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

Be a Crafty Runner
So this weekend I ran my first race since the Half in Disney, and it was my birthday, and I got Bon Jovi tickets, and yesterday (Monday) was National Napping Day (which I celebrated in style). What more could you ask for in a weekend? At my age not much, it was a full and… Continue reading Be a Crafty Runner
One more time for the Womankind
I truly believe this quote. After finding myself almost ranting about women being oppressed at least twice in the past week, I feel the need to put this out here. I am not a militant feminist or anything, I do not think any woman needs to be, we carry all of the power without so much as… Continue reading One more time for the Womankind
Will Run for Tattoos
Well, I will not run for tattoos, I have a horrific fear of needles; just listening to my daughter get this tattoo gave me chills. Completing this half marathon is a big deal for me, my daughter, and many women I have met along the way; I think we all want to reward ourselves in… Continue reading Will Run for Tattoos
A Really Long Detour
So apparently blogging over the past almost six months was not be part of my journey from here to me. I have missed it and have thought about it often; but training and chatting and working and life kept moving this down my list, but I really need it back in my life. Quick catch… Continue reading A Really Long Detour
Never Forget
In reverence today we remember all those lost, all those saved and all those who came together as heroes in this horrific event. Today and always we need peace and love throughout the world.
Packing, sweeping, and dusting count as a workout!
Yesterday I took off from running, exercising and blogging; I spent the day doing pretty much nothing. I was feeling a little guilty but knowing I had to clean and start packing today made me feel less guilty and I am over it. Today started off nice, I went to Half Priced Books and picked… Continue reading Packing, sweeping, and dusting count as a workout!
Fanny Packs and other things that inspire you
Today I did my five-mile run/walk on the river; I did five miles and it took about 70 minutes, about a 14:00 minute mile, considering the air quality was awful and humidity had to be 186% I was happy with it. Before I finish this inspiring message, I have to tell you about my conversation this… Continue reading Fanny Packs and other things that inspire you
Leave the gun, take the cannoli
Ugh! I am really getting frustrated with myself and my current eating habits. I have lost just over 42 pounds since January and I am very happy with that. My workout routines have gotten more frequent and intense lately and I think less about smoking every day. But eating lately is making me crazy! I… Continue reading Leave the gun, take the cannoli
We are a strange little band of characters
This is a late post tonight and probably a short one. Tonight I spent time with my family, some of that time was at the gym with my daughter and some of the time was chatting online. I enjoy spending time with my family no matter how that happens, my love for them is very… Continue reading We are a strange little band of characters
