This is the weekend for running it seems! My friend Jess over at “Half of Jess” is running her first 5k today!!! My friend Josie over at “35 and Shrinking” is running a 10k!!! As for me, I’ll be running today… Not in a 5k or a 10k. Just running. Outside, enjoying the enviroment. I […] Before I get to the numbers, I’ve got a special shout out to my Sister in Sweat Meegan over at RedStar5. Today is her first 5k and I just want her to kick ass and enjoy the hell out of herself!!!! WAY TO GO MEEGAN!!! Okay, now down to business. A hard week of […] Tomorrow is going to be OWiS #15. I’ve put in a lot of hard work this week. I made a commitment to get up at 5am every morning and get to the gym or run before the beginning of my work day and I have been successful every day this week. Monday – Ran outside […] The weather has been relentless in these parts. Downpours, 50 mph winds, and 40 degree temperatures do not make for good running conditions for a newbie like me. This morning was no exception. I don’t want to put off running just because of the weather so today I took a deep breath and […] So…. First real date with Superman was yesterday. I was going to post something about it but I wanted to wait until today so that I could experience the full effect of the abuse he put me (Lois Lane) through. By abuse I of course mean love abuse love abuse…alright love. First […] When I run in my neighborhood I often come across this beauty of advice when crossing the street ——-> As a child we’re taught not to cross the street until we’ve look both to the right and to the left of us, making sure we are in no danger of getting to the […] I waited. Patiently. I cried in the middle of the night for no apparent reason, waking up and feeling stuck. But I didn’t get mad at myself. I just said “Well this must be what I needed to feel” so I cried myself to sleep and woke up the morning: Recovered and ready to move […] I really want to run today (I did run after this post). This damn rain is upsetting me. I’m up early on my day off to get out there and move. Instead I’m having to wait for the gym to open up (one hour to go) so that I can at least get a good […] …Some days are harder to get through than others. …I still see a 263 pound person in the mirror. …I was so mad at myself for sleeping in until 7 this morning, after working 15 hours yesterday. …I don’t ease up on myself. … I don’t pat myself on the back more. …I set myself […] It’s official. I can now buy this beautiful shirt. I’ve worked nine long weeks to be able to say I can wear this shirt and know it to be true. I woke up early this morning with that “runner’s anticipation” in my stomach. That nervousness in the pit of your stomach that starts […] |
