Fitness does not have to cost a fortune! Yes, you can spend as much as you want, but with little a patience and keeping your eyes open, you can find fitness equipement either on sale or at a nice discount! For starters, there are many options for used equipment out there! Play It Again Sports […]
Ask any runner what their “must have’s” for a good run, and they won’t have to stop and think long before they will rattle off their list. I will admit, I am the same way. There are many items that are always on my list, in my bag, on the shopping list… But one thing […]
Ok, it’s been a while since my last post… and posts have been scarce in the last few month. I really didn’t fall off the face of the earth! Just a short post today to keep you all in the loop on the crazy last month! But don’t worry, I have not been just sitting […]
Fitness Follow-up Friday is here! Well, it was here a few days ago but since we were out of town for the weekend, I didn’t have a chance to post it until now! Several people have asked what all is included in my weekly fitness. So going forward, I am going to try and give […]

Last summer I did my first ever trail run – a 5k just a few miles from home that ended by running up the tubing hill. This year it was time to up the ante! The Cliffrunner 10 trail run down at High Cliff State Park was the chosen target. Before this weekend, I had […]
They say that time flies when you are having fun… this has been so true for this summer! It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that I was putting in some freezing cold miles in the bitter cold of the “brisk” winter we had here in Wisconsin. Now we are halfway through […]
What a morning! Back in February when I signed up for the Scheels Run for Home 5k, I figured it would be just another early Saturday race morning… little did I know this was going to be the same day as the Summer Slimdown Challenge kickoff at the gym! I had to figure out how […]
