A girlfriend quickly intervened and gave me liquid bronzer to use on my arms, shoulders, and legs — I've been a convert ever since. I like it because it gives the illusion of a natural tan but washes off Read more

Thankfully, I'm not looking to win a marathon anytime soon, but if I was, I'd know that running with an iPod is a dangerous move if I want to take home the gold. Take for example, the winner of the recent Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon winner, Jennifer Read more
This year's Chicago Marathon turned out to be a complete disaster due to the extreme heat because while most marathoners plan for the distance, they don't always plan for mother nature to decide your marathon day is a good day for it to be unseasonably warm. In light of this, The New York Times has a list of things to think about before heading out to your marathon, no matter where it is. There Read more
