Race Day is Coming!

Do not reward yourself with food. We don't work out to earn treats. It is about balance and lifestyle and healthy from the inside out. Your number on the scale is not an indication of your level of health.

We have all been conditioned to turn to food for comfort, for celebration, for our feelings. Food was […]

Healthy Celebrations

Bug Bit! I've officially been bit...by the running bug - Becka's Boot Camp I have never considered myself a runner. I always thought my arthritis would stop me. I have never felt in the zone. But it is great and I look forward to my runs every day. And what can be better than training for a relay run with a bunch of friends.
