I had so many friends racing this weekend, several of them running their first marathon. It was awesome to watch the results come in and see their pictures! It was so exciting I have signed up for three races that will take place over the next two months, this does not include the two I… Continue reading So many races, so little money

The Laundry Still Needs to Get Done
Day-6, the day reality set in on my adventurous quest to a better me. I love the idea of getting in shape, the idea of being more committed, I really wish I could do it outside the confines of real life. I did not think much about the everyday things like doing the dishes, sweeping… Continue reading The Laundry Still Needs to Get Done
The hardest part so far
I am on DAY-4 of my 21-day quest to blog, exercise, and eat right every day. The hardest part so far, blogging every day. I am not as verbose, or probably should say I am not as interesting, as I thought I was going to be. That being said, I can still tell you about… Continue reading The hardest part so far
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…
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?

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
Do not stretch the truth, but definitely stretch your body
Never underestimate the importance of stretching before and after a run; that is the lesson I learned today. I mentioned yesterday that I had not worked out for a whole week until my run yesterday. 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
