Music(less) Monday – Thoughts from the More Fitness Shape Half
Every Monday I have posted about my love of music while running, and in yoga, songs I recommend, and working on playlists, etc. etc. The past Sunday was the More Fitness Shape Women's Half Marathon, and as I was getting ready for bed Saturday night I realized I hadn't finished my list. So I grabbed... Continue Reading →
April 15
As a Boston Girl, today is a day that weighs heavy on my heart, so I would be remiss if I didn't post something. On this anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings, I send out my love and thoughts to all affected by the events on April 15, 2013. While I did not have any... Continue Reading →
Follow-up to Monday’s Post
Good Morning! Just a brief note in follow-up to my most recent Music Monday post. Today on Facebook, More Magazine/Fitness Magazine Women's Half Marathon page posted a share from Fitness Magazine with Spotify playlists, including the "100 Top Workout Songs from Around the World." So I immediately went to my Spotify and followed that playlist... Continue Reading →
Gone are the Days of the Walkman
Listening to music or not, my songs for the perfect playlist just for fun, and by event. I've covered this so far on Music Monday, but what about how to find, gather and play the music? I am an iPhone user, so I used to use iTunes, It wasn't always best for finding new music,... Continue Reading →

Music Monday – Run the World (Girls)
With less than 4 weeks until the More/Fitness/Shape Half, I started working on my playlist yesterday. It's a run in NYC so there will probably be some NY-themed music, but it's an all women's run, so I think I should have some girl band and girl power music. First up, "The Warrior" by Scandal. I've... Continue Reading →
A Furry Morning Surprise
(This post was from last Thursday, March 12) So this was an urban first this morning. I was out on my run, and it was still dark out (maybe it was around 6:30am) and pretty windy. I was on a walkway between two buildings and I see what I think is a plastic bag rolling... Continue Reading →
Music Monday – You Always Remember Your First Time
As a runner who runs to music, so many of my "running moments" are marked by the music playing while the moment is happening. When I hear the song again - whether running or not, I am often taken back to that moment. The first time I ever ran a mile (it was on a... Continue Reading →
