FITBLOGGGGGGGGGIN! (ticket giveaway)*

by

Please amble with me down memory lane. I know it's an indication of aging when every single occurrence has to have a story attached, but Im embracing that notion and dragging you down the proverbial lane with me. One upon a time there was a blogger trip. It was the very first blogger all! expenses! paid! trip and, to put it mildly, all of the invitee's minds were blown out (as the child ... Continue Reading

I never felt stoppable.

by

  When I launched MizFit it was "enough" to have a passion for healthy living. It was 2006. I was just back from Guatemala. Gnarls Barkley was popular. Skinny jeans were only starting to emerge on the Austin hipster scene. And The Biggest Loser television show was born. People heard what I had to say----but my message was diminished because I was a long-term loser. No big ... Continue Reading

MIZ on a pole.

by

  I know.  The title was kinda mean. It actually didnt occur to me what you mightcould surmise this post was about until it was written, edited and I *stopped* to reread the title and then grabbed a sharpie and some construction paper. Alas it's not about SEXXXY MizFit time.  (although Id like to explore that. OAKLAND? lets do a class!) It's about PLAYouts. It's about ... Continue Reading

My broken window.

by

The notion of broken windows has been on my mind lately. Each time I park my car and walk away---Im  convinced when I return it will either not be there or have a broken window. More than negative thinking or using law of attraction in the wrong manner---it's felt like a form of self-protection. This way, if I return and my vehicle hath been, um, (finger quote) altered (unFQ) it's neither ... Continue Reading

No electronics at the pool!

by

  For us American-types it's memorial day. For many of us it's nearing summertime. I had no plans to rereun this post until a friend shared a near-miss with her daughter yesterday. She said to me pretty much what I share below regarding how THANKFUL she was she never, ever, ever uses her smartphone near a pool.   First, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY to us American types. Id imagine, ...

NO APOLOGIES running! (guest post)

by

  Tennyson said that in spring, a young man’s fancy turns to love, and this may be true for men, but for most women I know, in spring, our thoughts turn to exercise. After the pale, sluggish winter retreats, our pale, sluggish thighs emerge, and something must be done about them before beach season arrives in force. Since nobody really wants to eat less, all that’s left to do is ... Continue Reading

Street Strider Summit 8r: final thoughts.

by

DiZclosure: The Street Strider was sent to me for review. The fact I ADORE it and have harnessed its magical powers to make friends in my new 'hood are both my own.   When last we met Id JUST learned to Street Stride on my Summit 8r. For me it was a *shockingly* swift process. About a ten minute "wait do I get this?!" a sudden OOOH I GET THIS!!! and Ive been happily striding and ... Continue Reading

She’s a tiny Buddha covered in pink.

by

The other morning the child and I were hanging out and taking it slow. I lament her early rising (she's up by 530a without fail) but the busier she gets the more Im enjoying the fact we *always* have time in the morning to BE. By way of full disclosure-- this was not one of my best mornings. I was a little tired.  A lot distracted (by her stuff. camp stuff.  but that made no difference to ... Continue Reading
