I had a race this weekend and as I explained in yesterday's entry I almost let my excuses talk me out of it. Today I want to share some things that popped in my head, and not just yesterday but on other race days. It is funny what you think when you are racing, or… Continue reading My Race Moments

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
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
Where Dreams Come True
Today I ran 6.22 miles, or in Disney Princess Half Marathon terms, I have run from Epcot and made it into Magic Kingdom and around the Castle :)! This has made my day! My pace was 13:40 but I ran 6.22 miles! Six months ago I would have thought this impossible, now it is reality… Continue reading Where Dreams Come True
My other passion and a short PSA
My blog is mostly about my journey and has focused primarily on my running, which has become part of my life and something I really enjoy and oh, by the way it is making me healthier. Tonight I want to share a message about another passion of mine, rescue animals. This might scare some of… Continue reading My other passion and a short PSA
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.
Nike, take me away!
What a week! Not only have I not posted to my blog, but from Saturday to Saturday I did not run or go to the gym. This week really got away from me, but today, finally, I got to run. Who needs Calgon when you have a pair of Nike's and a running path… Continue reading Nike, take me away!
