Do you yearn to run? It has been a crazy couple of weeks culminating in a 22-hour work day Sunday into Monday and three very long days since. With all of this work I have only run one time this week for about 30-minutes. On my way to work today one of the songs I… Continue reading The Yearning!

All is fair in Love and Running
Most everyone I know that runs will tell you that this is how you feel on some runs. I love Running, I Hate Running; I think the thought comes at different times for different runners, but I think it always comes. During the month of May I have run more days than any other month… Continue reading All is fair in Love and Running
Anticipation…
I do not like anticipation, waiting, surprises; I am a person of action and these things make me crazy. If I had to pick a weakness this would be it, I am not good at waiting. I was the kid digging through my parent’s closet weeks before Christmas, and I am the person who hates… Continue reading Anticipation…
What Ferris Bueller and I have in common
We took a day off; although my day was not quite as full as Ferris's it was still a good day. Fridays are my rest day in my training program and since this is my first week of training I decided to do it right and took a vacation day from work. I did not… Continue reading What Ferris Bueller and I have in common
And so it begins…
Officially started my training today for my next half; I am running the Rock n Roll Half in Philadelphia in September and I am pretty excited to be going back home to run a race. I have promises from friends in the area to be my Wine Girls, waiting for me at the finish line… Continue reading And so it begins…

It also lets us know that although we strive for perfection in our lives, we do not need to be perfect… Continue reading Happy Mothers Day!
Do or Do Not…..
I have this sign hanging near my back door, I have had this sign hanging somewhere in my house for the past several years. I look at it often and sometimes it really stops me in my tracks and makes me ponder the question. What would I do if I knew I could not fail?… Continue reading Do or Do Not…..
How far will you go?
I have been thinking for the past day about how far I am willing to go with my running. This past weekend two women that I know participated in long distance events; one in an Ironman and the other in her first marathon. I can tell you now that an Ironman will not happen… Continue reading How far will you go?
The Fitness Track is Rickety and my Train Keeps Derailing
In spite of successfully motivating myself to run the 10K this weekend, I am feeling like I cannot get back on track with the training I was doing before my half marathon. The two races I have run since the Princess Half have both produced slower finish times than races of the same length that… Continue reading The Fitness Track is Rickety and my Train Keeps Derailing
The 10K that almost wasn’t
I had a 10K race this morning; a race that almost did not happen, for me anyway. I had a million excuses running through my head. My race partner (my daughter) has the flu, my back has been hurting for about a week, in the past two weeks I have only run four times and… Continue reading The 10K that almost wasn’t
