Last Sunday was the 33rd annual Vattenfall Berlin Half-Marathon. The very first half-marathon race I've ever run...and definitely not my last. We have been training the past 4 months for this race, after completing our first 5k and 10k races at the end of 2012. And of...
Two Christmas' ago, I walked into TJ Maxx in Florida and picked up a pair of running shoes and some workout clothes. At the time, I was just planning to go for a run or two while we were on vacation since Mackenzie's sleeping schedule was all kinds of crazy from the...

Have you been giving some thought to taking up running? Getting healthy in the new year is one of the most often made New Year's Day resolutions -- but few people ever follow through with it. But if you've been hounding yourself to get fit, it's never too late in the...
This past Sunday was the marathon in Berlin, and since Stefan had a few friends running in it, we went out to cheer them on. One in particular, Timo, is a really nice guy and an amazing runner who definitely falls into the professional category. But to be honest, his...
