Last week, I wrote about being too tired to care and too stubborn to quit. I dropped the curtain a little, shared how close to burnout I was, and how much I was just trying to keep going.

Cheaters never win, and…
I found out today that someone I have run with in the past has cheated in several races. It really disturbs me that someone would do this. My journey to get healthy through running, exercise, and better eating has been pock-marked with successes and failures, I could never imagine cheating myself out of this journey.… Continue reading Cheaters never win, and…
Give me a break! Or not…
I have used this little bit of advice in my blog before; but it bears repeating. Giving up is NOT a good idea, changing your course, changing your method, changing what you are trying to accomplish are OK, but giving up is not.

If you are what you eat, I am in deep trouble
This is easier said than done. There, I said it, I am having a tough time with healthy eating. I smoked for more than 30 years, over a year and a half ago I quit and have never looked back.

The Fit and Fabulous 50s

It is easy to do and easy to understand. I do not have to find… Continue reading Day-1 – I really want a cookie
H is for Horses
H is for Horses and hills, cannot forget the hills. Yesterday I did the Biggest Loser 15K with my daughter in Lexington, KY. It was a fun and well-organized race and the scenery was beautiful.

10 things I learned over the past 21-days
Well, today is my 21st day. I ended it at boot camp, which is appropriate since it is this boot camp that inspired me to try this in the first place. Also, today's class instructor was The Vince, see my post from my second day to learn about The Vince. It was an exciting challenge;… Continue reading 10 things I learned over the past 21-days

This is not a great picture but it is the only one I have from today's race. Today I ran a 1/4 marathon with my daughter, I love when my daughter races with me and it has been a while since we have done one together. A little about the race course – The finish… Continue reading The Amazing Race
Bedtime Story
... There was an ambitious lady who thought it would be a great idea to work hard for 21-days straight so that she could be more fit and more consistent in her workouts and blogging. She washed her best running tights, laced up her best running shoes, and loaded up her spell check, and off… Continue reading Bedtime Story
