By JessieAs we have mentioned several times by now, LL and I were in Big Sky, Montana over the past 4 days. We had three full days of skiing/snowboarding on the mountain, with one day of rest (i.e. shopping and Norris Hot Springs).This morning, our alarms went off at 3:00 am, for the drive back to Bozeman for a 6 am flight.Unfortunately (though fortunately for those who still had another day to Continue Reading

We both found several items that we would Continue Reading
Fitting Debates: To Eat or Not To Eat

Fundamental Fit: Stand Tall, Eyes Forward

By JessieIt's raining out there, Minneapolis! It's wet, it's muddy, and it's probably not your favorite time to run.But don't fret! Just because it's raining, doesn't mean you should skip your run. My husband and I ran the Twin Cities Marathon in 2008, when it was pouring rain the entire time. And afterwards, we both remarked on what an adventure it was. We still had good experiences.Rain does not Continue Reading
