Despite the fact that I practically ice skated my way home (so many near falls slash unintentional triple sow cows) from work last night, it is technically spring. I don’t know about you, but I am ready to shed my puffy coat and get outside for a run. In addition to my spring race recommendations, here are a few other great spring fitness opportunities you may want to check out:…

Today: …is a new day.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I was right. That rat was a bad omen. I left my office right on time last night, excited to be meeting Sarah and Bridget for a workout, when my little car failed to start. The tow truck driver dispatched by AAA was…

Today: 21 hours.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Monday was a long day. I was awake (and mostly functioning) for 21 hours straight. When you’re up and about for that long, you’re bound to see some shi things. 4:00 AM Nick was planning to take an early class at CrossFit Southie, so when…

Today: The good, the bad, and the sparkly.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Let’s start with the bad. And end with the sparkly. After days spent looped out on cold medicine (due to illness, not recreational use… obvi), I am finally feeling back to (mostly) normal. The fact that my monster cold came to town during…

Today: Take Your Germs to Work Day.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] To quote the genius that is Lil Wayne, “M***** f*****, I’m illllllllll.” The remnants of this cold have been hanging out in my body for nearly two weeks. Just when I think, Hallelujah! I’m cured! my nose starts running and people start…

Today: Catch the competitive spirit.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] I never considered myself particularly competitive. Sure, I’ve cheated at the occasional game of Slap (the card game, not the physical act of violence) and Scrabble with the intention of racking up a few more points, but I’ve never terribly minded losing. …

Today: (Comfort) Zone out.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] I probably live 97.2% of my life squarely in the Comfort Zone. Outside of my professional duties, which require me to be pleasant and approachable, outgoing and normal, I am not a social risk taker. I fear the unknown almost as much…
