My neighbor was cleaning out her basement and asked if I was interested in anything that was otherwise going to Goodwill. One of the things she unearthed was a piece of exercise equipment that I had remembered seeing advertised a while back. Not wanting to pass on an opportunity to get free exercise, I took [...]
I met my running goal… I jogged for 30 minutes straight without stopping to walk any of it. I’m ecstatic that I met the goal, not really doubting that I would (those pushups are another story!) but I’ve really just come to realize that I will never really enjoy running.

On Friday afternoons, hubby and I go out for lunch with our preschooler. It is a way for us to get out of the house once in a while, as we both work out of our house. Home offices are great, but when you do, it’s possible to start feeling a little disconnected from the [...]
