Hey everyone, 

Our 2015 race season is quickly approaching and it is going to be Bigger, Badder and Radder than ever before. 

It's the same 3.1 miles with twice as many color stations. That means you won't go more than half a mile before our volunteers will cover you from head to toe in powders and gels of pink, yellow, green, blue and violet. 

If you want to run for free and earn some extra cash send us a message with your:

Even though the holiday’s are over, we’re not ready to let go of our peppermint filled drinks or dreams. While our peppermint dreams are full, are bank accounts are still feeling the empty from all that spreading of holiday cheer. Which is why this Starbucks inspired skinny, peppermint mocha will be forever keeping our winter hands warm and since we consider you a best friend we’re passing on this recipe.

Mocha Mix:

⅔ cup fat-free milk

⅔ cup strong brewed coffee or decaf, I used Starbucks Vanilla K-cup, see shopping tips

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa, see shopping tips

2 packages Splenda, Equal, Truvia (Stevia) or your favorite sugar substitute

⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract, see shopping tips

Optional Topping Ingredients:

2 tablespoons light whipped cream

Dash of cocoa or crushed candy cane


 pieces

Instructions

1. Brew coffee stronger than usual. In a small pot, add milk, cocoa, Splenda and peppermint extract. Over medium high heat, mix until cocoa is dissolved and mixture is hot.

2. Transfer to a blender and process for about 15 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry. Just whisk the mixture in the pot continuously with a wire whisk until foamy.  Pour brewed coffee into a large cup and pour hot milk mixture over coffee. Stir to blend.

3. Top with whipped cream, if desired.

Eating snacks with the right calories and the right nutrients, will keep your body energized and help you lose weight. Protein (plus exercise) fuels the growth of lean muscle mass, boosts metabolic rate, and increases calorie burn. While there’s no food that will literally “burn fat” while you eat it, smart choices with these ingredients will help your body operate at maximum efficiency, here’s our favorite snacks to optimize healthy choices.

There’s a reason it’s called “the most wonderful time of year” and not “the month you worry about your health”, every delicious holiday thing has so much sugar in it! We tried finding some none sugar free options, and they were way too much work  (we’re BUSY!). Then we stumbled on these no bake balls, and time stood still.  They’re easy to make and even easier to eat. And you don’t need to waste any extra time feeling guilty for a second serving.

Ingredients

1¼cup coconut flakes, shredded, unsweetened

4 tablespoons cocoa powder, unsweetened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup chocolate chips*

1 banana, mashed

½ teaspoon chocolate liquid stevia

9 dates, pitted, chopped

We get it, it’s the holidays; it’s hard to leave the house when there’s a fire roaring, treats on the counter, and family/friends gathered close. But be warned, the holidays are a month long! That’s 4 weeks for your body to go from taut to not. With our month plank challenge you can stay one step ahead of those New Year’s resolution makers.  It’s hard to believe the power of the plank until you try it. You’ll build a strong core with this deceptively simple exercise.

Here’s some tips from our RAD trainer Tess, to plank your way to perfection! -Place your forearms on the ground and line up your elbows directly underneath your shoulders. -Curl your toes under and lift your body off the ground. -Squeeze your glutes and tighten your abdominals. Do not let your hips sag! -Maintain a neutral neck and straight line from your head to your toe.
