Running always seems to cure my maladies 🙂 While I’ve been sick, I’ve been trying extra hard to get more sleep… but it’s not always easy. I schedule myself way too thin! Lately, I am trying to take at least one night a week for myself, with nothing scheduled at all. No plans with friends, no booked gym classes, and not even plans to hit anything on my to-do list.

Working Out in the Digital World

health and fitness / 2 Comments

Today, instead of posting about Absolut fitness, I want to talk about App-solute fitness. (Sorry, I thought that pun was way too funny not to use – I know I’m a huge dork). Lately, it’s come to my attention that there are a lot of great and really cool ways to use my phone – but when I say a lot, I do mean a lot of cool apps.
