I can’t be the only one that enjoys paying my bills, can I? It’s not a sentiment that I express out loud very often, because when I do I usually get the look. You know the one I’m talking about. When people look at you as if your forehead just sprouted a second pair of read more

Of fear and apps: A lazy runner’s guide to getting motivated
June 4, 2013 – 7:30 am
Even though I loved every run I managed to go on, I had to force myself out the door. As the weather got nicer and I saw more people running past my windows, I really started getting restless. I wanted to get out there but the motivation just wasn’t there. But then June rolled around…
Facing your fears (creatively)
March 19, 2013 – 7:30 am
Once upon a time I met a guy named Andy. We worked together, I in the PR department and he in the creative department of a non profit organization. Aside from being obviously creative, Andy was also fun and quirky and we became friends. Time passed and eventually we each headed our own separate ways to chase read more
Reviewing my Fitness Goals and the #Distance13 After Party
February 6, 2013 – 1:27 pm
Throughout the month of January I took part in an interesting online fitness challenge called Go the Distance 2013. Blog- and Facebook-based, the challenge was organized by Morgan (Life After Bagels), Krysten (Misadventures of a Darwinian Fail), Jess (Truly Into Fitness), and Robyn (Robyn Baldwin.com)– an amazing bunch of health and fitness bloggers and all read more
On running and kicking self-doubt in the face
January 16, 2013 – 7:30 am
It’s hard to believe that California is only two days away. Harder still to fathom is the fact I’ll be running my very first half marathon in the Disneyland Tinker Bell Half Marathon weekend while I’m there! Back when Llisa and I first decided to do this, it felt forever away. Like, January 2013 was read more
On my morning run
November 28, 2012 – 2:18 pm
Getting out of bed at 5 a.m. is not fun. Getting out of bed at 5 a.m. is especially not fun when it’s cold out and all you want to do it stay curled up in your toasty bed. But you can’t run in bed (although if you could, I would be a world champion) read more
An overdue retelling of my Midsummer Night’s Run
September 19, 2012 – 1:10 pm
Well friends, it only took a month but I’m finally getting around to writing about the Midsummer Night’s Run that my friend Llisa and I participated in. But I made a video to go along with the post so that’s gotta be worth waiting for, right? Maybe? Whatever. August 18th kind of crept up on read more
Je comprends un petit peu
July 24, 2012 – 3:48 pm
I made this video last week, just before embarking on a four day adventure in the wilds of northern Quebec. With 2012 being half over, I figured this was the perfect time to reflect on my progress with the whole “Year of Better Living” thing thus far. All-in-all, things have been going really well; better read more
Tinkerbell Half Marathon: Thoughts on goals and that point-of-no-return
June 19, 2012 – 2:33 pm
There’s something about stepping over that point-of-no-return that makes working toward a goal so much more real. Actually, that whole point-of-no-return thing is probably exactly that “something” I’m referring to but, whatever. When we set a goal for ourselves, I think we all have that point when it shifts from a fanciful “wouldn’t it be read more
Outrunning the Zombie Apocalypse (a “Zombies, Run!” app video and review)
May 31, 2012 – 12:23 pm
Yes, my friends, the zombie apocalypse is apparently on its way and if you want to escape a doomed existence as zombie fodder or a card-carrying member of the shambling masses, you’d better work on your cardio. Or at least that’s the conclusion my friends and I came to yesterday on Twitter after reading this read more
