I might regret saying this out loud, but when I really think about it, I feel safer when I’m on a climbing adventure with a man than I do when I’m climbing with a woman. It isn’t because I don’t trust women, and it isn’t because I don’t have confidence in women. I haven’t been a […]

The Women’s Wilderness Institute: Empowerment in the Outdoors by Tali Koziol The first time I went climbing was with a boyfriend. It sucked. He said he would teach me, and he did. He taught me how to belay. Really well. Turns out my fella only wanted a Belay Bunny. When he let me try a […]

#in30 Fitness Challenge: A Mile a Day and No More Excuses! By Amanda Renner When I first heard about the #in30 challenge I fell in love with it… or at least the idea of it.  Who doesn’t want a pre-made, at-home workout handed to them at the beginning of every month?  Apparently me.  While I […]

Real health and fitness growth is often a result of a series of small steps—little changes that, summed up, make a huge difference. Whether you’re incrementally adding a few seconds to each run, one or two reps to each set, or some extra pounds to your bicep curls, you’re taking small yet very real steps. […]

Running at Any Age: How Old Is Too Old? By Terri Barry My sister-in-Law, Karen Karbo, an awesome bestselling author recently coined this phrase: “Imagine a life where you are never too anything for anything.”  -Karen Karbo Coming home from my most recent climbing trip my climbing partner, in his mid-30’s, asked me if I […]

Fall weather is blessedly ideal for hiking. It offers cooler temps so you don’t overheat, yet we still get sunny enough days to strip right down to that T-shirt. With the trees turning anywhere from shades of gold to red, almost seeming too brilliant to be real, these are some of the prettiest seasonal views […]

The Best Fall Running Top I’ve always been a fan of running in insulated compression shirts (I’m pretty sure it’s a result of wearing them as a softball player in Washington and Maine). If I need more warmth, I just add another layer. That was until I tried Stonewear’s new Alpha Hoody. This fall, the […]

The Perfect Workout Jacket: “This gem of a piece should win a prize for versatility!  It feels just as at home on a chilly fall morning along the hiking trail as it does in a downtown coffeeshop later on in the afternoon!  In fact, when I first got it, I was afraid that it seemed […]

Our family joins the 800,000 out there furloughed due to the government shut down. Politics aside, this affects many people. We are thankful that our past financial decisions allow us to enjoy a little extra time home with Daddy. However, not only does the shut-down touch our lives from the career perspective, but our very […]

This past spring, I tested out Stonewear Designs’ new running tight, the Sprinter Capri. I’m the kind of girl who normally wears whatever running tight is on sale at Old Navy or Target, so getting to try out a high-end compression tight for my first half-marathon of the year was quite a treat.
