This corner lost a lot of weight on Wednesday. In October or so hubby and I hatched a plan, as we went through our stuff we would gather it all here and try to sell the things that were worth something. If they wern’t sold by 12/31/14 there were going to be donated no matter what […]
Last week I was looking through some pictures and I got excited. Prior to finding out I was pregnant with #2 training was going really well and I seemed to be bouncing back pretty quickly. I set a PR in a race I’ve run 3 years in a row and was looking pretty good. That got me excited […]
So I’m not sure I’ve ever been nervous for a race….at least not like this. Running while pregnant is well…. un-predictable. For 5 runs in a row you feel great and then bamm-o terrible, no good, very bad run. I’m so scared Sunday will be a bamm-o day. I keep trying to tell myself that […]
Training for this 1/2 marathon has been a challenge. There has been snow, sick baby, sick husband, medical concerns (that thankfully were not running related, more medical concerns (that also turned out to not be impacted by running) and general pregnancy tiredness that have gotten in the way…. Phew! However I’ve gotten in my long […]
As I said last week sometimes the simple task of simplicity is overwhelming. But taking baby steps can help. One of my daily steps is to unsubscribe from various e-mails. Instead of just deleting the junk (that I have signed up for at one time or another) I actually go in and unsubscribe. I’ve […]
So I have this crazy desire to life a simple life, the hubby and I have talked about it and we agree that its something we would like to work towareds. However…nothing has changed…nothing. After a little I’ve realized we skipped an important step we were over complicating simplicity, ha! I was trying to attack […]
At first I ran to lose weight, then it became cathardic and lets face it I was addicted. I knew I would never be the fastest but I could always be faster, or run further. I loved having a training plan and sticking with it. Now however I’m running, simply to stay healthy both mentaly […]
This year marks my 3rd year of being a ‘runner’ (by my own definition) and last week I experienced a new 1st. Not a great 1st like my first 1/2 marathon, or my 1st Disney run, this one was really hard for me. My first DNS (Did Not Start.) This was intensely more difficult than I could […]
Well guys it looks like spring is on its way….but I’m not holding my breath till all of this snow is melted and that is going to take a while. The back yard is covered by at least 3 feet of snow (maybe a little less after yesterdays warm up.) But yesterday, yesterday I ran […]
I don’t know if you could tell, probably not, but my blog and I have been in a fight. You see I like having a semi-popular blog. I like being able to get reviews and giveaways for you guys…but I hate forcing posts. I hate posting things that no one wants to read. So I’m […]
