The Two Keys
Today is day 81 of running at least a mile a day for 100 days. There are many nuggets of wisdom in this process, but two key elements that keep coming up for me over and over. 1. It’s a mindset shift. If you don’t give yourself a choice, exercise is just a given. If… Continue reading

Learning
Today marks 57 days consecutively that I’ve walked or ran at least 1 mile. (I actually thought I’d hit the half-way mark a while ago, but discovered I had miscounted, darn it!) While my poor sick daughter was resting comfortably after a bit of soup, I knew my daily mile was still waiting for me.… Continue reading

Mr. Mom
I love my husband. Seriously. This whole mommy getaway adventure is because of him. He encouraged me to go, assured me it would all be taken care of, and he had it all under control at home. Seriously!? Who wouldn’t love this man? Here is what he’s been up to: Reading to Jake’s class during… Continue reading

Everyday.
I’m in the middle of a fight. A bad one. She shows up and challenges me. She thinks it would be much nicer, more convenient to just take a day off. “Relax,” she says. “Come sit in the sun with your pup and just sip coffee for a while…oh, you could read your book! How… Continue reading

I had just started my workout, was sufficiently sweating like a beast, ahem, “glistening”, and the thought crossed my mind to just stop the workout and sit down. I could always just “do it later”. I mean really? Work out? In… Continue reading

Birthday Fitness Trifecta
So I had a crazy idea…and recorded it this morning, you know, for accountability. There was no way I could put this out there and then not do it. After my 37 laps, I relaxed and refueled back at the hotel room. Because it was still much to warm outside, I decided to wait just a… Continue reading

First Run
Last night I ran my first run in Texas. When I asked my husband (who had been here previously to scout out housing) what it was like, he said, “It’s flat and brown.” Man does he have a way with words, or what?! I was running on base around sunset and found a track, right by the golf… Continue reading
