I hope you follow me to my new location. http://www.philandlindsey.com/lindseyruns/ I kinda… [Read more…]

Motivation hasn’t exactly returned yet but I’ve been hitting most of my workout goals. And you may not believe it, but I actually added an extra run the past two weeks. The weather has been so nice it’s hard to imagine working out indoors so I substituted my Monday spinning class for a run outside.… [Read more…]

I think in any athlete or person who loves to workout, there’s a healthy dose of “Not Good Enough” that streams in and out of their conscious thoughts. Examples… That was a good run but I can run a little bit further. And, it’d be nice if I worked on my pace. <<Not Good Enough>>… [Read more…]

I have a review and a recommendation. Buy this handy dandle pill thingy from CVS! It completely improved for the better how I take pills. And nope, I really don’t have many prescriptions. Instead, I had been struggling on 1) remembering to take my vitamins/supplements and 2) knowing when to take them. Some vitamins and… [Read more…]
