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

It Was the Best of Times…
In a recent writing prompt, it was asked to describe when the phrase, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” accurately described life. Now. Now is when that phrase is so appropriate.

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!)

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 killed myself last year running crazy miles to achieve the goal of 300. I felt great though,… Continue reading

Pride (aka Tooting One’s Own Horn)
A collective conversation happening with some of my health and fitness peeps has sparked my thoughts in the arena of pride. It’s interesting as we become healthy, lose weight, gain strength and do all the things that were once thought impossible, people around us start out supportive, and then either join in the movement with… Continue reading
