The most difficult part about taking and keeping the weight off is listening to my body. Sometimes I don't feel motivated to exercise or eat well, but I try to listen to what my body is trying to tell me. If I'm not motivated, I try to figure out why. Am I stressed? Did I … Continue reading Via Formspring: What was the most difficult part about taking and keeping the weight off?

Featured in Fitbie!
Check out the original article here Over the weekend, Fitbie.com published a neat article on my recent journey. It's been great but it's certainly not over! I still have a long way to go in terms of training for the triathlon (mainly getting myself INTO the water, which I have failed at the last two … Continue reading Featured in Fitbie!
The Journey of Me
I spent some time lamenting these photos and I think I'm finally over it. So last week I was interviewed for Fitbie, an MSN/Rodale joint venture. It's a great website to help people get tips on exercising and to keep them motivated. I noticed that they popped up after the new year and have been … Continue reading The Journey of Me
Q+A: “Why Do You Keep Running?”
I received a blog request from Elijah this week on my running habit -- "You should do a post on why you kept running after you started, even on those days that you didn't want to." Lately, it's been harder and harder for me to keep the momentum going. I've been running between 4-6 … Continue reading Q+A: “Why Do You Keep Running?”
Q+A: “Why Running?”
I've been getting some of the same questions over and over again, so I've decided to just blog about some of these typical questions I get.

Well, I chose running … Continue reading Q+A: “Why Running?”
Long Weekends, Long Runs
Hope you all had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! I spent my time off balancing pure relaxation and pushing my limits. All in all it was pretty fun! I've found that double digit runs have been very intimidating for me personally, even though I've done a few of them already. There's reticence on my … Continue reading Long Weekends, Long Runs
Recent Read: Born To Run
I started this book today waiting for the Metro to take me home from my just-completed 13 mile point-to-point run from my apartment to the ocean. It came highly recommended by a client who also happens to be a triathlete. I'm about halfway through it so far and I'm impressed -- it's linear insomuch that … Continue reading Recent Read: Born To Run
Finding Inspiration When You Need It Most
When I find that I am low on patience and inspiration, I usually head towards the water. It's humbling to be surrounded by something so majestic and grand as the Pacific Ocean. After all, the oceans covers 71 percent of the Earth's surface and contains 97 percent of the planet's water. And, at any moment … Continue reading Finding Inspiration When You Need It Most
Home For The Holidays
I don't come home very often, but when I do it's always nice to dodge questions about my love life and my parking situation. My parents went all out with Christmas this year, which is great but strange since we didn't really celebrate it too much when I was growing up. I think it was … Continue reading Home For The Holidays
