I have to admit, lately I feel like a total fraud. Not in the bilked millions from poor innocent people way but in the way where one claims to live a life that they’re not really living and lately . . . I’m not REALLY running. I am the running blogger who’s not really running. […]
On TV Pilots and Waiting and Fear of Moving and New Jobs
I am a huge fan of television pilots. Case in point: Parenthood. As we know, I adored the entire run of this amazingly well written, acted and yes, even styled, family drama. In fact, I loved it so much, I wrote about it when it went off the air and I was having Braverman withdrawal. […]

Still lots of conversations about how to treat women, how not to crash your car, why vegetables and sunscreen and exercise are important if […]
Running Rules I Break All The Time
I think we can all agree that there are LOTS of rules out there when it comes to running. Every time I turn around there’s a new article telling me, as a runner and a marathoner, what to do, what not to do, and (insert huge red screaming stop light here) things I’m NEVER to […]
FitBloggin 15! My First Blogging Conference
Sometime last year, I mentioned to my great friend and unofficial blogging mentor, Stephanie Suire, that I thought I was ready to take my blog to the next level. I’ve been very happy with my little space in the internet world, but I felt like I could be doing more to grow my readership and […]
My Most Real Race – My First Half Marathon
