Lisinopril and Running
Okay, I am fine with getting older, but the BEING old part, not so much. I went to the doctor yesterday and after years of healthy blood pressure readings, it finally happened. I have turned into my mother. Both of my parents died from conditions related to high blood pressure and I have taken my cues to not follow their…

Transitioning from Summer to Fall
Some of us in this group are "seasonal workers", aka teachers :wink: . I don't know about y'all, but I thoroughly enjoyed my 8 weeks of summer bliss and crammed it full of running, riding and hiking, taking to the road or trails at a whim.

Last Saturday morning, the weather was perfect and everything just felt right so my long run ended up being a little over my half-marathon distance, 13.2 miles. I did it in 2 hours 19 minutes. I rested the next day…

How do folks find time to eat?!?!?
I am a public school teacher, so snacking throughout the day is simply not an option. I get something in the morning before I leave the house, but I am on the road by 6 AM. My planning period is not until 5th, around 12:30, so I am ready to chew on the furniture by then, but usually must take care of work stuff at this…

Hello, Everybody!
Good Morning! My name is Grace and I am in a rebound relationship with fitness LOL. After a brief love affair with self doubt with a side of junk food, I am finally back into jogging and hopefully soon actual RUNNING! I work in one of the most stressful career fields known to modern society. I am a public high school math…
