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.

I am an all or nothing sort of person.

April 24th, 2013 Are you a runner? Do you race? Do you already run with your dog at home?
