And the winner is….

Oh man I woke up all hella excited today!

Why?

Cause it’s National Running Day!

And if you’ve been following my blog (you have been following right?) then you know I’m doing my first giveaway and it’s time to pick the […]

Looking back at May / Superman / NRD coming up…

If I’ve learned anything while on this journey it’s the following: Be patient with yourself. Some days you’re going to feel like you’re zipping along at 150 mph and nothing can stop you. Other days you’re going to feel like getting out of bed is an emotional chore that you just can’t seem to […]

Listening to the universe…

I’ve had a bad week.

I am overwhelmed by so many things right now I’m having a difficult time seeing anything good in what I’m trying to do as a person, a wife, a friend, an athlete and as someone trying to lose weight. I don’t know if it’s because I crossed over […]

The Great Kilted Run / Mush

I’m not even sure where to begin talking about my experience yesterday. It was fantastic. It was emotional. It was hard. It was awesome. It was challenging. It was fun. It was inspiring. And it was damn near the toughest thing I’ve had to do in a long time (except for today’s session with […]

Food as part of the solution, not the problem / Pre-OWiS week in Review

Dang it!

Seriously, did someone come here and steal my week cause I’m not sure what happen to it. Seems I woke Monday and then BAM its Friday. I tried to look for a pause button on this crazy ass week but I guess I accidentally put it in […]

All Systems Go!

I’m getting ready to leave here in a short bit (waiting for my husband to get home from his over night outing with friends so that I can say goodbye) and head south to Olympia to stay with my friend, Heidi – who is also walking the 1/2 marathon tomorrow.

Hair looks fabulous (check) […]

OWiS #20… A Dear Tara Letter

Dear Tara,

First off, thanks for all the nice notes and mentions here on your blog. It feels really nice to know you are thinking of me everyday. I know I’ve always been around but this is the first time you’ve really made me a priority and I just can’t tell you how […]

Week in Review / Pre walk jitters

Wow, this week seems to have flown by. I feel like I was just here getting ready to sit down on my pity potty because of my first gain in 19 weeks and here I am a week later with a renewed sense of fight. It was a great week and I am sort […]

One mile madness / Tractor Tires / Fog is clearing

In anticipation of meeting with Superman today, forging a summer long training schedule and being pushed to a sweaty mess of muscle soreness, I woke up with a lot of anxiety . I decided that my one mile run was going to be faster today than it was last week which meant I was […]
