So This is What Schizophrenia Feels Like
Originally posted on Life and Other Stuff: I love to write. While I doubt I’ll be selling the next New York Times best seller anytime soon, (at least while the littles are still little), I do enjoy having a creative outlet and and entertaining the 3 people (including my parents) who think I’m “just the… Continue reading

Trepidation and Encouragement
On Tough Mudder eve, I’m feeling nervous. Like every new race, I’m always nervous. Anxiously reviewing the list of preparations, questioning whether there was enough training, enough sleep, enough nutrition….the list goes on and on. I have never regretted trying new things. Ever.

The Great Aloha Run….
This was the crew – bright eyed and ready to run!! Today was my last event in Hawaii….and it’s been a bittersweet day. I ran 8.1 miles at a pace of 10:11. Not too shabby considering less than a year ago I WALKED my first event and have no idea what my time was. I… Continue reading
