Hi Everyone! Hope you’re all managing to stay cool and drinking lots of water (dehydration can sneak up on you when you’re going from heat to air conditioning). Also, let’s just stay aware of this smog that is hanging over the city – it is particulates from forest fires, so if you’re feeling any […]
Hi Gang! Many of us are getting into the groove of summer training. We have fall goals on the horizon and are excited to work towards them. This is what we love! Big goals with plans filled with hard work and fun in order to get us there. As we start out and […]
Hi Everyone! I can’t tell you how great it’s been to see faces to work out live with again – for running and boot camps in the park! I’m loving it. What I’ve been thinking about this week is about making hard things easier. Sometimes, once we’ve gotten our heads around doing something […]

Hi Everyone! As we do every year, we’re going through that uncomfortable feeling of adapting to the heat again. Feel free to reference one of my past posts on heat training but just remember these facts: it feels hard for a reason (it is harder until you adapt) and you will adapt and become […]
Hi Everyone! Can’t say this often, but I feel like we’re looking at some perfect running weather ahead. Enjoy! I feel like a big part of my role as a coach is to keep people doing what they love so that it brings them happiness and self-fulfillment. Two things about that: 1 – that […]
Hi All! I’m feeling exciting times coming up. Things are opening, people are getting vaccinated, REAL LIVE events are popping up on our calendars. What I’ve been thinking about all of this is that some of us feel like water that has been held back by a dam and it’s about to burst. We […]
Hey Everyone! Don’t you just love those runs where you feel smooth, in control, strong and relaxed but fast? When your body is in-synch with what you’re trying to do, and responds when you expect and ask it to? I will tell you something. Those runs aren’t free. They don’t come without some […]
