I have been wearing my Fitbit Flex for one full year. And by wearing, I mean I have worn it nearly 24 hours a day, seven days a week for one full year. Today I wanted to share a "review" and why I think this fitness tracking method has worked for me. First some basic…

Since May 1 (for nearly three weeks), I have been wearing a fitbit flex non-stop. I wear it all day. I wear it in the shower. I wear it to bed. I have taken it off a few times while I am at my computer to charge the battery – but that's it. I have…

This was my second half marathon. I ran my first last June. I could not have had more opposite experiences with the two. For that first one, I was scared because I didn't know what to expect. I had done relatively well with my training, which meant I had ran 3-4 times a week including…

Oh man, I wanted so badly to be able to report good news on this post today. And happily, I can. It was magic that I decided to attempt the race after some shin pain Saturday. It was magic that as I crossed the start line, my favorite part of this song kicked in "Run…
