On Tuesday I started my training for a half marathon I am running in September. Today was my second training run and it was not a good run. I had to go into work early for a meeting so I ran about an hour earlier than I normally would run and I did not go… Continue reading A bad run is still better than…
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…
Happy Mothers Day!
Happy Mothers’ Day to all of the fabulous moms in the world! I love this little saying I found today, it made me laugh out loud and I thought I would share it :). 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?
Carry On
Well, it has been a little over a month since my last post and it has been a month which carried a lot of sadness. On April 12, 2013 the world lost a strong and loving woman, on this date my mother passed away after a period of extended illness; my world will never be… Continue reading Carry On
Altruism and Grace
I am going to forego my running updates (well at least in part, I will mention it in the end), to discuss giving and forgiving. I had a situation this weekend where at some point I said to someone "Take off the saint hat, it does not fit". It was certainly a mean thing to… Continue reading Altruism and Grace
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
My Race Moments
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
