{Image borrowed from www.gctraining.hubpages.com}By: LLWhen I wake up in the morning for a longer run (>4 miles), I eat. When I teach an early morning spin class, I eat. When I do my workout (run, spin, elliptical, yoga sculpt, zumba) after work, I eat. However, when I do a short morning workout (30-50 minutes), I do not eat.I, like most of you, know my body well enough to know whether I should Continue Reading
Fundamental Fit: Stand Tall, Eyes Forward
By: LLAs I went for a run on my 5 mile loop the other day, on a gorgeous spring day - sunny, warm, soft breeze - I was really feeling my run. After about a mile, I found the rhythm of my feet on the pavement, matched with a nice easy breath. It was a great run. And then I almost tripped over a dog that darted in front of me.

We still had good experiences.Rain does not Continue Reading

Fresh New Fit: Running in the Spring
By: LLI love this time of year - when the weather is getting warmer (however slowly that may be) and the daylight hours are getting longer (less need to run with a headlamp). This is one of my favorite times to be a runner. As we all know a good run (or a good workout) can greatly improve your mood, but that good mood is intensified when you have the warm sun on your shoulders at 4:30 in the Continue Reading
