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…

A bad run is still better than…
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…
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

When I put in my regular 5-day workout I stretch each time before and after my run or strength workout;… Continue reading Do not stretch the truth, but definitely stretch your body

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
Failure is NOT an option
I had a great run at the gym tonight, at least it was great for me. I am really new to this whole running for pleasure as opposed to running from danger thing; a lot of what I have done to this point has been lots of trial and a little error (do not want… Continue reading Failure is NOT an option
It can only be attributable to human error
Despite the title and the graphic above this is not a post about 2001: A Space Odyssey; both are quotes from the movie and after feeling a bit controlled and dependent on the machines tonight, the theme just seemed appropriate. Hope the reference is not too nerdy. When I started working out to improve my… Continue reading It can only be attributable to human error
