Running – 4/10 – The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans LLC

We’re starting a new segment here at Shrinking Jeans called Runners Corner.  Now, I know not everyone is a runner around these parts but I do know there is a large group of us that are.  And don’t give me that baloney about *I run/walk*, sometimes *I walk more than I run*, or *I only […]

Why do I find it so easy to toot everyone else’s horn and so difficult to toot my own horn? I’ve been thinking about this post all day long, trying to get myself *tooting* along (snicker snicker). Regardless, it’s time for each and every one of us to share the positive from the past week, […]

Some are related to health and fitness, some are not. Shall we begin? I need to register for the 3M Half Marathon on January 13th and also, I need to make some time to buy new running shoes too. My feet hurt.  And while I am thinking about running, am I ready to commit or […]

If you run, Zumba, crossfit or kickbox, if you do pretty much any kind of exercise, your feet take a beating. Sometimes they need some TLC! If you’re lucky enough to get a pedicure regularly or have a significant other who loves to give foot massages, well, this post isn’t for you. So why don’t […]

I was with a friend at a cook out over Labor Day weekend when we got to talking about an upcoming 10k and 5k  in our area.  Like me, she is relatively new to the whole running thing. When I looked at the registration form online, I grew a bit intimidated.  It had too many […]

I joined a local running club last year  to help in my quest to transition from a walker to a runner.  We meet on Sunday mornings for a group run. By  Monday morning, our coach emails us our “homework” for the week. The homework varies, depending on whether you are in the 5k, 10k, or […]

  This is a tale of two people. One has this on her mind: She thinks often of her quest for fitness. She has learned the importance and value of exercise for both her health and her sanity. She fits workouts into a busy schedule. She moves. She breathes. She feels good about her efforts […]

Bachelorette Winner Ryan Sutter, chosen by Trista on the first season of the Bachelorette (you know you watched it!), is currently running the 120-mile/six-day Gore-Tex TransRockies Run from Buena Vista, Colo., to Beaver Creek, Colo., and raising money for two charities: Grassroot Soccer and First Descents. As most of us know, training for and racing any distance race takes commitment, dedication, and […]

Got your attention, yet?! I’m here to talk about eye candy, specifically eye candy at the gym.  You see, most of the time when I exercise a the gym, it’s during prime-time mommy time.  Meaning, a morning week day between the hours of 8:30am and 11am.  The older kids have been dropped off at school […]

It has been 18 days since I arrived with the times and purchased my first smartphone, which meant giving up this bad boy, also known as my Fischer-Price phone. Now I am the proud owner of an  iPhone 4S. How did I ever live without it?  In just two short weeks it has become a […]
