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. While I've shared discount codes in the past, it's not an event that I've had the chance to try for myself. That changes in July, as Kirk and I are pairing up with another couple to tackle our first Tough Mudder Half in Colorado. Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by my friends at Tough Mudder.

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. Here in Colorado, we are lucky that a short drive up into the foothills will bring cooler temps. And if you get up early, it is usually comfortable down in the Denver area. But when I lived in Atlanta, that was not the case. I've had my share of miserable, hot runs -- in addition to coaching athletes from Florida to Hong Kong. Our collective experiences inspired these tips to help you make runnign in the summer a little more manageable. 5 Summer Running Tips 1. 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

Top 5 Natural Cleaning Recipes (DIY)
A few years ago, I started focusing more on my overall health & I learned that anything I put in my body or on my skin could either help or hurt my health. The more I learned, the more I realized how many chemicals & toxins I was exposed to every day! So I decided to make a change and start shifting to more natural options. I always recommend making small changes (which add up quickly!), as it is much less overwhelming. I started by shifting my nutrition & supplements for a direct impact. Then I started moving through my "self-care" products: things like makeup, skin care, body wash & lotions, etc. In the last few months, I've started to pay more attention to cleaning. Cleaning took me a while to focus on, as it's something I don't spend much time on (or ... View Post
Why Sustainable Fashion Matters (featuring prAna)
When you make a purchase, how much do you think about the company behind the product? I've found that this has become more important to me over the past few years, particularly as I have increased my focus on a natural and sustainable approach to my own life. This is one reason that I feel good about working with prAna, as one of their core beliefs is to give much more than they take from the world. Wouldn't it be amazing if we all embraced that belief?
