It turns out the snow weather.com predicted is mostly a rainy mess. It's dark, wet and drab outside. All I want to do in between training clients and teaching classes is take a nap. To sparkly things up a bit and in honor of being the blogger of the month at Sparkly Soul Inc., today I'm giving away two fun headbands to one reader. Being the blogger of the month for Sparkly Soul Inc. during the … [Read more...] about A Little Sparkle on a Dreary Day {giveaway}

Tips for Your First Winter Run in the Snow
Rumor has it, snow is on it's way to NYC! If you've been reading this blog for any amount of time then you know I'm crazy about the snow. Snow runs are my favorite, but only particular types of snow make for good running conditions. Too much ice and too many puddles between me and Central Park and I'm likely to take a spin class instead of hitting up the treadmill or risking the outdoors. However, … [Read more...] about Tips for Your First Winter Run in the Snow
Say it, Do it! {on not saying it, nor doing it}

The Goal in My Heart
There are so many thoughts in my mind about Richmond and also the marathon that wasn't. I keep trying to come up with other topics to write about, but this one has been in the forefront of my mind for several days. In some ways I want to list all the reasons the cards were stacked against me in Richmond. In other ways I want to write a "fight, fight, fight!" song about future running plans and … [Read more...] about The Goal in My Heart
