look who is watching girlfriendbooks | By maria,on January 2nd,2013%  Well,it was quite hard getting up this morning,after the nicest Christmas vacation my family has ever had. Although I’m filled with hope for 2013,it wasn’t looking so great at 5:30am! I spent some time browsing Amazon’s New Year,New You Event this morning to find some inspiration,and it came in the form of this title:The New Rules of Lifting for Women:Lift Like a Man,Look Like a Goddess . (Santa brought a Bowflex to our house this year.) Happy (and healthy) 2013,Girlfriends!
By maria,on August 17th,2012%  If there was a person in the world who didn’t think she could be a runner,it was me. Even though I was very active as a child and teenager,I was only active in those sports that did not require extensive running. Through the years I truly believed there was something wrong with my lungs! It turns out,there was nothing wrong with me,except the ability to believe I could do it. Yesterday I reached my first goal of running the distance of a 5k,the likelihood of which I imagined a few months ago to be the same as winning the lottery.
I read several books when I started,but my favorite,and the one I continue to reference,is from the former editor of Runner’s World,Runner’s World Complete Book of Beginning Running . If you have ever wanted to run,but didn’t think you could,this is a great book to get you started. It is never too late to start and it is so worth it! It will change your life. Have a great weekend,Girlfriends! P.S. The title quote is from Ann Trason,an ultramarathon runner. In my very limited running experience,I have found it to be true,slightly scary,and comforting,all at the same time.
