Let’s get moving this summer! We all know we should probably move more. But we get busy, wrapped in work or other responsibilities. We want to get out and go for that walk but those emails need to be answered. Our gym membership is gathering dust but you gotta run the kids to school, sports,…
Recently Honey Stinger came out with their You Don’t Have to be a Pro campaign and it got me thinking. Of course, their campaign is focused on their product but I think we can apply this to our running or fitness in general. Because let’s be real, anyone reading this blog probably isn’t a pro. …
