A Beginner's Guide to Running.
-I think everyone out there should read this article! Why? Because everyone can run. Did you know I used to hate running. It's true. I was the girl in gym class who would "sprain" her ankle an hour before the timed mile run just to get out of it. I didn't actually enjoy running until I stopped playing sports. While playing sports (even throughout college) running seemed more of a punishment. I associated running with negative thoughts, since I usually had to run a set distance in a set time causing a lot of stress for me. A few months after quitting my college lacrosse team, I began training for the Philadelphia Half Marathon. If you would have asked me 5 years ago to run a half marathon, I would have laughed at you. But I did it, and I enjoyed it. Not only is running healthy, it is a stress reliever. If you want to start running but aren't sure which steps to take, this article is for you.

Cheating with Food.
-I read this article in Self magazine a few weeks ago and found it very interesting. It is about a woman who "cheats" on her husband with food. I won't give it away any more, but I think it is so important that we have a healthy relationship with food. I myself have struggled with understanding the purpose of food in my life. I have just recently become content with the fact that food is nourishment for our bodies. And although I believe it is ok to indulge once in a while (say during a family event or holiday), we must control ourselves and learn to eat when our body is telling us to. Trust me, I still struggle with this...but I am getting much better at only eating when I am actually hungry instead of when I am bored.
