When Training, Kids, and Charity Collide

httpv://youtu.be/JKJo67TMmec This past Sunday, I completed my third half-marathon. I am not a runner, nor do I really care if I ever am. Some may say it’s their legs that get them through long races, I say it’s my heart. I didn’t quite train as much as I had intended, funny how life gets in [...]

Spring in2 Action Weigh-In/Week 4

Knock knock.  Anyone there?  It looks like some of us have lost our get up and go.  In my case, my get up and go has gone up in smoke and flames, heavy on the flames.  The last four weeks have been incredibly stressful and busy for me and dare I say it- the first [...]
