Some people might know me as “Molly, from ABC’s The Bachelor” or “The girl he didn’t choose, but later took back… after dumping his first choice on national TV”. However, to those who are close to me, I am just an easy-going, Midwestern girl who likes to cook, shop, and have a good time.
I have lived in the Midwest my entire life, born and raised on meat and potatoes. When I am stressed, I cook myself a big comfort meal. When I am feeling tired, I take a nap. When I am having a “fat” day, I snack on Baked Lays rather than Nacho Cheese Doritos. I have never been the type of person who consistently exercises, nor do I watch what I eat, but a recent change in my life has gotten me to start thinking about how I take care of my body.

The North Face’s brand name refers to the north face of a mountain, which is generally the gnarliest, freakishly cold and ice-laden route to climb. The powers-that-be over at The North Face believe this name reflects their mission and dedication to the extreme.
The folks over at The North Face are hardcore.

I’m not sure what’s gotten into me, but lately I’ve been looking for excuses to visit the doctor. And his name? Dr. Martens.
It started with my earlier blog about the McMartens Tartan, which have the appeal of a kid’s rain boot, yet they also make me think impure thoughts of Sean Connery and Gerard Butler. (P.S. I Love You, too, man.)

Six months ago, when Jimmy stopped by my desk to tell me that I could have a pass to the 2009 New York Marathon, compliments of ASICS, I told him I would think about it, but I knew I was going to say yes right away. It was sort of like giving blood—you know it’s going to hurt, but it’s really for the greater good. So I “thought it over” for a few days, and then told him I was in.

Ease. That’s the best word I can use to describe the Dr. Martens Tevin men’s loafer. Okay, you could also throw in stylish, comfortable, and durable but that’s just confusing the issue.
When men everywhere sit down and wonder what to wear today, there’s only one shoe to grab: the Tevin. I can attest it goes with absolutely everything in my closet—from jeans for Seahawks games to khakis for my sailing lessons to slacks for job interviews. It really is that versatile…which means one less decision I need to make before my morning coffee. I just slip on and don’t give it another thought.

Fitness favorites for the average Jane
I ran the Lakefront Marathon in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on October 4th. My sister Mary Louise lives there with her family so I combined the race with a visit.
This is the first marathon I’ve run that had a beer tent at the finish—with free beer! As I’ve been told (and reminded) any event in the Midwest is just not complete without a beer tent, so there you go. Needless to say, I opted for chocolate soy milk instead of flat, watery beer (yum!) but my brother-in-law and nieces (of legal age, of course) chose otherwise.

While there are indeed many times when you actually don’t mind being wet—showering, swimming, being hosed off when you catch fire—hiking is simply not one of them. Because face it, nature wasn’t meant to be experienced in wet, squishy socks.
That’s why science called a time-out from smashing atom particles and instead created GORE-TEX®. Hikers and campers rejoiced and Boy Scouts sang songs. This miraculous material turns shoes and jackets into waterproof and windproof barriers to keep you dry on any trek. But the best thing? It’s highly breathable to cool you down during intense activity. This state-of-the-art climate control ensures you stay comfortable…well, as comfortable as you can get hiking on a 40-degree incline 900 feet above sea level.
