I’ve seen this post swirling around the blogosphere lately and it made me start thinking about this odd time in our lives. There’s many things I miss but there’s lots of things that I’m ok with them being out of our lives…maybe even for good. 5 THINGS I MISS DESTINATION RUNS Spring is always the […]

With everything flipped upside down right now, I’m finding myself watching more TV and reading more books. I’m trying to stay away from the news. I’ll check in once a day on my phone but if I do anymore, I go down a rabbit hole of nerves and anxiety. So I’m trying to find other […]

With no gyms open, we are all scrambling about what to do for at-home workouts. Bodyweight exercises are good but sometimes you want a little more weight to throw around. You could invest in an at-home gym but chances are the items are sold out or you don’t want to (or can’t) spend any money […]

Up until a few weeks ago, I was someone who had zero problems falling and staying asleep. My head would hit the pillow and I’d be O-U-T until my alarm went off in the morning. But then the Coronavirus Pandemic rocked my world. Everything shut down, the stock market tanked, toilet paper became a hot […]

While I was driving in the car yesterday, the DJ on the radio talked about a recent poll that said 40% of Americans believe they are “too old” to work out. First of all – WHAT?!?!?!? Want to know what the “too old” age is? 41 Yes, that’s right, 41. And that’s not 41 in […]

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Barlean’s. I’ve always associated peppermint with Christmas. It makes me think of when it’s a cold December day and you take a deep breath outside. It takes your breath away but it feels refreshing at the same time. I probably think of peppermint and Christmas because of […]

Happy Friday everyone! With all of the Halloween and end of the soccer season events this week, I completely dropped the ball on posting on Wednesday. A couple of years ago, I would have NEVER let that happen. I was pretty strict about following my blog schedule. But now, I don’t stress about it. If […]

There’s been a lot of talk about running alone, specifically, on running alone while female. It’s been in my brain for quite some time so I felt the need to write about it to let it out. If you’ve been reading HFM for quite some time, you may know that I had a really scary […]

Last week’s workouts weren’t entirely what I planned but it showed me things are moving in the right direction in terms of my plantar fasciitis. Over the long Labor Day weekend, we went camping and I had full intention of getting in at least one or two trail runs. But those runs never happened. Every […]

I think my runner card would be cut up if I didn’t first acknowledge the heat and humidity of last week’s workouts.  It was gross, swampy and excessive. But I’m not complaining. I may be struggling for air while a 9:30 pace feels like a sub 8, but I know that this is temporary. Running […]

One of the reasons we moved to New Hampshire over 12 years ago was because of the accessibility of the outdoors. There’s so many things to do outside no matter what the season. Hiking is one of our favorite things. Before kids, Ron and I would load up the car with dog and backpacks and […]

Lately…I’m so thankful to be living in New Hampshire. I can get my fix of the mountains and the beach all in one day. I asked on my Insta Stories last week which is better – beach or mountain runs. Silly question, right? The answer is obviously both. They both do wonders for the heart […]
