Why I’m (mostly) Vegan

| POSTED IN:> Fitness

I started eating a plant-based diet while on a trip to Bali and Java. I quickly realized it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it might be. Here’s why I continue to eat mostly vegan. Read More…

Compression socks are not only important for travelers but also runners. Here are two brands with well-made socks great for long plane flights, sports recovery and even toesocks for running. Read More…

Following Your Own Path Upstream

| POSTED IN:> Fitness

It’s easy to be dissuaded by others when you want to follow your own path, whether it has to do with travel or making lifestyle changes for the better. Ultimately, however, you need to follow your heart. Read More…

Running the Tokyo Marathon

| POSTED IN:> Fitness

Despite pre-race jitters in the weeks leading up to the Tokyo Marathon, I fared pretty well and my concerns about training in Japan were unfounded. Read More…

Marathon Running Music Playlist

| POSTED IN:> Fitness

I can’t run without my iPod. Well, I can and do. At least on some short runs. But for distance, I either listen to podcasts or a playlist of upbeat music. I recently got this adorable iPod Shuffle (thanks, Santa!) and have been loading it up with podcasts, but until I figure out how to Read More…

| POSTED IN:> Fitness

When I was in my early 40’s, I always thought of myself as still 40, not any older than that. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to be “in” my 40’s. I just didn’t FEEL (or look, hopefully) like I was “in” my 40’s. So for a few years, I enjoyed being just 40. This Read More…

If the Sky’s the Limit, I’m Doing the Honolulu Marathon

| POSTED IN:> Fitness

For years and years and years, I told myself I wasn’t a runner. If I tried jogging even a bit, I got winded easily and believed that my body type just wasn’t right for it. I could barely jog a few blocks. A marathon was the last thing on my mind. But at 45 I Read More…
