Downsizing, Reorganizing, Purging, Moving and Other Things I’m Grateful For
I love a new year. I love the clean slate feeling. Perhaps it’s not just the clean slate, but more spring being on the horizon. (And yes, you can have a “clean slate” every day – no need to wait until “monday”, “tomorrow”, “next month” or even a new year.) For me, that clean slate… Continue reading

Miles and Other Stuff
I did it. I set a goal this year to do what a friend of mine had accomplished a couple of years ago when I was just starting out on this crazy fitness journey. I remember thinking that her milage was just crazy! How could anyone with 2 legs really run that much in a… Continue reading

The One I Don’t Want to Write
I lost 50lbs. We moved almost a year ago. I gained 8 lbs. The hubbs deployed. Then 12 lbs more creeped on. Old habits resurfaced. I thought I had this. I thought it was “under control”.

The Things I Do….
It has been said that “If you are interested, you’ll do what’s convenient. If you’re committed, you’ll do whatever it takes.” That pretty much sums it up for me lately, today in particular.

Wild Hairs and Crazy Ideas
Waking up this morning at o’dark thirty to a screaming, fit throwing, apparently possessed Hannah, I got the wild hair to get the workout done today before anything else. As I contemplated a run, (location, should I bring Jacob’s bike, just the stroller, decisions, decisions….) I got the genius idea to go for a bike… Continue reading

Megan McClung Memorial 5K
In light of my husband’s family tragedy, it seems so insignificant to post my little race report on the memorial run I did Saturday morning. When things of this nature occur – it brings perspective. Over the last few days I have been looking at my kids differently. When Jacob asks to push him on… Continue reading

Green-Eyed Monster
I have a confession. Whenever I see my neighbor run or ride his bike by my house – I am GREEN with envy! I don’t normally consider myself a jealous person, but it never seems to fail, when my place looks like this: this neighbor guy runs by looking something like this: Okay, not… Continue reading
