Perfect Pumpkin Workout For Fall

,

I’m a summer girl. I like hot weather and blazing sunshine. While most people are ushering summer out like a distant relative overstaying their welcome, I mourn its passing into fall. Dramatic? Maybe.

Fall and winter have good qualities, I know. For one, much more pleasant running weather, outdoor workouts, fall fashion (for me, leggings instead of shorts), and of course, pumpkin everything!

I am trying my best to welcome fall and everything it offers, so I created this fun workout to get outside and have a little pumpkin fun! What’s the difference between a 12-pound medicine ball and a 12-pound pumpkin? The taste!

Try this full-body runner-specific strength workout with your favorite pumpkin.

  • Perform 6-12 reps (on each side, if applicable)

  • Perform 1-3 sets of each exercise

  • Rest for 30 seconds to one minute between sets

Fitness is 90% Mental: The Mindset Traps Holding You Back

Most of us are stuck in habits and thought patterns that we didn’t even realize we were practicing. Whether it’s negative self-talk on loop, the trap of thinking every workout has to be a high-intensity suffer-fest, or being so obsessed with the scale that we miss the small meaningful wins, these mindsets can sabotage our progress. In this blog, we look at how to identify these traps, give ourselves some grace, and start choosing a new way to think about health and consistency.

The Myth of the After Photo: Embracing the Messy Middle

Before and after photos make it seem like the middle is just something to endure until you reach the end. The reality is that there isn’t really an after picture. The real magic happens in the messy middle. It is found in getting through a tough Tuesday when you’re tired and the fridge is empty. Here is why the middle is where your real life happens and how to find meaning in the journey.

The Mental Grey Zone: Are You Running Junk Miles With Your Brain?

I don’t know about you, but I get motivated at the start of the year only to have that energy fade by February. On January 1st, it feels like this will finally be the year everything clicks.

5 Year Essay For a Remarkable Life (The 9 Year Update)

In 2017, while working a corporate job I wrote a blog post dated five years into the future. I described my dream life in vivid detail, right down to the breakfast I'd eat and the way my business would feel. Then, I let it sit in my drafts for nearly a decade.

Reading it now in 2026 is surreal. While the timeline took longer than I imagined, the feeling of my life today is identical to that vision. I am sharing the unedited 2017 draft today as a lesson in the power of knowing your "why" and daring to write it down.

2025 Recap: The Quietest Year and the Biggest Change

Since 2009, my year-end recaps have been full of accomplishments, travel, races and certifications. But reflecting on 2025, things looked different.

New Year, New You Revisited

The arrival of a new year often brings a specific kind of pressure to reinvent every aspect of our lives overnight. We tend to latch on to the idea that we can only improve through massive action and radical shifts in our daily routines. While the ambition is admirable, this approach is frequently a recipe for overwhelm and a quick return to old habits by mid-February.

True, lasting change rarely takes root in high stress environments. For the rest of us, the path to health lies in a more grounded and thoughtful approach that respects our unique context. By discovering a deeper motivation, committing to the bare minimum, and leading with self-compassion, we can move away from the cycle of burnout. It is about shifting our perspective from reaching a finish line to enjoying the daily journey, allowing wellness to become a part of who we are rather than just something we are trying to achieve.
