The real purpose of running isn’t to win a race; it’s to test the limits of the human heart. Bill Bowerman, Co-founder of Nike, Inc.
Why do people enter races? Whether 5K , half or full marathon, triathlon-reasons are as diverse as the individuals moving on their particular paths. Recently, I ran a local 5K. Though I might have been curious to see if my time was better than in ’03, my real reason, the one closest to my heart, …
Just Say It
Okay I will admit to doing this thing that I never took seriously because, in my life it just wasn’t important. Well, it turns out that it is. It turns out that it makes everything easier and gives me the structure and routine I need for consistent success and it is, quite simply… a schedule This …
Trod the Beaten Path
The road has been paved for you. You just need to take the first step… While I love thinking out of the box and moving forward innovatively, sometimes the best innovation I can offer myself is in watching what has been done before, and done well, and emulating that. I am clearly thinking about the couples …
Running Feet
What is the best, most delicious thing for running feet other than running? Massage is the best thing for running feet. Even the massage that is part of a good pedicure, where each and every toe is paid special attention to and ankles, arches and calves are touched deeply and strongly with hands smothered in …
Not Missing a Thing
There is life in all its totality. Family. Career. Areas of concern. Areas of influence. Responsibilities. Accountabilities. The occasional speed bump tossed into the mix. And it’s all so full a plate that it is easy to forget to breathe. This is when you are in that place that you find it difficult to take a …

Sometimes you have to get a little creative. Ok, a lot creative. To that end, I was tired of everything that showed its pretty face in the fridge. The soup. The cold salads. Even…dare I say it? The HUMMUS. And I realized that there was a certain bean that had been experiencing more than its …
Making This Vegan Life Work
I am definitely not one of those chicks who does not eat. I am well-acquainted with the Greek yogurt for breakfast, instant soup for lunch and ”…that’s the way to be skinny” mindset. What comes with that is droopy skin lacking in tone and healthy glow and a body that might look okay in small …
Broccoli Bulgur Basil Bliss
All I can say is that it is embarrassing to know the number of times my spoon has gone into the glass container originally packed full with Broccoli Bulgur Basil Bliss. I adore oil, lemon and basil. Tomatoes this time of year are just big ‘ol grapes that need a bite or two. And broccoli? …
Step Off That Beaten Path
Isn’t important to shake it up once in a while? Do something different? Go somewhere new? Take a chance? This is not big, but it made me very, very happy. I had to dispense from cooking today. Just quit for a day and put it on hold. Maybe my creative fires needed to smolder for …
Laundry Lessons
I heard them before I saw them. Three distinct giggles. In the direction of the corner laundromat, there they were. Three girls. Ten, eight, six, maybe. Dressed for the day. Hair pulled up with bright barrettes and beads. Ready for the day. It was six o’clock in the morning. Each carried a large black plastic …
