How to Give to a Good Cause (without spending any money)

February 15, 2013 By Stephanie

Today, my 6-year-old and I ran 2 miles. Simultaneously, we helped send a girl in the developing world to school for two weeks. We didn’t fundraise or send in a check. We took our legs, our lungs, and our hearts – and hit the pavement. This is how it works. Download the Charity Miles app on your phone. […]

10 Tips for Training for Your First 10K

January 14, 2013 By Stephanie

I ran my first 10K yesterday – my longest run ever! After kissing three little blonde heads, I walked out the front door into 44 degrees and glorious rays of sunlight. One foot in front of the other, I prayed and breathed with each step. If you’ve circled a 10K date on the calendar and […]

GIVEAWAY: Moving Comfort Endurance Capri

August 30, 2012 By Stephanie

Tomorrow, my half-marathon plan says that I need to run five miles. It will be my longest run – ever. I’ll be wearing a Nike v-neck shirt, New Balance tennis shoes, and Moving Comfort Endurance Capris. These capris are super stretchable, ultra-comfortable, and fantastically flattering. They lift the butt and hold in your stomach. Plus, […]

running – back at it

December 12, 2010 By Stephanie

Tim and I sat down a few weeks ago to put together a fitness schedule. We’ve been running on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. We also try to add in a “bonus run” on the weekend – either that or a hike/long walk. Tim pushes the girls in the double jogger. I run alongside. We’ve […]

On Fitness and Feeling Good

May 3, 2010 By Stephanie

I look over at my running shoes, knowing I should put them on. How is it so incredibly hard to get started? I don’t know, but it is. I finally convince myself – remembering all of my reasons. I put on my sports bra. I pull back my hair. I gather shoes and sweaters and […]

3.1 Miles of Smiles (+ Sweat)

March 27, 2010 By Stephanie

This 5K may have spoiled me for good. It was hosted by Sierra Morado, a master-planned community by Pulte Homes. The goal, of course, was to get people interested in their homes in this not-so-hot economy. But they seriously did an awesome job putting it together. The path was well-marked. The weather was gorgeous (I […]

Get Fit…with Fabulous Athletic Bra

January 19, 2010 By Stephanie

For the longest time, I just thought I wasn’t cut out for running. Dancing? Yes. Swimming? Yes. Walking? Yes. But running…? Not for me. Now, however, I go running several times a week and I enjoy participating in local 5Ks in my town. Much of that change was mental…deciding that I, Stephanie Sheaffer, could in […]
