A few months ago, I started my BeachBody journey with a challenge group, and almost immediately was on board with the ideals, the concepts, and of course the results I was seeing. Over the last 10 years, I'd made great progress, and then fell into deep troughs of bad decisions and tough times, and would …

Twitter is a fabulous thing. It often helps me find new, fun things to do, meet great people, and sometimes a outlet to vent. Last weekend I skipped my usual Saturday morning park workout to join in on one of the fun things I learned about from Twitter. The Under Armour team brought their #IWillWhatIWant …
On a fairly regular basis I hear people say they'd run or workout if they had time. I've been guilty of saying it on more than one occasion. There are days, like today, when I was at work for 12 hours. I wasn't working from home, so I couldn't a quick HIIT workout between meetings, …

In 2012, I traveled more than 25 weeks for work or fun. My workouts and nutrition we sporadically good, but often sub-par. I was consistently under a crazy amount of stress, slept an average of 5 hours a night, and, as it turns out, was in a fairly unhappy relationship on top of it all. …
One could not have asked for a more perfect weekend of weather than this past weekend. It was perfect for accomplishing what I set out to do: Friday: 4 mile run & runners yoga My run felt amazing. I hadn't run in 5 days due to a horrible chest cold, so my legs were fresh …
