I'm still riding my "Boston Qualifier" high, as well as taking a little break from running. I have taken a [solidcore] class or two, but have otherwise just been relaxing. However, I have to admit a week off is giving me the itch to get started again! In addition to wanting to run again, I want to try to incorporate more cross training in, at least as much as I can while training for the London Continue Reading

Like many athletes, I have had my fair share of injuries, but the one that seems to plague me the most is the darn IT band. By really focusing on core and gluteal strength as well as the occasional A.R.T. & Graston treatment, I have usually been able to mitigate this issue.

I don't think we have had family photos taken of us since were quite young. It's very rare that all 7 of us (5 daughters, 2 parents) and all the husbands/grandkids are together at one time, so it seemed like a perfect Continue Reading
Fresh New Fit: Moksha Yoga
By JessieSo, my full week of no running after the St. George marathon is over. The hubby and I went for an easy 4 mile jog with Ms. Matilda (the doggy), and felt pretty good. My legs were a little heavy and sore, but nothing too bad. Eight weeks now until the St. Jude Memphis Marathon on December 3rd!
