This weekend (Saturday) I “celebrated” my 34th birthday. I use the word celebrate really loosely here, because in reality… it was probably the most boring birthday ever. In past years for my birthday I would get up super early to give myself the gift of running. But not this year… …
Yesterday I put up a post and then after some feedback I received, I proceeded to pull it down… as well as every single post on my pregnancy. I strongly considered closing up this entire site and I questioned my entire validity as a person. I seriously thought that I …
Well, I’m finally ready to come up with my New Year’s Resolution. I’m grumpy so far this year… it’s been hard to come up with something. But I feel that these two things are going to be really good for me. 1. Don’t eat breakfast and lunch at my desk …

Anyway, the purpose of the designation is to illustrate the importance of mental health issues to the overall health and well-being of American citizens. The phrase “mental health” has a lot …
Saucony is branching out with a huge new campaign under the tagline “Find Your Strong”. Just the phrase alone invokes positive images for me.

It’s a new quarter in 2011, how are you doing with your New Year Resolutions? In order to keep your progress on track it is valuable to take a look at your goals; revisit, re-evaluate and revise (if needed)!
