Vita - Train For Life

Welcome to VITA - Train for Life where I talk smack about all my fitness journeys, racing and raising twin boys. Visit my blog at www.vitatrain4life.com

As most of you know, VITA was sold in May of 2012. It was a very tough decision I made with a heavy heart but decided to be a SAHM (Stay at home mom) of my twin boys while they still love me!

I wrote this in 2015 but wanted to share today to always remember. As I re-read it this morning, I cried and smiled, remembering the girl who went though that long journey so many years ago and who now owns the giant SUV she once rented with strangers, to drive across the country in 2001.

I've told my 9/11 story many times, but never in this space. This is honor of everything gained and lost on that day.

I only blog these days when I feel like I have a message. I have one today and it's uncomfortable but if there's no discomfort, there's no growth. This is my story and I encourage you to share yours.

Today I'm telling one of the many stories I have of how my white privilege helped me in encounters with police and life in general. Please read and learn.

A pandemic seemed like a good time to catch up. Find out how my homeschooling, grocery shopping and meditation is going during quarantine...

The COVID-19 pandemic is the perfect time for me to check-in and take us through the 5 stages of crazy. Since I'm already there, you may as well join me.

The Rundown is back...for today! Featuring: Radical Acceptance - what is it and how can it help you deal with politics, the Super Bowl half time show, The Goop Lab and so much more. Take a deep breath and read all about it!

One of the coolest things I have learned in grad school so far is the practice of radical acceptance. Read how you can apply it to almost anything!

I know it's a Thursday and I know it's been almost two months but I finally wrote a new blog post! I'm reflecting on my own cancel culture and what 20 years of running and racing (yes, 20!) has taught me.

Contrary to popular belief, I'm still writing this blog! Find out what I've decided to cancel for 2020and what 20 years of running has taught me. Yes, 20.

The Rundown is changing... along with my hair color and is less focused on racing and more on grad school. Read my new podcast + book recommendations and the most motivating thing on my desk right now...

Times are changing over here with variations on running, observations of grad school life and anticipating snowboarding season!

I know it's not Monday and I know it's been a while but don't call it a comeback...I have a new post! I recap my half marathon race last weekend, have tons of new book recommendations and, of course, some surprises.

Don't Call it A Comeback...just because it's been a while since I posted anything. I hope this is worth the wait - race update, great books and laughs!

The Rundown is talking about age and if it really matters, how Lenny Kravitz defies it and what my kids think about it. Plus, new tv shows, terrible books and the random pic you have to see.

The Rundown is taking age into consideration in every aspect of current life activities from kids to concerts and, of course, running.

That time I experimented with medical ma*****na for my anxiety and mid-flight panic attacks and how I'm doing my part to take the stigma out of using it...hilarity ensues.

In an effort to reduce my anxiety in general and panic attacks while flying specifically, I started expreimenting with cannabis. Here's what happened.

The Rundown is not sad to see summer go (for so many reasons!) plus new book and television reviews and you won't believe what my husband did at the Jonas Brothers show!

Is summer over yet? The Rundown reviews all the reasons I'm not sad to see summer go plus new podcast and book recommendations!

The Rundown is back but it's not pretty. I've been on vacation for weeks and then had a funeral, resulting in a horrible decision. Read all about it and send pity.

Ok so it's been four weeks of vacations at the same place and one horribly timed funeral for yours truly. Before you judge me, read the whole post.

The Rundown is figuring out if blondes really do have more fun, why people are so disgusting at the gym and the recovery slides your feet have been waiting for!

The rundown is testing out the phrase "blondes have more fun," and seeing what happens. Also this week, heat, humidity and grossness at the gym!
