So, last year, I wrote a very heartfelt post all about what I’d learned over my 24 years of marriage. I don’t really have anything new to add to that, but I did want to write something about our marriage as Scott and I are getting ready to celebrate 25 years together. I got to […]
Hate The Treadmill? NOT ME! Why I Love My Treadmill
I originally wrote this about a week ago and then, HAPPY SURPRISE it works perfectly with today’s Tuesday’s On The Run Link Up! If you’re looking for some great treadmill tips, head over and check it out. The poor treadmill. It gets a bad rap every time. It puts up with being called names (the […]

I’m Over 40 And I’ve Never Run – Is It Too Late For Me?
I was 42 when I ran the Chicago Marathon. I am currently 44 years old and I didn’t start running until I was 38. And I have MANY friends who started way later than I did (friends please comment so they don’t think I’m lying about you;). I’ve mentioned this before, but I believe it […]
How To Find Your #Running Tribe! Social Media for Runners!
When I first started running, I was a bit of a sponge. I was DYING for any and all information. Books, magazines, and, the grand-daddy of all research tools, THE INTERNET!

I can’t. I just seriously can’t. Why are you leaving me, Bravermans? WHY?!?!?! Here’s why it’s not OK: Zeek – the perfectly imperfect dad. He loves fierce and sometimes in a really unhealthy way. But it’s OK, because the motive is right even when the actions come out clunky and odd. The perfect ex-hippie/military man […]
5 Things That Can De-Rail Your Half Marathon or Marathon Training And What To do About Them
I’ve had more bad half and full marathons than good ones. By a lot. So I believe that makes me particularly and ridiculously qualified to talk about the things that can go wrong. In another post, I’ll go over the things that can go wrong in the race itself, but today, I want to talk […]
A Reminder To My Blogger Friends – Your Words ALWAYS Matter
If a blogger writes in a forrest, and no one is there to retweet it, did they really write? This past week, I participated in a 7 day writing challenge called the Your Turn Challenge that was born out of Seth Godin’s new book, What To Do When It’s Your Turn. I wrote every day […]
