Everyone has their "thing" or their "release", for me it is running/walking with my IPOD and my best friends.. the sneaks...
We all know that exercise is good for the physical bod, but for me it is more important for my mental "bod"... I think, out of all of the addictions out there, running is probably the best one that I could have adopted. It is during this hour that I am with me, myself and I, zero judgments, zero negativity, zero connections except for the one between me and my thoughts. My sneakers do not judge they do not scold when I do not push myself and they let me flow freely through the streets, on the treadmill and most importantly through my contemplations on what is going on in my life at that time. They let me dwell on the last 2lbs that I want to lose and they let me obsess over the last mile I know I should run, and they accept it allowing me this time.
Foodie news is so much fun for me and allows me to share my thoughts on food, nutrition and exercise. If anyone is reading this and has not uncovered their "healthy" vice, try downloading your favorite "tune out tunes" and walking for 30 minutes. You get to escape your daily routine and at the same time burn a few extra calories and get your heart rate up.... it is a win win situation and a fantastic find!!! Look below for average calories burned during walking at a moderate pace for 30 minutes and running at 6.0mph for 30 minutes.
Walking - 105 cals per 30 minutes
Running - 250 cals per 30 minutes

Jen - What happened to your blog?? You need to start writing again. How about a piece on Water and how much is too much, how little is too little, and the health benefits regarding it? I'll post it my Myspace page too!
