The Numbers Game
I don’t weigh myself. I’ve always felt that the numbers game wasn’t as relevant as other factors, namely how you feel and how your clothes fit. It wasn’t until I broke my foot that I started to realize how true that was. When I went to urgent care, they weighed me: 151.5 lbs. Eight weeks […] Read More
Kid Fitness: Starting Them Early
I have a very active four-year-old son. He’s in constant motion from the time he wakes up until the moment he falls asleep. We watch very little television and his only exposure to video games (so far) involves Wii Sports. I know that he’s an anomaly, and not everyone is so lucky. I have great […] Read More

Can Wine Keep You Young?
When I saw the headline on WebMD, “Is Drinking Wine a Key to Antiaging?” I had to admit that my first response was that I hoped not. For those of us with allergies to sulfites — the preservative used in wine, some vinegars and dried fruits — all of this news about the wonders of […] Read More
Training and Traveling
I’ve been taking my commitment to Team in Training seriously. I’ve gotten up at 6:00 a.m. or earlier each morning of my trip and run somewhere between 2-3 miles each day. I gave some thought to running more than that, but with sessions starting at 8:00 a.m. and events running until midnight and beyond, there wasn’t […] Read More
