This last week marked our first Fitness Friday of 2010. For those who don’t know what Fitness Friday is, periodically throughout the year, we at Title Nine close down our offices and team up for an afternoon of sport. The activities vary and are designed to be challenging, fun and sometimes a bit whacky. All [...]

A big fat thanks to everyone that made it out to our Annual Mother’s Day Title Nine 9k Race. A blast was had by all. Check out the Top times and our pictures!

Mother’s Day only rolls around once a year. How do you t9-ify your special day? A few years back we started our own traditon.

Calling all skippers, hoppers, runners and walkers of all ages. Take a peek at inspiring pics from last year’s race.

Our Merch team member, Christina reflects on our first event in the T9 Challenge. “Yes, I did run track. But this was a real non-scholastic race – I’m talking about my first real race where it was me versus Little Father Time

It’s ironic. My last post, a million years ago, was how I could not stop doing yoga, once I started a practice.
And then, I stopped! Ha! And then, stopped blogging because since I stopped practicing regularly I couldn’t really talk about THAT. Well I could, but I felt sort of ashamed. But nonetheless, I am [...]

So, what does courage tempered by wisdom look like? How is it different from the kind of courage that prompts our friends to say “You’re so brave!” when what they’re really thinking is “You’re so out of your mind!” Yoga set me on a path of awareness and self-discovery.

Bowling? Nope. Bad time.
Golf? Nope. Already filled.
So, off to yoga we went.

Everyone has a story about how they fell in love with running. Here’s mine. It’s long, just like a good training run on a Saturday morning… I usually don’t make New Year’s Resolutions, passing them off as trite, meaningless promises we make to ourselves but easily forget about when the hangover wears off and we’re faced with the reality of life again. “I’ll go the gym everyday, eat healthy and try to be a more positive person at work. And I’ll volunteer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters.” The first two weeks, we hit the gym every day, eat according to the Food Pyramid and grumble less at work.

After completing a half marathon I was posed the question by my good friend Elaine, “Why would anyone run that far if they weren’t being chased?” I have since pondered that question and some days haven’t been able to come up with a good answer. However, after careful consideration, a few things have come to the forefront of my mind.
