I'm an independent writer and this is my personal health and fitness blog. Here I detail my journey with running, yoga and well-being. I live in Cleveland, Ohio, with my husband, our dog Lulu and half a dozen houseplants.

October 29th, 2012 I had grand plans to write last week. But sometimes life happens. It did.
A new week, a fresh start.

15-minutes Elliptical
30-minutes Lower Body/Abs/Back

Clearly often go awry!
Saturday I had a 6-mile run on tap, which was my scheduled long run this week. The husband agreed to join me. We decided to get up at 6:45 a.m. which would be “sleeping in” by our new standards. First failure – me getting
