Our little family is a family of people who run their own shops. That might sound like a family of business titans but I can assure you that it is not! When we think of people who runs small businesses we tend to think of the wealthy examples of people who run more lucrative businesses... Continue Reading →
It’s that time of year again. Athletes all over the world (or at least in the northern hemisphere) are dusting off training schedules and starting the long grind to prepare for races that might still be months away. Whether it is your first time training or your seventeenth it can seem like a long and... Continue Reading →
You don’t have to make a living or even win races to be considered an athlete. You really don’t even have to enter events to be an athlete! As athletes we must avoid doing things that actually work against our interest. We can look to the pros to learn how they get to the top... Continue Reading →

He was in fact super fit but also busy and had a medical issue that might have held him... Continue Reading →
Women’s only running races are getting more popular. In practice they are meant to make many women more comfortable but the whole idea might make you a little bit less comfortable. One could make the argument that women’s only races are not inclusive because they exclude men and potentially non-binary and trans people from the... Continue Reading →
I’ve often written posts about spring/summer/winter and fall running things I love for the year. For the last few years I have been more than set for fitness gear so I haven’t discovered many amazing new products. I’ve been doing a lot of organizing and moving projects around the house lately and it got me... Continue Reading →
Recently, I’ve been seeing the term healthspan pop up here and there and I really like the concept. Some of these ideas are already very much out there it’s just that we now have a name for it. While your lifespan is the time you’re alive your healthspan is the time that you are healthy.... Continue Reading →
