Sounds of Saturday – Corey Hart

In celebration of being invited to the Oakley Progression Session in San Diego, today’s Sounds of Saturday gives a little tip of the hat to sunglasses with Corey Hart’s “Sunglasses At Night”.

This Canadian was one amazing looking guy (and still is – see his website here) […]

Sounds of Saturday – Depeche Mode

The 80’s are back and hard! Depeche Mode is releasing a new album and going on a world tour (link here).

I like old school Depeche Mode and saw them on the Black Celebration tour at Radio City on June 8th, 1986 (8th row center […]

Back in January, Oakley, the maker of premium sunglasses, goggles, prescription eyewear, apparel, footwear and accessories and Shape Magazine teamed together for a contest to find the next Oakley Brand Ambassadors in three major markets, San Diego, Boulder and Dallas.

As part of the search and contest to find the right women to join the Oakley Perform Beautifully Collective200 lucky women were being offered the chance to be invited to attend an exclusive day-long VIP Oakley Progression Session which would include a Boot Camp session, a Yoga Session, a Nutrition Seminar, a Live Ambassador Search with Oakley and access to the mobile O-store to check out the latest offerings from Oakley plus product giveaways!

I got the chance to know the Oakley product while at my first social media event, the Fitness Magazine Meet & Tweet last year.  I received a pair of Oakley sunglasses as a gift at the event and I’ve done all of my running with them ever since.  When I saw the details of the contest, I entered but never believed I’d get one of those 200 invitations.

I’m happy to say that I was wrong!  I’m in shock that I’m one of the 200 lucky winners who have been invited to the Women’s Fitness Training Progression Session in San Diego next week!  It seems unreal that I’m a contender to be one of the next Oakley Brand Ambassadors! […]

Be The Inspiration

Fitness, Brooklyn Bridge

I took the above photo on the Brooklyn Bridge while on a run in January of 2012.  I must have run by this sign many times before I ever noticed it.  I thought this photo would be part of a post I’d write about my half marathon training but that isn’t meant to be for me right now.

However, I’m not without inspiration in my life. Today I was reminded in two different ways. […]

Food Presents – Foodie Pen Pal Reveal +

It is the last day of February and it’s finally Foodie Penpal Reveal Day!

Foodie Penpals was developed in September 2011 by Lindsay who blogs at The Lean Green Bean.  Lindsay, a dietetic intern (more Dietitian power!), who clearly understands the universal power of food orchestrates match-ups between US, Canadian and UK residents to exchange “fun, foodie things, local food items or homemade treats” with a $15 limit total.

My foodie penpal, Jenni, from Manhattan, KS received a box full of my favorite Trader Joe’s goodies since I knew there were no TJ stores close-by.

I received the most lovely package from Becca V of IL.
