And Now… Tunesday, LIVE!

There’s something to be said for live music during a training session. The raw sounds of the voice, and the minimal post-production/technology really adds something.

Plus, I always pretend the background applause is for me. (Because I am dominating another training session).

For this weeks choice, I decided on the live version, simply because of the applause. And it’s a good song.

I Don’t “Find” Time To Run…

As we get ready to roll out our February box, we are reminded to make time for the things we feel are important.

This means family, friends, and yes, running. A daily run keeps us sane, balanced, and happy. And although daily schedules may not allow time for a run, it’s up to us individually to tell our schedules that running is important, and it will happen.

Have a great week, and… just keep running!

Classical Tunesday… Hold The Lyrics.

There comes a time during a run where you need something upbeat, but without all those filthy, dirty lyrics that all the kids are loving these days.

Well, for those that like a nice instrumental violin background to your run, this Tunesday is for you. Take one part violin, one part BPM, and add some popular dance music, and what do you have?

If I’m Free, It’s Because…

Jimi Hendrix was more than just a great guitar player, he was a great motivator.

Now I have a hard time envisioning Hendrix strapping on the runners, and heading out for a half-marathon, this quote seems to sum up one of the best parts of running.

Even though he may be talking about a different type of running, he still knew that running keeps you sane, happy, and free.

If I’m Free, It’s Because, I’m Always Running… – Jimi Hendrix.

No Bake Healthy Energy Bites – Friday Tryday!

OK ya’all, its Friday Tryday, and you know what that means!!!

Every Friday, we’ll give you a cool homemade project or recipe, or make-do something that you can try out over the weekend, then, maybe if you aren’t too busy oogling over all the great work you did, you can come back and share your results…

You’ll want to make double of this weeks project, because around our house they go really quick. It’s also a great recipe for the kids to help with because there is NO HOT OVENS OR STOVES involved…

No Bake Energy Bites from Gimme Some Oven

These were literally gone in less than a day in our house, and our kids loved them. I could see these replacing homemade granola bars really quickly.

It also seems like a good “base” recipe to add whatever other flavors or secret energy sources you have.

So, give them a try… have a great weekend!!!
