There’s something about the preparation of running that gets my blood pumping and my muscles ready to run. It’s especially prevalent when I put on what I call real running gear because I feel more hardcore. The fit is better and I know that I am going to be able to move and not have …

When I first shifted my identity from teammate to runner, I was in my sophomore year at Furman University. My roommate could have easily walked onto the cross country team and I knew there was no way that I could keep up with her, so I forged my own path into runner. I began with …

Although I love a good rainy run, when there is lightning, then you have to find another routine. I don’t know about you, but I have my go to alternative cardio routine that I sometimes think is harder than my typical runs. I use Biggest Loser’s Cardio Max. I first bought the DVD when I …
Just saw this 5K on the sign of a bank. The course goes through UNC Asheville and it’s a great cause, especially for a former teacher like me who knows how many families with children with autism, can’t pay for the resources they need! I am excited to get back into the 5K circuit and …
