Jump rope time (*no* pinnable workout inside!).

by

    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.

4 tips for finding resistance training motivation

by

it's crass but it's true. Whether it's my overzealousnessment (technical term) or just happenstance---people associate me with an unflagging love of resistance training.

Or anything and ... Continue Reading

It’s ok to be a night owl (guest post).

by

  What do you consider sleeping in? Are you one of those people who get up at 0'dark thirty to run or workout? Or are you a card carrying Night Owl? I'm a night owl. I've been one since I was a child. I remember still being awake in my bed most nights when my parents would check on me on their way to bed. I can't tell you how many nights of my life I've been up past ... Continue Reading

Four lessons resistance training taught me about life.

by

Resistance training, for me, is bigger than something I do to stay fit as I age. It's taught me more about life than any other experience and, paradoxically, helps me remain laser-focused on whats important to me outside fitness. I advocate resistance training for health---but am a resistance training evangelist because of what Ive learned from it about living fully. 1. If you wait for ... Continue Reading

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!

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 ...

Maintainence isnt sexy.

by

When last we left Coop he was happily drooling all over his new domicile. He slid effortlessly into our lives---but not so much into the lives of the neighborhood canines. Coop, we quickly learned, had some socializing to do. We examined our options, interviewed trainers, and decided sleep away camp was the way to go. Two weeks. All training all the time. No Tornado'y distractions. ... Continue Reading
