Boutique fitness studios have been popping up all over the place in the past few years: Barre, yoga, spinning, TRX, pilates, CrossFit… you name it, there’s a studio or gym for it. And while I do really like barre (I’m working on a post now about what to expect at your first barre class), it […]
Several years ago, after I had run a few 5Ks, I decided to increase my mileage a bit and train for a 10K. Not long after, a good friend of Toby’s told us he was going to run a half marathon to help raise money for cystic fibrosis research and the children’s hospital that Toby’s […]
****Update 1/14/2015: Congrats to Eric W., winner of this giveaway!**** What have you resolved to do in 2015? I am still working on my list of resolutions, but I know I want to push myself out of my comfort zone (aka my couch) and get healthy and fit this year. One of the best ways I’ve […]
In every running magazine and running blog I’ve ever read (not to mention the Facebook updates of my family and friends), the treadmill seems to be universally acknowledged as a necessary evil: Yes, people use it, but they curse it the entire time. But, um… I actually like the treadmill. This is not to say that running […]
Jen’s note: Fab Fave Friday is a recurring feature in which I highlight some of my favorite things — in all sorts of categories. Today’s category is workout pants.

My childhood hatred of hiking is well documented. But, as you’ve probably noticed, I’ve gotten past that — and since we were visiting an island that is 75 percent volcano, we thought we should probably visit said volcano. But there was no way in Hades that I was going to ride a bike down that […]
***UPDATE: This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to Laura for winning! Enjoy your race!*** Have you guys ever done a mud run? Toby and I are getting ready to do the Camp Pendleton mud run with my dad in two weeks, and I’m pretty excited about it. I actually did do the mud run at Camp […]
There are a few things that everyone in my family has in common. For example: We all care about what we wear, we all love Arizona, we’re all beach bums, and we all get overly obsessed and competitive when it comes to jigsaw puzzles. But whereas I forget to work out for weeks at a time, […]
***Hi guys, my name is Bri and you can usually find me over at SanBriego.com. I’m happy to share a couple of guest posts with you this month while the lovely Jen is off being a rockstar in Afghanistan!!*** I don’t remember why I signed up for my first half marathon. I think I was […]
If you’ve been near just about any body of water in the United States in the past year or two, you’ve probably seen people standing on boards, paddling around. I’m not sure when it became a thing, but I saw tons of people doing it in Hawaii last year and it’s hugely popular in the […]
