I have loved being a row house coach and a virtual running coach so much for the last few months that I have not focused on the my training at all. I have definitely gotten stronger and have increased my endurance, but with a busy running schedule coming up, its time to get serious.

I joined Orange Theory just for that purpose. It is exactly what I needed. The workouts are challenging and I really have to dig deep to crush them.

They also have a 8 week transformation challenge. It starts with an embody assessment. Its a very detailed evaluation of your body composition,. The idea is that after an 8 week commitment to an OTF workout three times a week and focus on nutrition there will be positive changes.

So, I am dialing in my nutrition and joining team ORANGE.

Splat points are piling up!

Row House coach

There has been an update in my fitness journey . I am a Row House coach in Westport CT. My day job in advertising is super supportive of a work life balance and that allows me the confidence to coach classes three days a week at 5 30 am. My new mantra is ” its ok if you are busy as long as you are happy”. I am both! BUSY and HAPPY

I wanted to re start the blog as I enter my 10th year of my wellness transformation. Time truly does fly when you are having fun!

MileHigh Run club is awesome!

Hey Squad,

If you live in the NY area and love to run, you have to check out the MileHigh Run club.  The first class is free so you can see if its the kind of class that you like before committing any boutique class dollars.  My daughter Laura (the wind beneath all my running) went to the class via classpass and told me about it.  She had a great experience.

Truthfully, I had heard of the club before and wasnt all that interested in it. Boy was I wrong.  The class was amazing.  I took the Dash class which was about 30 minutes of running and then full body weight work. ( squats, lunges, planks and kettlebell work)

It has been my quiet goal to along with not getting injured, to gain some speed this year.  I know its tougher at my age, but everything I read said its possible.  I asked the coach afterward if my pace goal was attainable and she said YES!

So, I will be back.  I am going to go at least once a week during my spring marathon training that starts on Monday ( EEK!)

Check it out and let them know I sent you.

Cheerfully yours,
