Runners – have you seen this meme? This is me when it comes to selecting long sleeve shirts! I I think Kate at Big Peach Running Co. might have turned me on to them a while ago and since then I’ve come to love them and prefer the thumbhole shirt over normal long sleeves. Why all that fuss over thumbholes? When you start a run and it is slightly chilly, but not that chilly that you’ll need gloves for your run –…

Being a busy working athlete, I’m always on the lookout for easy to carry nutrition that I can eat on the go and that can stay at the bottom of my purse until the day I am hungrily digging through it frantically. And bars are an essential part of my repertoire. I stash a variety…

I was looking to change things up when I received this DVD from Cathe. The ‘All Out Low Impact HIIT’ is part of the X-Train series. When I first got the DVD, I was…
