Tutus are kind of my thing – so much so that when I moved from Minnesota last year my gym buddies threw me a going away workout party where everyone wore tutus. (They even wrote “We’ll miss you tutu much!” on the mirrors in marker!) I have them in every color and I’ve worn them during …

Ranked right up there with the perfect squat and the best blender for smoothies, the “runner’s high” is one of the most elusive yet sought-after myths in modern fitness lore. But is it a real biochemical response or just marathoners trying to justify spending their whole Saturday running? The anecdotal evidence is mixed: for people …
This is totally true. Scares the everloving crap out of me. Topless treadmill running has never been on my fitness bucket list but then neither was being a pro NFL cheeleader for a day or doing crunches on an underwater produce scale in an ice-cold pool for half an hour and I ended up doing …
Stylin’ at the start line! Ever had a super annoying running partner*? There’s The Perma-Injured – the person who always has something wrong with him/her, whether it be fallen arches or a sore knee or a blocked aura or whatever. New day, new injury. Then there’s The Whiner – the one who complains about the weather, his …
Forget night swimming REM, night running has always been my favorite nocturnal sport. There’s just something about running through an unlit night, the inky blackness completely obliterating my body until I feel incorporeal. Dispossessed. Airborne.

If you recall, this did not end well for me either. Lies I have told myself: – The sunglasses I bought for $10 in Mexico really are Oakleys. – If it’s on clearance then I have to buy it because it’s practically giving me money back. – No one will notice if my son isn’t …
Signing the paperwork to buy a house is entertaining for so many reasons. First, because it’s like 2,000 pages long of legalese eventually you just stop bothering to read anything. Let me tell you, when it comes to living on the edge, skydiving has nothing on the rush you get from signing your life away …
How many people does it take to fake a marathon? About 1,000 apparently – as proved by a Kickstarter project that I can’t decide if it is genius social commentary or best racket yet. For those of you uninitiated into the bizarro world of Kickstarter, it’s a website where you can propose a plan to …
From DonkeyTs.com Sitting at the gym, minding everybody’s business but my own, I got into a conversation about a recent road race. I didn’t run it but several of the Gym Buddies did and as everyone knows, one of the best parts of running a race is getting to swagger around in your race …

I don’t even know what’s happening here but I love it. Dec. 31, 2012, 12:59 p.m. Me: 10-9-8-7DickClarkMayHeRestInHeaven-6-5-4-3-2… Yay! Happy New Year! Husband: Arriba! Prospero ano y felicidad! Kiss kiss hug hug “Get a room!” “We have several and are paying way more than they’re worth every day!” “Wow. Buzzkill.” “Here’s to 2013, the year …
