I had so many friends racing this weekend, several of them running their first marathon. It was awesome to watch the results come in and see their pictures! It was so exciting I have signed up for three races that will take place over the next two months, this does not include the two I… Continue reading So many races, so little money

The first time
These two shirts represent the very first 5k I ever raced and the 1-year anniversary of that race. They really represent for me the beginning of my journey. The journey that is leading me to challenges like 21 straight days of exercise and blogging, the journey that lead me to sign up for two races… Continue reading The first time
T.G.I.F.
That is right, it has been 11-days straight I am not beyond using an old school acronym and a cute kitten to fill my blog. But, I still held up my end of this deal; I am here to share my words with you and I got down with the Beginners' Yoga video today. Beginners'… Continue reading T.G.I.F.
Thanks! I needed that.
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 Longest Day
Today was a good day, but a long day. Early running, light breakfast, off to work (5 hours from my home), several hours at work (no lunch), 5-hour drive home, etc. Glad to be home, happy to be on Day-9 and still going. By the way, this is hard; working out every day and writing… Continue reading The Longest Day
Get ‘er done
I just want to say that titles like this happen when you have to blog every day because of commitment issues and you are not a writer. But I did in fact "Get 'er done" today. Yesterday I came up with two scenarios on how I could get my workout in while traveling, today, I… Continue reading Get ‘er done
One week down, two to go
http://maickelmelamed.com/Quien_es.html - This man, Melamed Maickel, finished the Chicago Marathon yesterday. What makes that so remarkable? He is battling Muscular Dystrophy; it took him about 16-hours, but he finished. I would like to state that any excuse I have or thought I might have, is now invalid. I am on Day-7, or a third of… Continue reading One week down, two to go
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
I Can’t do That
Day-5 of my quest and my 4th visit to my fitness boot camp. The Vince was not the instructor today but Trenton was definitely as effective! Today our BC was 60-minutes, 47 different moves of 60-seconds each. The warm up moves, relatively easy, everything after that, all I could think was, "I can't do that".… Continue reading I Can’t do That
The hardest part so far
I am on DAY-4 of my 21-day quest to blog, exercise, and eat right every day. The hardest part so far, blogging every day. I am not as verbose, or probably should say I am not as interesting, as I thought I was going to be. That being said, I can still tell you about… Continue reading The hardest part so far
