Stadium Fitness at The Rose Bowl – An "Only in LA" Fitness Experience

I’ve mentioned in a previous post that I have at least 5 LA Fitness experiences that I’m dying to try. The goal was to get to all 5 by the end of 2013 but we’ll see what happens.  I do have one to tick off my list and it’s something you can only do in LA!

Fabletics Review

I’ve said it many times before that I am the furthest thing from a fashionista on the planet but it seems that I have a developing fascination with activewear.  I was not going to try Fabletics, the subscription based women’s athletic clothing line designed by Kate Hudson, but Facebook kept offering me a 50% deal off my first outfit, so I caved.  Just so you know, this post is not sponsored, these are my opinions only.

If you haven’t heard about Fabletics, it’s the brainchild of the JustFab group to bring affordable, stylish workout gear via monthly subscription. […]

How To Run With The Big Boys

Tomorrow, I’m running the 5 Mile Prospect Park Turkey Trot.  I’ve done this race every year for 4 years and it’s always hard.  I haven’t done much running lately so I’m a little scared.  Pretty soon  5 miles won’t be so scary because I’ll be training to be part of an amazing 12 person relay team for the SoCal Ragnar in April 2014.  Today, I’m lucky enough to have found one of my soulmate bloggers (who will also be one of my Ragnar teammates), Carrie@FamilyFitnessFood give her story about how she went from recreational runner to Ragnar.

How To Run With The Big Kids

FamilyFitnessFood.com, CarrieHi everyone! I’m Carrie from Family Fitness Food.  I’m so happy that Melissa is letting me drop in on her little bloggy space today to share some thoughts with you.  I met Melissa back in June at Fitbloggin in the most random of circumstances – on the very last morning, we set out for a 5K run and we just happened to fall in step with each other.  I can’t believe we didn’t meet earlier in the weekend – it was like saving the best for last.

Something happens when you run with a person and discover so many shared interests – from running, to nutrition to parenting to living close to each other to even sharing similar religious beliefs.  You make a true friend in a very short amount of time. […]

Make A Plan And Guess What Happens

Today’s post doesn’t quite align with my Workout Wednesday plans.  I’ve been trying to work my To-Do List before I leave to NYC this Friday but I was forced to take a rest day because I got sick.  I tried to fight it but the sneezes kept coming, my eyes […]

Awkward Confession: I Cry After I Run

I never thought that crying was a side effect of running.  It likely isn’t for most people but for me, the weird thing that I’d need to include on my number “things-you-don’t-know-about-me” lists that are crawling all over Facebook right not would have to be –  I cry after running.  The […]
