Hi everyone! I have not posted recently, been pretty busy training for my next half in September. I have not posted mostly because my running has not motivated me to post. Not that I am not running, that is happening for sure; had one of my best runs ever last weekend. It is just that… Continue reading One More Day with Charlie

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…
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?
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
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
Ease on down the road
One more run down towards my half marathon goal. Today I ran my 2nd officially timed 5K race. I ran the race at the same place where I ran my first one. This course is at a local park with many hills, it is so easy to forget how hard it is to run uphill.… Continue reading Ease on down the road
Why do you do it?
My family and I did a fun little run last night sponsored by a local athletic store. Myself, both of my daughters and my daughters boyfriend paid $5 each to participate in the run, a portion of that money goes to a local charity and we got a free beer and a "Run to… Continue reading Why do you do it?
Slutty Brownies and flavored vodka
Sometimes you just have to take the night off, last night was one of those nights. Both of my adult (I clarify this because this post involves drinking) daughters were home visiting last night and they convinced me that we needed to get drunk and bake. I need to describe to you what we baked,… Continue reading Slutty Brownies and flavored vodka
