Smart. Sexy. Fun.
It's the last day of school and tradition calls for a teacher-versus-teacher relay race. This year, the kids wrapped their instructors in Saran Wrap and declared a bounce-off. The dude in the tie, who obviously makes a habit of taking himself too seriously, stole a quick lead, crossed the finish, and dropped it like it's hot — in the most uncool way ever. Read more
If you ain't too keen on PDAs, then look away. We got a long line of NYC love birds waiting around to demonstrate their pucker power to the individuals on each side of them. Is this some sort of a kiss relay race? No clue. But judging from these mini make-out moments, no one is in a rush and they all seem to enjoy their time aboard this cootie train. Have I mentioned? I heart NY. Read more
Running for a cause: Safe and clean water The Blue Planet Run will cover 15,200 miles, across 16 countries and 4 continents, 24 hours a day for 95 days to deliver an urgent and important message: We can and must begin to alleviate the catastrophic burden placed on over a billion people who, every day, must drink unsafe local water, or travel long distances on foot to search for safe water for Read more

The women's relay team will most likely have a shot for a repeat gold medal performance, too. A member of the winning relay team in Beijing, Natasha Hastings told us in a recent interview that she Read more
Being a beginner cyclist didn't stop FitSugar reader bjeanne18 from participating in a 15k bike race! She shares what it was like to shop for a bike and prep for her big race day in our FitSugar Community. The 15K bike race was part of the Corporate Challenge. I signed up for the bike race and a 5K run and they are the first races I've ever competed in as long as you aren't counting elementary Read more
When invited to run on a friend's team in the mother of all relays, you answer yes and start training immediately. This is how I joined the Van Tramps for the 30th running of the Hood to Coast Relay. I had seen the documentary (here's my review of Hood to Coast, the movie) and was honored to be in the 12-women team named partially after the Von Trapp family singers, immortalized climbing hills in Read more
I prefer Pilates and dance classes over high-intensity workouts, but a few weeks ago, I decided to try out my gym's bootcamp class. Thinking "boot camp" would consist of a bunch of girls doing some squats and jogging around the room, I figured I could handle it no problem.
