We are in the 3rd week of January now and all of those lofty goals you set for your self are starting to sink in. In fact yesterday, the 15th, was quitters day. 90% of people who set goals give up on them after 15 days… you might be asking yourself are these even possible? Maybe so but […]
I ran this years Polar Dash 5k in (drum roll please…..) 28:29!!!That is 2:02 faster than my best time for this race! I’ve signed up for the whole series this year so that was a great way to start. Now when they say Polar Dash, they mean it this year it was -2 out and […]
Life these days is a little crazy, I’m sure it is for everyone. Back to school season dosen’t only affect those with kids it affects all of us. Its the time of year when life gets busy again. THis isn’t a time to start any major changes (as least not for me) so I’m going […]
I signed up for my first 10k!! It’s not until June 30th so I have plenty of time to train and I have a training plan so that is good. Plus its for a great cause, I’m running for the Children’s Cancer Research Fund. For more information on why I choose this race check out […]

“New Year, New Marriage” Its the end of 2009 and I’m excited for 2010! This is a time for new starts and resolutions so how about this one “I resolve to make my marriage better this year.” This doesn’t mean its bad now but it can always get better right? Here are some ideas: 1. […]
It seems like it is impossible to make personal goals (loose weight, eat better, get in the Word more, and so on) and keep them so starting today I have a new approach. I’m going to map out who I want to be and then when I’m tempted to deviate I’ll ask myself if it […]
I am completely aware that if I was to set up high and lofty goals of I will do this and I won’t do that, it would fail. So I’m working on slow and steady changes that will hopefully become a habit. Here is what I have done so far: ~I am continuing with my […]
So what am I going to do? A New Years resolution? Goal? Huh. I think I’m going to do a resolution, but not the typical ” I will lose 10 lbs by summer” or “I will do devotions everyday” Its going to be stated very simply but the way it plays out will hopefully be […]
