Last Thursday, I attended a bodyART class at The Resistance Movement in St. Paul. The studio: The studio is brand-new, very modern, and clean. They have a full locker room and showers. A lot of boutique fitness studios do not offer showers onsite, so that is a nice bonus. The environment: Right away, I was welcomed warmly and given a full tour of the studio. The instructors were so nice to Continue Reading

On Sunday, October 9th, I completed my 25th marathon, the Twin Cities Marathon. It was a very special experience because I ran it with my sister Erin. It was my first experience pacing someone in a marathon. But after Dustin paced me twice this year (Phoenix & Cottonwood) I figured it was good running karma to pay it forward. I also thought it would be a perfect opportunity to run one of my Continue Reading
