I'm a 74-year old runner, and I've been running for over 37 years, including four marathons, and have had only one injury due to running. That injury happened in 2007 and was due to not giving my body enough rest. I had reduced my mileage while I was increasing my LSD pace. Then I started increasing my distance but made too big of weekly increments and was injured.Because of my age, I have to...

I'm living my dream. I have a soft spot for Sapphire martinis. I Google everything. I have Ab Fab girlfriends. I constantly have 5 projects in the works. I bake. I blog. I'm a Reality TV slut. (It's all TiVo's fault.) I can't say no to the beach. I have a love/hate relationship with Diet Coke. I love being at home. I'm hot for Teacher. A big piece of my heart is in Chicago. I don't like coffee,...

My blog started as a way to track my training for a marathon. Since then it has morphed into a place where I write about all things running and health related. It is also a great way to connect with others and even post about the various things of life in it. I hope you find these posts entertaining and helpful. If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know!

I live in Los Angeles, the capital of Smog and Trying to be Healthy. 5'9, I ignored my physical health for several years, assuming that since I didn't gain weight, I had nothing to worry about. A yoga class changed everything about my energy levels and suddenly, the world of getting well was a peak interest.

I'm a father of 3 boys and no way an elite athlete or in great shape. I’m just a regular Joe running through life and trying to survive one day at a time. Trying to stay happy, healthy and stress free through running. I have been competing in I races from 5k to half-marathons for over 5 years and now starting to do Triathlons. I enjoy helping people out and keeping them motivated. If you...

I'm a 20-something newlywed trying to get my life in shape!

I've always been a sucker for trying new things. (Late night infomercials are my kryptonite!) And, being the kind of person who can gain five pounds just smelling pizza and lose five pounds by dropping cheese for a week, I often apply this "What can I try next?" mentality to diet and exercise. My weight has fluctuated over the years. I played sports but I ate a good amount of McDonalds. I knew...

Vegetarian 7 years strong! And I love to bake!

Aside from a journalist, I'm a competitive long-distance runner and bonafide "health nut." I enjoy sharing what I know about how to live a healthfully in body, mind, and spirit. Since running is one of my biggest passions, I'll be sure to pass along various tips and tricks that have helped me become a better runner, whether that pertains to training regimes, diet, rest and recovery, or injury...

I spent my teens, 20's and 30's doing unhealthy things to my body and emotions and I've been trying to break those habits ever since. I started running when I was 46 and ran my first marathon when I was 47. Having completed 30 marathons in 18 states, I finally admitted that I'd like to complete all 50 states. Whether running, cycling or swimming I'm a front of the back of the packer who would...
