If you’ve been waiting for things to “calm down” before you take care of yourself, this one’s for you. Click HERE to grab the Midlife Movement Makeover

Think of it as the capsule wardrobe of movement: fewer choices, more freedom, and way less stress. Click HERE to grab the Midlife Movement Makeover

It's funny, but my husband actually can't take a compliment. I tell him how good he looks in a shirt, pants etc...and he always brushes it off. It's weird.
i like this podcast but for those if us who are sensitive to swearing, there's several cringe worthy moments.
Love love LOVE this episode. Thank you!
This is SO well timed! A few days ago I did my fastest 5k by accident. I was running my friend's pace, which is about a minute faster than my own, and ended up with some new pains. I got out for an easy run today to loosen up and it wasn't easy and didn't feel good AT ALL.
When I first started swimming, I was the slowest in the pool. I was bummed. My 21 year old son noted, "Mom, what do they call the slowest swimmer in the pool? A SWIMMER." So true! Same with running, as I'm telling myself. THANK YOU so much for sharing your wisdom and motivation!
I feel like you're targeting me personally with this episode!! I really needed to hear this today. I've really been trying to get myself to stick to my schedule.
What a great resource and supplement to my local running club routine. Validating runners of all shapes, sizes, ages, abilities. Learning to run in the body you're in right now!
Thank you so much for doing this podcast <3
Best podcast for women runners! Especially those that don't fit the profile of a typical runner!
