My Makeover for Mind, Body, Spirit
March 30, 2010 By 6 Comments
by Tamara Jacobi, Eco-Adventurer | I’m fairly certain that everybody has bad days. Yes, even those ridiculously peppy people that we all know occasionally wake up with a storm cloud over their head. It’s simply part of life. Not every day is going to be filled with sunshine and rainbows (surprise?). There’s really nothing wrong on those bad days, they’re just bad, and they often pass quite quickly…

by Margaret Burns Vap, Big Sky Yoga Retreats | I know some of you out there aren’t yoginis. You’d rather lace up your running shoes, hop on your bike, or do whatever other activity calls your name.

Fueling Your Goals
March 22, 2010 By 15 Comments
by Mary DeLaney, Featured Athlete | Spring is starting to make itself seen, little by little. The sun is up a bit earlier and staying out a bit later. In the colder climates we are watching the snow melt and some early flowers push through the ground.

Run With Your Life
March 15, 2010 By 20 Comments
by Rachel Coleman, Featured Athlete | At the beginning of 2010 I set a goal to complete my first triathlon and to run two half-marathons. (I like to do my marathons one half at a time.) And while I was setting goals, I decided to go for breaking my personal record of running 13.1 miles in 2:05:02. This year I will break the 2-hour mark. Do I really think life is going to simply unfold just the way I plan it? You would think by now that I would know better than that. Here’s what happened…
