Our mission is to broaden and promote the health benefits of running while also encouraging runners to donate to their own favorite charity on this special day.” Here are 5 ways you can celebrate: 1) Go [...]

I haven’t been able to run in about 6 months. I love to run. Back in March, during one of my training runs for the Boston Marathon, I had some pain in my left arch. I iced it, rested it and ran again. It felt okay. Then I went to an event in NYC and wore mega high heeled boots [...]

Week 6 of Barry’s C25K training ended with an epic 2 mile run and some extragalactic humor. I think this week set the tone for every run, every bike ride, every swim, every step I’ll take in my life from this moment on… APPROACH WITH CONFIDENCE, A GOAL AND A SOH (SENSE OF HUMOR). At 63, Barry wants to run [...]

I love being active. I love being fashionable. But I really love easy, stylish and VERSATILE fashionable active-wear. Well, I don’t think anything can compare to my 4all by jofit Draped Ruffle Tank.  If a tank top can be a new best friend… this is it! Just take a peek where the two of us hung out together this weekend. [...]

63 C25K sounds like some kind of secret code. In a way, it is. My husband Barry is 63 years old and he’s training with the C25K program to run his *first 5K race. (There is that little *asterisk because Barry has run a 5K here and there over the years with absolutely no training what-so-ever and lived to regret [...]

Well, we’re definitely off the Couch. Barry and I headed out just before the rains really came on Saturday… We got plenty wet, but it was quite fun anyway. Barry hasn’t missed one training day of our C25K and he’s feeling physically and mentally strong on his journey to his first 5K in October. I have a little trick for [...]

Three years ago this September, I stood on the sidelines of the 2008 Downtown Providence CVS/Caremark 5K and watched my grandchildren, my children, many friends and tens of thousands of people compete in the kids’ races and the 5K. Their smiles, their camaraderie, their arms raised in victory and even their sweat inspired me to go home that same day, [...]

When I first began to run a little over 2.5 years ago, if you had asked me what a FuelBelt is, I would have answered, “Something for a car.” That may be true, but FuelBelt in the running sense for me has come to mean the difference between running.  Or not. I’ve experimented with running gear. I’ve tried different running [...]

These are my swimsuits, hanging to dry on little white hooks in my bathtub… Wait a minute.  I haven’t worn one of these colorful little numbers in… um… 8 months. (I think they’re probably dry by now.) This is my bike.  Well, mine is the lime green Cannondale behind my husband Barry’s red one.  See it?  Leaning against the lawn [...]

Today my mom is running her first MARATHON! I’m so proud of her… She’s been training hard for months now, and today is the day all of it will come together! I took the boys to meet her at mile 11 this morning, and we got some high-fives and a big kiss from her! GO MOM!!
