Skipping Cross-Training and Weights:

      This doesn’t even need a long explanation.  It’s pretty self explanatory.  It’s a simple, well duh.  But, it is the one thing I have to really force myself to do.  Which is silly because as a runner, it will help me improve my times, endurance, etc. even if I only workout twice a week. (…)

THE TV: Mindless watching and Eating in Front of It

I am combining these two, because, they go well together, and involve the same “enemy”.  Let’s start with the mindless watching.  After work the other night, I grabbed the husband and furkids and headed to the vet.  They got their Bordatella squirt in the nose, weighed, checked out, Mia got a nail trim… then, I(…)

A Big Day!

A Big Day!

Yesterday I joined Charlene and her great sons as a volunteer at the Red Rock full and half marathon.  What a fabulous time it was!!  We had signs (thanks Charlene for making them), cow bells, party horns, music (for a little while), but most importantly water and HEED.  We were stationed 0.8 miles from the(…)

Self Doubt

      This one came to mind last week, when in conversation with J about a logo design for Sole Sister on the Run, she said when she thinks of me she sees strength, confidence and determination.  And, for a moment, when I read that, I thought that girl was crazy.  I asked other friends(…)

Habit 1: High Heels

I was really about to go with Self Doubt today, but, am still working on that post, based on some comments I received yesterday… So, today we will talk about high heels…. how I love them, yet my feet now hate them.  Is this a part of that growing up thing I keep hearing about? (…)

Habits I Love….

…. But Need to Quit I once read the book ‘Seven Habits of Highly Effective People’.  Sadly, I don’t remember all of it.  This blog is in a different direction.  Today, we are going to discuss Seven Habits I Love, but need to give up.  I could spend days debating effective and what works… I(…)

My Meat Free Week

My Meat Free Week

So last week I decided to try to not eat meat all week.  I was going to still eat fish (sorry, but I love seafood) and some cheese.  Overall, I did very well.  I wasn’t hungry, and actually felt better as the week went on.  I already ate a ton of vegetables, and in the(…)

Color Fun and Long Run

Finally Friday….

Finally Friday….

Actually, this week has been pretty darn good all around, so I can’t complain.  I achieved the goal of running 5 miles straight with no walk breaks.  This was big for me, as anything over 4 I was doing a run/walk combo on.  I kept an average pace of 11 min per mile, and had(…)
