New PR!
As always, I do my best thinking while running and had a million thoughts and ideas for this post and now I’m ready to jot it all out and can’t remember half of them!! Here is what I DO remember: 1. I ran my 3rd half marathon today. While I still struggle to get (and… Continue reading

One year ago
It seems only fitting that I run a race on the anniversary of my very first. One year ago today my intentional fitness journey began. I had always wanted to do a 5k “someday”. Then I met Katy. Katy “talked me into” doing the Ford Island Bridge Run 10k. Well, why not? And she even… Continue reading

I lost 50 and other random thoughts
50 pounds. Just gotta take it in and celebrate it. I feel like this past year I’ve done quite a bit of “success celebrations”! Life isn’t always rosy, but I feel very grateful to be in my skin, in my shoes, and loving my life. We are settling in to our new home quite nicely… Continue reading

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

FUN Run!
On this morning’s run I did my usual 3.5 mile loop and coming back under the highway, we ran into this: I’m pushing my 70+ lbs of kids and stroller and the sprinklers were on!!!! It was so fun, and I was reminded of why I love doing this. I run to feel good. Forget… Continue reading

Back At It!!!
I had my first swim lesson today and I already feel so much more comfortable in the water and with my breathing!! Hooray!! Since training for the marathon and upping my bootcamp days to 3 days/week, it has come to my attention, ahem, my dear husband pointed out, rather, that I haven’t been as diligent… Continue reading

The People I Admire
It dawned on me today that I have become “one of ‘those’ people”. Six and a half months ago I began this bootcamp class. When I first started, you could look out at the other wives and see that we all fell into 1 of 2 groups: those of us just starting, and those that… Continue reading
