Listen, I get it.  I'm part hermit myself.  But the missing Richard Simmons?  What's up?   The "fitness guru, who hasn't been seen in public for three years, is fine, fine, fine," says older brother Lenny Simmons.   While rumors still swirl, what didn't change from Simmons' previous life, was his example, at teaching positive body image and good health practices.          story

I'm back!  Generally the day after vacation consists of a massive amount of laundry, and a desire to lose five (gloriously earned) pounds.  And this Day-After-Vacation was no different.   Luckily Nike's new ad campaign got me headed right to Zumba class.  Does it inspire you too?

BEST FOOT FORWARD

As shows in L.A. go, the Los Angeles Marathon competes with the best!  There are experienced senior citizen runners, foreigners, costumes, and romance, --you know the whole thing!     " . . . Nicolas Pogu re-created an iconic look from the movie “Forrest Gump,” crossing the finish line as Forrest during his cross country run across the U.S., down to the (fake) beard, Bubba Gump shrimp hat and yellow smiley face shirt."   And yes, people yell,  'run Forest, run!'  when you are dressed like that.   Support and camaraderie abounded.   Well done (February 14th) marathoners!     news
