w/ 4.5″ Backlit LCD Display, I was totally on board. I use…

It’s Tuesdays on the Run again! Today we are talking about our favorite running products, so join Patty, April, and me by linking up a post about one of your favorites. I had a surprisingly hard time figuring out what to write for this. If I find something I like, I tend to talk about…
Vapor Fresh® Sports Laundry Detergent Review
I like to travel. I always have. In recent years, I’ve added a new dimension to that travel: the racecation. Just this year alone, I’ve done 5 half marathons in 5 days and half marathons in Maryland, Delaware, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Ireland. What does that have to do with sports laundry detergent? Well, have…
Lookin’ cute on the run
As I mentioned earlier this week, I have been doing everything I can to find my run love. (I felt teeny tiny flashes this week!) One of the things that helps make me want to run is to wear cute clothing. I know, totally shallow, but if it works, I’ll take it. So, when Skirt…
21 Day Reset and Pure Barre
From September 8-September 28, I participated in Laura Peifer’s 21 Day Reset. She offered me the opportunity to participate for free in exchange for discussing my experience on my blog.

Five favorite things I used at Ragnar
I promise legs 2 and 3 are coming soon, but this has been a rough week with two back to school nights. I’m just plain wiped out at this point. (Case in point – I overslept this morning for the first time in ages. Thankfully Beer Geek woke me up before I slept past when…
iherb.com review and giveaway
I know you all really want to know about how Ragnar went. Short answer: It.was.awesome. I promise to tell you more later, but I’m still catching up on sleep and chores. So, let’s talk about iherb.com. When they first contacted me and offered me a gift certificate to try their site, I wasn’t at all…
Friday 5: Five foods I got to try this spring

I heart compression – Tuesdays on the Run
Compression socks, that is! I haven’t ever tried to cram my {ahem} substantial thighs into compression tights. Anyways, for today’s Tuesdays on the Run topic, April, Patty, and I chose “summer clothing”. Since I’ve waxed poetic about my skirts before and I don’t really wear anything special for clothing in the summer (seriously, Champion shirt…
