Electronic Stallion
Little droplets definitely expel from my mouth. But I’m all alone. No mask. No six feet distancing. It’s just me in my electronic stallion: the household ready stationary bicycle. I’m like a cyclist at the Tour de France. No I’m not. I’m a retired Marine with prescribed psych drugs that continue to challenge me, even in the early am.

Run Because You Want To
Coming up on my 6th anniversary as a runner, my partner asked me what I’ve learned in my years running. As I scroll back through the memories - my first race, my first half marathon, running along the Mediterranean, running along Lake Austin - I am hit with a tiny remnant of the feeling of each run. From the beginning, running had it’s rewards and it’s cost, it’s triumphs and defeats. I’d like to think I’ve improved, or at least stopped making so many mistakes. Running used to be something I had to do rather than something I got to do. Now, I am free when I run. I am capable when I run. I accomplish something every run. Here’s how I have learned to change my mentality.

My Journey
You know we never see ourselves how people see us. The picture on the left, I thought I was cute AF. Then a year later, a friend took another picture of me while we were celebrating my aunts birthday and then I was WTF????!!!!??? I was soooooo mad at myself for letting my body get like this. I was nearly 300 lbs. I sat there and cried. I yelled at my husband and asked him why he never said anything. I wanted to blame someone else, but at the end of the day this was all on me.

How I Started Running in My 30s and You Can Too!
I know I’m not alone here when I say running has never been my favorite form of exercise. The last time I tried running I was in my early 20s. I was doing Shaun T’s at-home workout videos — which I love and still continue to do — but I wanted to get outside more. I didn’t own a bike so running seemed the only logical option.

iFitness: How the World of Personal Training Has Changed for Social Distancing
The human body was meant to walk, run, jump, squat, sprint, and dodge, tracing its origins back to when nomadic peoples had to follow food sources to feed their families. Today, we still sport these same bodies that require exercise to function properly, which can at times, seem daunting in a social distancing world. We’re at home, on the couch, using our phones, laptops, and TVs to keep our kids busy, all the while our bodies beg us to get up and move around – if only for a little bit.
