I’ve been hiding a bit of issue. I’m a triathlete scared of the bike. First, let me back up. Last May, with no experience of riding a road bike, I signed up for a triathlon. No problem I thought. I’m a regular at spin class, how hard can it be? Well, I found out it… Continue reading Triathlete Scared of the Bike

Fueling for a Marathon
They say what you do in practice, you do in the game. With that in mind, when you are training for a marathon, your weekly long runs take on a whole new meaning. With a month until my marathon, I have an 18-mile long run planned for tomorrow. Before I learned about marathon… Continue reading Fueling for a Marathon
InstaPhysique
InstaPhysique in Sacramento is a straight up amazing workout. For those who haven’t been to their beautiful studio on Fair Oaks Blvd in Arden-Arcade, you have to try it out. First off, I have to say the instructors are super nice, but they are also superheroes in my mind. The class is no… Continue reading InstaPhysique
New to the Gym
If you were a regular at the gym over the past few weeks, it’s likely you had your choice of treadmills or no problem getting your favorite bike in spin class. It’s hard to find a new gym goer the last week in December. And of course, come January 2, that will all change. At least for… Continue reading New to the Gym

But I can tell you how I feel. In short: Much stronger. Particularly in my core and shoulders. Two places I… Continue reading benefits of kettlebells
First Marathon Experience
Ten days ago, I set off on my long distance run for the week. Maybe I’d hit 15 miles. Instead, I ended up having my first marathon experience by completely 26.2 miles. That really wasn’t my plan. It just sort of happened. Not that I wasn’t running regularly. I ran 13 miles a week earlier… Continue reading First Marathon Experience

Dislike Yoga
I really wish that I didn’t dislike yoga. I’d love to be writing a post right now about how dedicated I am to my yoga practice. My only hang up is about 90% of the time I take a yoga class, I feel like I’m totally suffering. And I just don’t get it. I… Continue reading Dislike Yoga
Power of Group Workouts
When it comes to working out, I’m a firm believer in the power of group workouts. But, I didn’t use to be this way. Until about two years ago, I was a solo runner. I liked the idea of working out when I wanted to, and at my own pace. However, everything changed… Continue reading Power of Group Workouts
