I've got some seriously itchy feet. I wanna get outside. I wanna get trainin'. I wanna race. I just gotta decide what my goal race will be for 2022.* Will it be cycling? Race walking? Power walking?

Strength Training: Am I Lifting or Simply Juggling?

February 12, 2021 By Bonnie Parrish-Kell

Finishing Last: Your Winning Moment

September 15, 2018 By Bonnie Parrish-Kell

autumn leaves, runners, legs only

Autumn in the Las Vegas means morning temperatures in upper 70s, low 100s in the late afternoon, shorter hours of daylight, and fresh squashes and pumpkins in grocery stores. I'm so eager to get outside again in the cool morning hours for my walks and bike rides. During the summer, I prefer treadmill workouts at the gym or indoor bike trainer sessions in my living room.
