Best Sleeping Positions for Runners

Let’s talk sleep. We all know that we need it and that we should probably get about 8 hours of it a night. Recently, however, I was talking about sleep with my sports therapist and she suggested that it is possible to sleep WRONG. Now, most people will wake up with a sore neck, feel… Read More…

Finding the Shoe That Fits

Finding the Shoe That Fits

Let’s talk shoes. And for once, it is NOT running shoes. It was a question I have been struggling with for…well, ever. What shoes do you wear when you are not running? As someone with fallen arches with orders to wear orthotics, I know that it isn’t my Louboutins. But I struggle almost daily when I take… Read More…

Why Technology Connects Us

I come from a family that is always on the move.  Whether it is snowboarding, rock climbing, off roading, hiking, swimming or a myriad of other sports, we are constantly exploring, discovering and surging onward. Being raised to be in motion, we find more and more that we are together less and less. We have… Read More…

Is there too much emphasis on ultra-distances in trail running media?

Is there too much emphasis on ultra-distances in trail running media?

Raise your hand if you are a competitive runner. I have been known to be photographed running with those horrid “knife hands” (you know the ones…) and wear a look of intense focus and an alarmingly fierce expression when racing. Unfortunately, when it comes to race distances, I am just as competitive but it stops being with… Read More…

The Best Dogs for Runners

The Best Dogs for Runners

I have mentioned that I am a huge fan of running with a friend. There is nothing more motivating than knowing that there is a person at the other end, waiting for you to show up and do some work. I was thinking this week about running with friends, and I feel a partner that… Read More…

Runner Fashion Fails

Recently, one of you found my blog by searching: Hope for bleak individuals who think that a hydration belt is a legitimate fashion choice. Um. Hi. I don’t know about you, but as a runner, I have wretched fashion. Chances are, if you see me, I will not only be hungry, but I will have… Read More…
