Tell your dreams they have a chance! #liveBIG
I love being my own boss! Both my husband and I are children of entrepreneurs so I guess it was just natural for us to start our own business almost 20 years ago. Unfortunately the part of our business I love, helping people, is not the part I do on a day to day basis. […]
The Milk Run: A 5K to Support Nursing Moms
Although I have officially begun marathon training, this time I plan to include a few shorter races in my training schedule. Since I have rediscovered my running passion is racing the shorter distances, I feel that this decision will help me maintain the speed I have developed over the spring and summer and break up […]

Fall: A Season for Change
Though its not quite Fall, I have officially changed from 5K training to training for my final (well maybe, I reserve the right to change my mind) marathon. This year has been a season of change for me which began in the Fall of 2013 with my only child leaving for college, a very slow marathon […]
Dreams, Goals and Proof That Small Changes Add Up to Big Results!
Goals are dreams with deadlines! Many times we dream about things that we wish would take place in our lives: a better job, a new house, obtain my ideal weight and maintain it, run a 5K or marathon PR, being able to travel or send our kids to private school. Why is it that sometimes […]
Make Better Use of Your Time Online
Part of my journey to better health includes learning how to spend my time doing the things I want to do! It is so easy to get caught up in time wasting activities such as internet surfing and checking email. Are you like me and guilty of having an inbox full of emails that haven’t […]
Celebrate Your Independence
Independence Day! The 4th of July! A special day for our nation. This weekend I found myself reflecting on just what it means. We celebrate, have fun, spend time with family and shoot fireworks, but think about it, I imagine the patriots back in 1776 were excited, nervous and shaking in their boots! Can you […]
Mediterranean Quinoa and Chickpea Salad
In my efforts to learn more about nutrition for runners I have been reading Matt Fitzgerald’s book entitled Racing Weight and experimenting with recipes from his corresponding cookbook which he co-created with Georgie Fear. This Mediterranean salad is from their cookbook and is not only crazy delicious but super easy to make and jammed packed with appetite […]
Cook Once Eat Twice: Venison and Veggies
Do you often find yourself stressing over what to fix for dinner? Do you resort to that frozen pizza you’ve got in the freezer or do you stop and pick up something on the way home because you don’t have enough time to fix a healthy meal and quite frankly you are hungry now! Too many […]
Easy Gumbo: Venison Style
Deer Season is a BIG Deal in my family! I did not grow up eating wild game, so learning to cook with venison has been a bit of a process! While it’s a lot of work, we have found that we enjoy the meat more if we process it ourselves. We invested in a meat […]
