  Recently Ive had reminders how short life is. If we dont slow down & listen to voices asking us to PLAY & not write about PLAYouts when we’re “ready” it may be too late. This post isnt about the prolific health benefits of jumping rope (sorry not sorry). It’s an invitation to join me in JUMPING not READING about said jumpage. Lets PLAYout! Portable. Least ...

Taking my EGO out of the race.

by

When last we left me I'd finished Running for a Better Oakland. The 5k race where the child had been entirely convinced she stood a chance of winning. Propelled by her enthusiasm I agreed to speak at a ZOOMA NAPA event and, the next morning, run their half-marathon. To this misfit-mama it felt like the PERFECT way to encourage my child's nascent love of running (Im jealous! Im ... Continue Reading

I’m running a half-marathon (AKA practicing what I long to preach).

For the past few Saturday mornings the child and I have headed to Lake Merritt and met up with a group called Running for a Better Oakland  (RBO for short which lends itself fantastically to the oft shouted by 8 year old types & their annoying 44 year old compatriot LETS GO RBO!!!). It's been fun. Surprisingly fun. *Still* fun when we ran in pouring rain and did mountain climbers ... Continue Reading

Yes, People. It's here. It's waiting for you. It's in the pile of e-books promising a new! fitter! happier! you! (ok not so much...unless you aspire to be a misfit) Far more pressing, however, a post imploring you to purchase, is my wanting to share *why* I ever joined the e-masses. It took me a while to decide. I love e-books. Im a voracious reader. Im a prolific ... Continue Reading

Hello fellow Mizfit fans! My name is Lindsay and I’m a Registered Dietitian who blogs over at The Lean Green Bean. I’m so excited to be making an appearance over here today to chat about one of my favorite activities- jumping rope! (MizFit note: I begged her to come. I love me some Lean Green Bean.) I used to think jump ropes were nothing more than a childhood throwback….a tool used by ... Continue Reading

Run faster! Run futher! (guest post)

Hello! I'm Liana from Run To Munch! I can talk endlessly about myself but I know you would prefer something more entertaining. So lets talk about running. There's two ways to improve, you either run further or faster and if you're really lucky, you get both! I ran my first half marathon in 2011 (Boston's Run To Remember) at 1:48:45 by 2012 I cut my time to 1:38:46 on the same course. ... Continue Reading

We’re STREAKING!!!

Unless it's your first time reading my blog, seeing me tweet , skimming my repetitive ever exciting instagram feed, hanging with me on the book of the face or TALKING TO ME EVER---you know Im not a runner. I love the promise of the run (it looks BADASS to just snag shoes, canine and GO!) yet Ive never found a mental happy running place. Which is also reason number ONE many of you were ...

Get Fit TOGETHER!

This below is the first in a series of featured posts by Les Mills brand.  As always, opinions are my own.   In 15 days I turn 44.  It took me thirty of those years to learn no woman is an island.
