What do you look for when choosing a running race? Other than the distance, I look at the course profile, cost, and race swag. I bet I'm not alone in being disappointed when you finish a great race with nothing to show for it.

Tough Mudder Training Tips {+ Discount Code}
I love a good fitness challenge. While I tend to favor endurance challenges, I'm intrigued by many of the events that also test your strength. One of these that I've been considering for quite some time is the Tough Mudder, which is designed to test your all around fitness.

5 Summer Running Tips to Survive the Heat
When you see photos of summer, they are filled with palm trees, swimming pools, beach balls, and popsicles. As a runner, I have the tendency to think of hot long runs...and I start dreaming of Fall.

Run Early Morning runs are pretty common this time of year, as we are all trying to avoid the heat of the day. When I lived ... View Post
Summer Kickoff Leg Workout
Summer is (unofficially) here! We're spending the week on vacation in Mexico, where it's way too hot to wear pants. Strong legs help me climb the zip-line towers, run along the beach, and look great in shorts. A tough leg workout is a great way to build fat-burning muscles that you can show off this summer. This leg workout is one of the workouts from last month's online personal training program. This workout targets your glutes and quads, with just a few core movements at the end. I typically include a few core movements in my workouts throughout the week, as opposed to a dedicated core workout. You also want to keep your core engaged through the entire workout to lift safely and build additional core strength. ... View Post
