I have started a small womens running group in Roseville. It is set for every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30PM. There are only six of us so far but it is growing. The women are at all different levels. Some run, some walk, and some run walk. I thought it would be...

This morning while I was running pushing Lucas and Brodie in their running stroller, I heard another runner's foot steps behind me. Occasionally the sound of the footsteps would disappear, and then they would be back again. The sound of the footsteps getting closer motivated me to run...

Lucas and Brodie took great morning naps while I ran for 1 hour 15 minutes on Saturday, and rode my bike 1 hour 30 minutes on Sunday. They pretty much slept right through the entire run and bike ride. I had two well rested kids, and two very tired pair of legs by the end of the...

My 10 year old step daughter is showing some really great interest in fitness lately. She recently found the kids fitness section on demand, and has been doing the Denise Austin workout every morning. She also wants me to wake her up early so she can go on walks with me and our dog,...

Of my new self-flagellation tour: running in the morning. Before work. At 6 am.
I came to this decision grudgingly. It's unbelievably hot. The air is awful. And I need to exercise desperately.
So Monday I started with a half hour run down the path right outside my new home. Seriously, you...

Last Tuesday was quite the adventure. I thought the Chariot was hooked up and ready to roll until it got stuck between the rear wheels of mine and my husband's cars parked in the garage. By the time I got it unstuck, we were 20 minutes behind our scheduled departure time. I had...

I started running in January. It was very much against my will, at first. I was a sprinter when I ran in my younger days. Honestly, my longest run was the 440 relay (bah dum bum). And that seemed to last an eternity. I played soccer for years, but you're not constantly running. There are starts...

More than 3000 women of all ages ran or walked around the Capitol this morning at the Nike Women's Fitness Festival and 5K race. The event raised money for the non-profit organization WEAVE (Women Escaping A Violent Environment). I ran the 5K pushing Brodie and Lucas in their double...

The cost of gas has pushed me over the edge. As a result I decided to make a change. I can't control the cost of gas, but I can control how often I drive. So my goal is to drive my car less: no more than 2 times Mon-Fri and once during the weekend. It's possible to get out of...

Brodie and Lucas woke up at 4:45 AM. I would have rather stayed in bed sleeping. After changing diapers ad nursing the kids, Brodie fell back asleep! No such luck with Lucas. He was wide awake and doing baby acrobatics rolling all over the family room floor.
At 6:00 AM I...

At 6:00AM this past Saturday, my alarm rudely interrupted my blissful sleep to let me know it was time to get up, and get ready for the American River Parkway 5K run. Two hours later I found myself meeting fellow SacMomsClub mom AmandaS., live and in-person. We had chatted about the race ahead of...

I come from a family of marathon runners. I’m not talking hobby runners either; I’m talking “watch your back buddy or my medals will whap you as I leave you in the dust!!!” It may not be what you think though. When I say “I come from,” what I’m really...

There are dozens of songs about the beauty and magic of wintertime. While that is a lovely time of year, I've never lived in an area where it snows, so I miss out on much of the magic of the season. I came to the conclusion today as I was running that spring is the most magical time of year hands...

This week I saw three of the oddest sites in my neighborhood. My twins missed all three, as they were asleep or just paying attention to something else. I look forward to when the three of us can share what we see together. I know this time will come soon enough, as they are...
