Your Guide to Ultimate Obstacle Race Training
Doing any kind of race is fun. (I know—I just did a SUPER fab one and Kristen just rocked hers!) But these days, racing is about more than just road running and tris. There’s trail running and crazy obstacles and color and glow sticks and zombies—and mud. Oh my gosh, there’s so much mud. It [...]

Being a teen can be tough. Heck, being an adult woman can be hard sometimes, especially when it comes to all the crazy pants (and crazy wrong!) messages we get about how we need to look like this and weigh that to be beautiful or even worthy. So when we had the opportunity to work [...]

I believe 2013, for me, is going to be The Year of Yoga. (I’ve also declared it The Year of: Beach Cruisers, Soup and Cheese, so take from that what you will.) But, in all seriousness, I’ve been ramping up my yoga game in the last couple of months, and I fully intend to keep [...]
