Wunda Wednesdays – How Pilates Can Change More Than Your Body

Welcome to Week 8 of Wunda Wednesdays! From May 1st through July 1st, I’ll be participating in a 60 Day Challenge with WundaBar Pilates. I’ll be taking 3-4 classes per week in exchange for documenting my progress weekly here on the blog.

I can’t believe that I’m nearing the end of my 60 Day Challenge. I’ve worked my body in ways I never thought I could (even on vacation via the WundaBar To Go Program) and I’ve been having fun attending classes at different WundaBar locations and with different WundaBar instructors. […]

Portlandia, Here I Come! (FitBloggin' 2013)

People love the show Portlandia and even though I still don’t “get” the show (please save your tomatoes for eating), I do know that Portland, Oregon has been called the Brooklyn of the West so it makes me unbelievably excited to announce that I’ve been invited to Portland from June 27 – 30th to attend my first Fitness Blogging Conference, FitBloggin’ 13!

I Ran, I Ran Not Far Away….

Friday, June 5th was National Running Day. I’ll admit that I’ve done a lot of whining around not being able to run. Last week I even wrote an apology letter to my very neglected running shoes. I even went down to the Race Expo for the half marathon I knew I couldn’t run to see a friend and for fun.

My Twitter stream has been filled with details from various races all over the country and even though I was never really in love with running, the fact that I can’t makes me very wistful so on Wednesday despite feeling like my body was fighting off sickness and my back aching a bit, I went for a run.

I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately but I knew that I really wanted to do something on National Running Day so I put on my cap from my original 26.2 in 1999 and the race shirt from what was to be my comeback race last week in San Diego (but wasn’t meant to be) and made some literal strides toward my running future.

All San Diego – hat from my 26.2 in 1999 and race shirt from my race that I did not even start in 2013.

It might not have been for very long (or done very fast) but I did it. I’ve been working on getting stronger with my WundaBar Pilates classes but I haven’t really run since I was in NYC and I did my Kick Ass 5K (which was amazing). […]
