This past Sunday morning, I ran in the Dirty Spokes 10K trail run at a local state park. 10K… 6.2 miles… not something that was new to me. 6.2 miles on the trails — very new. A friend from high school told me about it on Facebook. I thought, “Suuure. I can do this. I’m a runner. I’m an [...]

Teaching and coaching in middle school gives me the opportunity to help kids by asking them questions and letting them figure “it” out.  Usually [...]

The older I get, the more I try to find ways to exercise that are low/no impact. I have a mountain bike, elliptical machine, total gym, and a Trikke.  Saturday, Nif ran in the 5K Race for the Cure.  AFTER she posted that we would have a Team Strong Mothers next year on our blog [...]
