A Jersey Shore 5k for a Cause

Laurie Cataldo — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 19:11:34 +0000

There are always a ton of races happening at the Jersey Shore, and I’ve signed up for another one. (Eek!) Luckily this one comes with its own motivation…it’s a charity run.

If you were driving around Shrewsbury or Red Bank last night and were confused by the mass amounts of people running around in all directions…I can explain.

Well after stuffing myself all week, it's back to reality.

How I Went From Couch Potato To Running 2+ Miles A Day

Laurie Cataldo — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:00:28 +0000

Let me make this clear: I am NOT a runner. I, like so many, resolved myself to knowing that I’m just never going to be that person who can run for an extended period time (unless I’m being chased by a bear or a murderer). So how is it that I’m now preparing to run [...]
