Boot camp was awesome this morning! Our instructor had some tough workouts planned and he definitely kept the class going, and kept us challenged. What was so awesome about it is that I could feel the difference in myself and what I was able to do and what I was able to push myself to… Continue reading Thanks! I needed that.

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
Day 3 – for lack of a more clever title
Is it too early for this quote? It is not really LONG after I said I would do it, but it has been three days. Actually it has been a good three days; still upright, have not really gotten mad at anyone, and I am here typing my blog. I did not commit to a… Continue reading Day 3 – for lack of a more clever title
The Yearning!
Do you yearn to run? It has been a crazy couple of weeks culminating in a 22-hour work day Sunday into Monday and three very long days since. With all of this work I have only run one time this week for about 30-minutes. On my way to work today one of the songs I… Continue reading The Yearning!
Oh, the Humanity!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/25/balpreet-kaur-sikh-woman-proudly-sports-facial-hair-faith_n_1913355.html Sometimes my faith in humanity needs to be restored. This story helped today. My posts are usually about me, my journey, my running, etc. I do not usually share stuff from the internet because chances are that if I found it you have already read it; but this story bears sharing and repeating. Someone… Continue reading Oh, the Humanity!
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
Happy Mothers Day!
Happy Mothers’ Day to all of the fabulous moms in the world! I love this little saying I found today, it made me laugh out loud and I thought I would share it :). It also lets us know that although we strive for perfection in our lives, we do not need to be perfect… Continue reading Happy Mothers Day!
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…..
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
