The Roast of Skibinski

July 29, 2012

First of all, how awesome of a last name is ‘Skibinski’? I don’t know why, but every time I hear it I think of the Szalinski family in ‘Honey I Shrunk the Kids’. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, one of our trainers, Eric, is leaving to enter the Navy Seals in two weeks. It’s [...]

Friday Link-up

July 6, 2012

In a break from work, I randomly decided to build the dogs a fort. I think I was more excited about it than they were. They still indulged me and slept under it begrudgingly. This week has been nuts! I know I keep saying that, but it’s true! We’re off to the wedding of some [...]

Too late for a shoe change?

May 1, 2012

I got new shoes this weekend. Exciting, and possibly a little stupid. Okay, a lot stupid. I’m running a half marathon at the end of the month. My first half marathon. I typically don’t make a lot of rash or compulsive decisions, but back in January, while I was feeling the high of challenging my [...]

The Tire Flip

February 29, 2012

Jessica Tire Flip from Kohler Created on Vimeo. Before I started working out, I used to watch other people work out. I used to dream of being fit, which at that time meant wearing spandex and running 8-minute miles. Oh and not sweating, because fit people don’t sweat. I always talked myself out of trying [...]
