Yesterday I wore an old race shirt because I read about an idea on Facebook. The idea was simple. It asked runners everywhere to show their support for the Boston Marathon by wearing an old race shirt. The one I chose to wear was my first Nike Women’s Half Marathon shirt from 2005.  I wear […]

Revise and Reclaim Your 2013 Goals with a Vision Board

Create a vision board to reclaim your health, fitness and overall wellness goals.   I first heard about vision boarding from a former co-worker.  The topic came about during a difficult and yet opportune time in my life.

When my husband and I were looking at houses, we knew we wanted a place with a backyard.  A place where I could plant a garden — in the ground.  Imagine our excitement when we found our current home that came with two lemons trees, two apple trees, a plum tree, a yellow grapefruit tree, […]

August 3, 2012 By Tabitha Paculba 1 Comment

It was a sweltering 99 degrees when we pulled into the dirt parking lot.  As much as I wanted to let the dust settle before getting out, I had no choice as sweat began dripping down my right temple. Momentarily blinded by the glaring sun, we quickly walked past the sweeping rows of vines towards […]
