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

Be a Crafty Runner
So this weekend I ran my first race since the Half in Disney, and it was my birthday, and I got Bon Jovi tickets, and yesterday (Monday) was National Napping Day (which I celebrated in style). What more could you ask for in a weekend? At my age not much, it was a full and… Continue reading Be a Crafty Runner
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
My other passion and a short PSA
My blog is mostly about my journey and has focused primarily on my running, which has become part of my life and something I really enjoy and oh, by the way it is making me healthier. Tonight I want to share a message about another passion of mine, rescue animals. This might scare some of… Continue reading My other passion and a short PSA
Never Forget
In reverence today we remember all those lost, all those saved and all those who came together as heroes in this horrific event. Today and always we need peace and love throughout the world.
Nike, take me away!
What a week! Not only have I not posted to my blog, but from Saturday to Saturday I did not run or go to the gym. This week really got away from me, but today, finally, I got to run. Who needs Calgon when you have a pair of Nike's and a running path… Continue reading Nike, take me away!
Packing, sweeping, and dusting count as a workout!
Yesterday I took off from running, exercising and blogging; I spent the day doing pretty much nothing. I was feeling a little guilty but knowing I had to clean and start packing today made me feel less guilty and I am over it. Today started off nice, I went to Half Priced Books and picked… Continue reading Packing, sweeping, and dusting count as a workout!
Failure is NOT an option
I had a great run at the gym tonight, at least it was great for me. I am really new to this whole running for pleasure as opposed to running from danger thing; a lot of what I have done to this point has been lots of trial and a little error (do not want… Continue reading Failure is NOT an option
Leave the gun, take the cannoli
Ugh! I am really getting frustrated with myself and my current eating habits. I have lost just over 42 pounds since January and I am very happy with that. My workout routines have gotten more frequent and intense lately and I think less about smoking every day. But eating lately is making me crazy! I… Continue reading Leave the gun, take the cannoli
We are a strange little band of characters
This is a late post tonight and probably a short one. Tonight I spent time with my family, some of that time was at the gym with my daughter and some of the time was chatting online. I enjoy spending time with my family no matter how that happens, my love for them is very… Continue reading We are a strange little band of characters
