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 […]

I Never Considered Myself To Be A Runner…

May 24, 2009 By Stephanie

“I always tell beginning runners: Train your brain first. It’s much more important than your heart or legs.” – Amby Burfoot The hardest part about exercising is not the beating of my heart, the sore muscles, the pounding of the pavement as it reverberates my bones. On the contrary, the hardest part is getting up, […]

This is the OTHER reason I’m in shape…

April 11, 2008 By Stephanie

It’s true that I run 3-4 times a week (and I’ve competed in completed 2 5K‘s), but I also have a little athlete around that keeps me in tip-top condition. You should see her go. She’s a marathoner-in-training. Actually, forget the “in training” part. She puts in her 26+ miles without a flinch.
