If you’re at all interested in health and fitness, San Luis Obispo is the place to be this weekend! The San Luis Obispo Health and Fitness Expo starts tomorrow with a 5K, and runs through Sunday at the Alex Madonna Expo Center. Doors are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, and it features dozens [...]

The holidays have been in “full swing” for about a month now and so far I’ve managed to keep my workout calendar full of “Xs.” However, I will be jetting home to visit my family for a few days this weekend so my fitness routine will be a bit out of whack. I found a great [...]

I went to the gym this morning hoping to conduct my own little spin class again. I was pretty excited, until I got to the gym and realized I forgot my Ipod! If you read the blog often you know how much I rely on my tunes to pump me up and get me through [...]

In life, we are often faced with the decision of taking the road less traveled, or continuing along a familiar route. That ever-present fork in the road analogy if you will.  Opinions differ on what one should do when standing at that fork. For example, Robert Frost once said, “I took the road less traveled [...]

Today I decided to do nothing, that’s right, NOTHING before work. Normally I am either working out or running errands until my shift starts (when you work the 11pm newscast not too many places are open when the shift is over), but today I decided to put that habit aside and just relax.
Let [...]

Ouch. That is one of the first thoughts that went through my head when I got out of bed this morning. My calves are killing me, in a good way of course, but it’s all because I decided to change things up a bit yesterday. As I was looking over my workout calendar it was [...]

That’s the question I kept asking myself as I huffed and puffed through my 3.5 mile run this morning. The half-marathon was almost three weeks ago and I’ve only been running twice since then.  I haven’t posted or run in a while because I’ve been in South Bend, watching the Notre Dame football team [...]
