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

PLAYout at the playground: pull-ups.

by

The other morning a mom at the Tornado's school remarked how fit I look.   She then continued on to say: You must workout all the time. (Aside: You'd be proud.  I spared her my whole CONSISTENCY rant *and* yammers about how LIFE IS MY SPORT.  Ive noticed people's eyes tend to glaze over so Im reigning it in these days.  Go me!) In the moment where I paused & considered  how to respond ... Continue Reading

Im STREET STRIDING into spring!

by

  If you listened closely on Saturday night you mightcould have heard a loud SCREAM of YEEEEEE HAW!!! From the moment we moved to Oakland I commenced a count down to March 10th when we'd spring forward and the days would get longer. I didnt rock the darker nights in the ATX, but when it was dark nights & still flip-flop warm outside I rocked them harder.  Better.  ... Continue Reading

OAKtown six weeks later…

by

It blows my mind out, as the Tornado no longer says, Ive been in OAKLAND for six weeks. It feels as though it's the perfect time to look backward (fleetingly! ephemerally!!) take stock and see how well I did (or didnt do) with those lies I told myself back in Austin. I give you my OAKtown musings.  (Too long.  Too rambling.  You'll have that.) I freakin love the diversity.  VISUALLY.  ... Continue Reading

Our bookstore workout.

by

No school for the child. Just did a BIG  move. This misfits *refusing* To lose her fit-GROOVE. No time for the GYM to get to and TRAIN. Im hitting up N.E.A.T. Again and again. Unpacking boxes. UNWRAPPING our stuff. Fitness is there. but it's awkward & rough. PLAYouts abound! Workouts at the desk. "TO THE BOOK STORE?" Was Tornado's ... Continue Reading

WORLD HOOP DAY.

by

It most likely comes as no surprise I love me some hula hoop. It's PLAY. It's childish. It's exercise without the *work* part of working out. You cant hoop incorrectly/wrong if youre laughing and enjoying. I dont talk much about my hoop-LOVE here because Im definitely no role-model/expert o'the hoop. Even after a few years, Im still an awkward hooper (translation: Ive ... Continue Reading

Roller Derby FITNESS…

by

  Because nothing says GOOD LAWD I NEED TO BLOW ME OFF SOME MOVING-STRESS STEAM like skating around yer own garage.     And no. Im *so* not going to get all "Top five health benefits of roller skating" on you today either. This experience was not about uber-serious health benefits (although if you seek that theres an article here which plainly states skating ... Continue Reading

Kickball: MizFit style.

by

  New school years upon us. One FULL MONTH IS DONE! Our mornings? STILL CRAZY. Still JAM-PACKED with fun. We rise at the crack. We’ve much PLAYout time! We SKIP IT! Do the SPRINKLER! Take TRAMPOLINE time!     We play bus stop BADMINTON. Shoot a marshmallow gun. These PLAYouts are fine– but we needed *more* fun. Hopscotch didnt do ... Continue Reading

Three reasons I liked The OOGIELOVES.

by

First, HAPPY LABOR DAY to my America readers. I had no plan to post (and in a sense Im not as this post doesnt quite fit my typical blog musings.) as I have a JAM PACKED day ahead: FREE YOGA, hanging out friends & family-time. After our experience OOGIELOVE'ing yesterday, however, I felt compelled to share. You know, just in case you find yourself TODAY in the situation I was ... Continue Reading

Living not blogging: back to the second wave edition.

by

Until then Im off to stretch, fuel-up and prepare for our SECOND WAVE. Please to suffer my navel gazing enjoy this reflection post. I loved kinder. Im sad it's over. And yet--Im thoroughly adoring getting to know my girl as she grows ... Continue Reading
