21 Days huh?

So I think my inconsistent blogging, my inconsistent exercise, and my inconsistent weight loss would indicate I have some sort of commitment issue, and the saying is that it takes 21 days to form a habit, I am on a 21-day quest. For the next 21-days I will exercise every day, blog every day, and track… Continue reading 21 Days huh?

Anticipation…

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…

What Ferris Bueller and I have in common

We took a day off; although my day was not quite as full as Ferris's it was still a good day. Fridays are my rest day in my training program and since this is my first week of training I decided to do it right and took a vacation day from work.  I did not… Continue reading What Ferris Bueller and I have in common

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?

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

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

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
